Which way is correct? A: Your local judge is correct. When a card refers to its own name in its text, it refers only to itself. The clause "other than Talon of Pain " means "other than this card", other Talons of Pain will trigger it, and you can put counters on one Talon of Pain if another Talon of Pain deals damage. Q: If you lose life while Lich's Tomb is in play and can't sacrifice a permanent what happens? Also if you're under zero life and this occurs what happens? A: You will usually have a permanent to sacrifice — Lich's Tomb is also a permanent that can be sacrificed, and you must sacrifice it if there are no other permanents to sacrifice.
With its effect not active anymore, you will lose the game if you are at zero of less life. A: You can do this. Culling Scales targets a permanent with the lowest converted mana cost each of your upkeeps, and you are allowed to choose indestructible permanents even though they won't be destroyed by the effect. Mycosynth Lattice only changes permanents in play to artifacts, cards not in play are just colorless, but not artifacts.
Since the Engineer can only be used to pay for artifact spells and activated artifact abilities, it can't be used to pay for the colorless Mana Leak , it's not an artifact. Q: If I play Machinate , will I be able to stack the cards that are put back? A: Yes, you will. When multiple cards are put into the library at the same time, the owner of the library chooses the order they go into the library. You can put the cards in any order you like. Nevinyrral's Disk is usually destroyed by its own effect, but if it has a regeneration shield, it won't be destroyed, it will be regenerated instead.
This is different from many similar cards, like Oblivion Stone , which says that you sacrifice it to pay the activation cost — it's not possible to regenerate something that is sacrificed, only things that are destroyed. Q: I was wondering what happens when you animate equipment and then activate it targeting itself? Does the Skullclamp die, while checking for state-based effects?
And if so do I get to draw 2 cards? A: Equipment that is also a creature can't equip anything, so this trick won't work. You can activate the equip ability, trying to have Skullclamp equip itself when it's a creature, but rule Also, if an equipment that is equipping a creature is turned into a creature, it immediately stops equipping the creature. A: You're exactly right. Sun Droplet 's abilities are triggered abilities you can tell, because triggered abilities begin with "When", "Whenever" or "At".
Triggered abilities are almost always cumulative. It is important to note that "regeneration" consists of two parts, similar to the Schwartz This is the most common source of confusion because both parts are referred to as "regeneration. When a regeneration ability activated or triggered is played, it generates a replacement effect that will be applied the next time the creature is destroyed or dealt lethal damage. When you activate a regeneration ability , it essentially generates a "regeneration shield" on the creature which means "The next time this creature is destroyed or dealt lethal damage, instead remove all damage from it, tap it, and if it's in combat remove it from combat.
You may play an activated regeneration ability anytime you have priority and the resources necessary to pay the costs. However, the "regeneration shield" must be in place before the creature is actually dealt lethal damage or destroyed.
In other words, you cannot wait until after the creature has been destroyed in order to activate the ability and you cannot return a creature card in the graveyard to play using regeneration. If you activate a regeneration ability and the creature is not destroyed or dealt lethal damage before the Cleanup Step see the Magic Turn Structure Chart , the "regeneration shield" simply wears off with other "until end of turn" effects.
When you activate a regeneration ability , a "regeneration shield" is generated. When the creature would be destroyed or dealt lethal damage, the "regeneration shield" takes effect and the regeneration effect results in the following: 1- All damage is removed from the creature 2- The creature is tapped.
The regeneration effect replaces the creature being destroyed, so the destruction never happens. Since the destruction never happened, the creature is never put into the graveyard. Since the destruction never happened and the creature is never put into the graveyard, equipment stays attached and enchantments continue to enchant the regenerated creature. A regeneration ability can only be used while the creature is in play.
This sorcery can immediately close out a game. Even paying only 2 or 3 mana for its variable cost is a great deal since zombie tribal decks will always have something to sacrifice. You sacrifice the cat to the artifact and get a food token.
Then, sacrifice the food to bring the cat back and do it again next turn. What sets Rakdos Sacrifice apart from other decks using this engine though is the inclusion of Mayhem Devil. With this creature, every time you sacrifice a permanent, you can ping any target.
Rakdos Sacrifice also runs copies of Woe Strider and Priest of Forgotten Gods to take advantage of these synergies further. Both are sac outlets that can provide additional value in the form of scrying and removal and mana, respectively.
Furthermore, Rakdos Sacrifice plays Judith, the Scourge Diva for an extra card to ping opponents when your creatures die. And as for additional creatures to sacrifice, you can expect to see copies of Dreadhorde Butcher and Gutterbones as well. If you like the ramp and creature value that green offers, you can also build this deck into Jund Sacrifice. This variant runs Wicked Wolf and Trail of Crumbs for the food synergies, plus some much-needed removal and filtering. Korvold, Fae-Cursed King serves as another sac outlet and a win condition too.
However, it is undoubtedly possible to port the decklist over to Historic and play it there instead. Sacrifice decks are heavily reliant on their sac outlets being in play. Without them, the deck is essentially dead in the water. As such, counter, destroy, or otherwise remove all sac outlets when you see them.
Other sacrifice cards require adaptability, though. Because sacrifice is a standard keyword action, there is no perfect strategy to handle all sacrifice cards. As such, make sure to remove any cards that can force you to sacrifice before they get out of hand. The totem armor keyword does not count as sacrifice. Instead, totem armor specifies that the aura is destroyed. Whether or not you can do this at instant speed depends on the card in question. Some, like Viscera Seer , can be activated at any time.
Others, like Sadistic Hypnotist , can only be activated whenever you could cast a sorcery. Regardless, you cannot sacrifice a permanent just because you want to. Sacrifice is a keyword ability that features on certain cards. If you like Goblin-themed decks, Mad Auntie is a good addition. Maybe, but it allows for more varied plays instead of just an indestructible creature bashing away. Bash to Bits. Regeneration has been out of the game for quite a while, and anything similar that comes along in new sets would be a great door to some unique gameplay.
What do you think? Should maybe a simpler version of regeneration be brought back, or is this just a relic of the past that seems better than it was? Let us know your thoughts in the comments down below!
Note: this post contains affiliate links. I like regeneration more than indestructible. To me, indestructible is more confusing. If something is indestructible, why is it removable at all? It is also boring because it is so hard to get rid of. If indestructible replaced regeneration, cards like Terror should kill indestructible. Finding this article really late, but…. If you play a creature with Morph face down, that creature gets destroyed, and you regenerate it using an instant… does it regenerate face down, or does it regenerate face up?
After a brief debate we settled on regenerating face-down… preserving the state it was in when it was regenerated. Was that the right call?
