Maha and Ashaya layers question:

Maha and Ashaya layers question:

Like many players, I'm a bit confused by layers. So, I'm trying to figure out how Maha, it's Feathers Night would affect something like Ashaya, Soul of the Wilds?

If I controlled Maha and an opponent controlled Ashaya along with 5 lands, would Ashaya's toughness be 1 or 6?

Please explain how this works.

Thank you in advance.

Forum Filibuster and token doubler

Hello everyone, I did a quick search on this but couldn't find anything.

If I have a token doubler (such as Doubling Season) on the battlefield when Forum Filibuster triggers (creating 2x Inkling tokens), would I then be able to return 2 aura's or equipment from my graveyard attached to those creatures, as a result of Forum's reflexive trigger?

If not, please explain why.

Thank you in advance.

Copying Conformer Shuriken Trigger

Hello all,

I am wondering about copying the effect of Conformer Shuriken (CS) with something like Strionic Resonator (SR).

For example, I attach CS to a 1/1 creature and swing at an opponent with a 7/7 creature and a 5/5 creature. CS triggers and I target the 7/7. CS's ability goes on the stack with 6(+1/+1) counters.

I then activate SR, selecting the same target. Would my creature end up with 12(+1/+1) counters?

Alternatively, since SR allows me to choose new targets, could I then target the 5/5 with the copy of CS's triggered ability? Resulting in tapping both creatures and my creature getting a total of 10(+1/+1) counters?

Finally, how would this differ with something like Isshin, Two Heavens as One, as his ability causes an additional trigger, rather than a copy.

I apologize for the lengthy text, I am just a bit confused as to the exact timing of copying the ability and what that carries with it.

Thank you in advance for your responses.

Warrior's Resolve Question

Hello All,

If I attacked with a Silent Hallcreeper (by itself, no counters in it) and choose its first option (put two +1/+1 counters on itself when it deals combat damage), would Warrior's Resolve draw me a card at the beginning of the end step?

For reference, Warrior's Resolve ability reads "At the beginning of your end step, if you control a creature with a +1/+1 counter on it that attacked this turn, draw a card."

The way it reads to me is: I have to control a creature that attacked, and it must have a +1/+1 counter.

Some argue that the creature had to have the +1/+1 counter when it attacked.

Thank you in advance for the clarification.

Isshin and Cloud Midgar Mercenary triggers

Hi,

I've read some of the other threads on this topic, but have not found a clear explanation of why this interaction doesn't work as expected.

If Cloud Midgar Mercenary (CMM) attacks while equipped with Argentum Armor, while Isshin, Two Heavens as One (ITHO) is on the battlefield, shouldn't Argentum Armor destroy 4 permanents?

Logic:

CMM attacks, triggering Argentum's own trigger (T1)

CMM ability causes Argentum to trigger an ADDITIONAL time (T2)

ITHO should see Argentum's own trigger (T1) and the trigger ADDITIONAL TRIGGER (T2), then cause each to trigger an additional time, for a total of 4 times.

I say "should" because from what I've found this does not happen. Could someone explain why?

Thank you in advance.

Isshin, Two Heavens as One and Krenko, Tinstreet Kingpin interaction

Hello All,

If I have both Isshin and Krenko on the battlefield and attack with Krenko (at base power), what is the maximum number of goblins that I can create?

I believe it is 5. However, if the triggers can be arranged to where each trigger of putting a +1/+1 counter on Krenko resolves first, and then each set of goblins are created, it would be 6.

Mirkwood Bats and Mardu Siegebreaker Interaction

Quick question about how this would work?

If I control Mirkwood Bats (MB) and exile it to Mardu Siegebreaker's (MSB) ETB ability. When I attack with MSB, would each MB see itself as a token that is being created along with the others?

In other words, if I had 3 opponents, would each MSB attack cause each opponent to lose 9 life on attack and then 9 life at end of turn (when the tokens are sacrificed)?
