Seasinger and Shrewd Negotiation

Hi, I’m in a game that has an interaction that I am confused by. This is a multiplayer game.

Player 1 controls [[seasinger]] and has tapped it to steal a creature from player 2 (creature a)

Player 3 casts [[shrewd negotiation]] and exchanges control of an artifact they control with creature A.

The question I have is what happens when player 1 untaps seasinger?

in this case does player 2 regain control of creature A, does the artifact change control or does neither card return to its owner when seasinger gets untapped because they got swapped?

[[The Great Goblin]] and overall Amass questions

Scavenged a budget deck off of moxfield a few months ago as my very first “built” deck. I just bought a precon before that and had some questions about the wording for Amass. If I have my commander [[The Great Goblin]] out and then play [[dragon fodder]] to get the 3 1/1 goblins, and then also played [[tidings of war]] would I be able to put the +1/+1 counters on those said goblins? Or am I creating a 0/0 token because it’s not specifically an “Army”? The way I read it is a group of goblins would be considered the army, even if it’s just a 1/1. If I’m able to, then it would trigger the commander for those 3 times, right? Also [[misty mountain raider]] would work like tidings of war if im making sense of it. Here is deck list for further investigation.

Two aura enchantment questions

Just finished a game of draft Wilds of Eldraine in MTGA, a set I'm not too familiar with, and had two unexpected interactions that I wanted to ask about, both having to do with Aura Enchantments.

  1. An opponent cast [[Bitter Chill]] on my [[Faunsbane Troll]]. Why couldn't I use the troll's ability to sac the aura for a benefit?

  2. I used [[Eriette's Tempting Apple]] to gain control of an opponent's creature that had [[Curiosity]] attached to it. When it dealt damage to the opponent, why didn't I draw a card?

Thanks!

Silence effects *during* cleanup step (Cleanup step combo win)

Building [[Niv-Mizzet Ghost Council]] and devising a cleanup step win where I gain life by discarding to hand size and initiate an infinite chain of drawing above 7 and discarding to hand size, pinging the table to death.

I know Silence wears off at cleanup step, but what happens if someone casts a silence **during** a cleanup step?

I know it would fizzle at the beginning of the next cleanup, but I’m envisioning a situation where someone tries to nuke a combo piece and I need to play over the top of it— specifically someone sniping one of the Eldrazi titans I use to shuffle my graveyard back in to ensure I can do this long enough to kill the table.

Can I [[Bilbo’s Gambit]] the removal spell and continue going off forever provided I have a way to keep the stack alive and not allow the next cleanup to begin? Or do Silence effects not work during cleanup steps at all?

Alhammarret's Archive and Teferi's Ageless Insight

Hey folks. If I have both [[Alhammarret's Archive]] and [[Teferi's Ageless Insight]] out at the same time, do they stack and I draw 3 cards for every one aside from the first I draw in my draw step or is it capped at 2 because they each say 2? Thanks!

Elenda The Dusk Rose sac response vs boardwipes

Lets say Elenda is a 10/10. Someone casts an exile all board wipe, and in response I sac Elenda. Are the 10 Vampires I create caught up in the wipe, or do they enter the battlefield before the wipe resolves and get exiled also?

Rules question about obosh as a companion

Are cards like mox tantalite legal to play in an obosh companion deck? I'm not sure if the would have 0 mana value which would be even or no mana value at all. Even if it has no mana value it still wouldn't have odd mana value so I still am not sure about legality.

Mirror Mockery + Homunculus Horde

I have [[Homunculus Horde]] and cast [[Mirror Mockery]] targeting it. I go to combat and attack, make a copy and then draw my second card for the turn during combat. The token copy that was made from Mirror Mockery creates a copy of itself. I sacrifice the first copy at the end of combat, but I keep the extra copy?

Necklace of Girion question

The card states "Whenever you cast a green spell and whenever a Forest you control enters, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature you control." Do both a land and a green spell have to occur for the counter to trigger? And if so, what is the timing? If I play a Forest then cast a green spell is that legal? Or does it have to be as a result of a ramp spell like Rampant Growth?
