So I blocked a child of alara with my valgavoth terror eater, thinking that valgavoth would stop the giant explosion death trigger.

I told them that its like rest in piece but my play group disagrees. I came here looking for a second opinion. Luckily even then they gave me a takies backsies.

How does Springheart Nantuko work with Panharmonicon?

Does [[Springheart Nantuko]] get double token generation from [[Panharmonicon]] ? If it does, do you need to pay 1G twice? My google and reddit searching did not give me a clear answer.

Thank you!

The Peregrine Dynamo + Planeswalker and a few more Interactions with carth/planeswalkers

So a friend recommended me Carth[[Carth the Lion]] for a new commander / playstyle of deck. Im goldfishing right now, and I just wanted to make sure these things work or not work?

A) The Peregrine Dynamo [[The Peregrine Dynamo]] + Any Planeswalker .

does the dynamo copy any of the loyalty ability, even the emblem ones? Thus bypassing the need to build to 10-cost loyalty counters?

B) Carth [[Carth the Lion]]

When it says +loyalty cost, does it mean for example I use a +2 Loyalty cost, im netting 3 counters? using a -2 Loyalty cost , will cost me only 1 counter?

and for example something that costs -10, do I need the 10, or can I active it with -9 because of Carth.

Is Loki, God of Mischief a wizard?

Loki is typed as a God Sorcerer Villain. I’m just curious if sorcerers counts as wizards like hounds count as dogs. I’ve tried googling it and AI just keeps saying yes while I can’t find any legitimate source, so I’m leaning towards no he doesn’t count.

Edit: He’s not a wizard lol. Thanks for the quick replies!
Edit 2: Hounds don’t count as dogs, because there are no hounds technically. Based off oracle text.

Megatron, Tyrant/Destructive Force and Disciple of Bolas

Building a Megatron artifact/reanimator deck.

Curious if a sac trigger like disciple of bolas could be used in unison with the destructive force text box? How would this work if so? (Understanding the logic will help me find similar engines.) Ultimately, I'm looking for creative ways to fill my graveyard while dealing damage and drawing cards.

Newer to the game, second deck I've ever built. Thanks in advance for the clarifications.

Additionally, if anyone has bracket 3 or higher decks with Megatron as the commander and a similar strategy, let me know.

Phase out creature and Humility interaction

My oponent play [[Phyrexian Dreadnought]] and phase it out with [[Vision Charm]]. In my turn I play [[Humility]].

What happens on my opponent turn? Does the dreadnought phase in as normal? If so, does it comes as a 1/1 or a 12/12?

Necromancy - Casting when not as a sorcery

[[Necromancy]]

If I have [[Sigarda's Aid]] or anything that allows me to cast spells as though they have Flash, do I still sacrifice Necromancy at the next end step? I'm not using Necromancy's built-in permission to cast itself with Flash, but does Necromancy only care if it ever was cast outside of sorcery speed?

EDIT: Oops, /u/NateDogg2 noted that Necromancy is an Enchantment when cast, so Sigarda's Aid doesn't apply. Use Vedalken Orrery instead.

Is Ikra Shidiqi a snake?

Working on a Blech deck and saw this card:

https://gatherer.wizards.com/TDC/en-us/100/ikra-shidiqi-the-usurper

There are four different printings, all with the same name, abilities, and stats. However, only the most recent one from Tarkir Dragonstorm is typed as "Snake Wizard". The other three are "Naga Wizard". The Oracle text only says "Snake Wizard". Has it been errataed into a snake type for all printings?

Terra and enigmatic incarnation end step questions

Context: [[terra, magical adept]] backside creates copy of [[enigmatic incarnation]] that will be sacrificed next end step.

  1. Will all three triggers be put on the stack at the same time so I can order them (two incarnation triggers resolve first and Terra sacrifice trigger last)?

  2. If so, can I sacrifice the incarnations to each other to get two 5cmc creatures, or can I only sacrifice one of them?

equipments vs creatures with shroud or hex

i have been told that when i want to equip a card to a creature, i have to declare the equipment action by targeting the creature. since shroud and hex creatures say "This creature can't be the target of spells or abilities." can i equip a card to them?

also, if a creature gains shroud after i already equipped a card to them, what happens to the equipment?

thanks in advance

Mana cost color pip ordering

My understanding was that color pips are listed in WUBRG order, with special exceptions for cards like Captain America, since RWU works thematically for him. However simic cards seem to always use GU, and Bant cards also seem to have Green listed first (GWU). Is there a reason for this?

Kicker cost and Monstrous Vortex

Buddy is building an Eldrazi deck, he wants to have [[Monstrous Vortex]] on the field and is debating putting in [[Voidpouncer]]. We are not sure if the +1/+1 counters count as a 5 power creature since the counters aren't on the board until it enters, but we can see otherwise.

We saw this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/mtgrules/comments/1gwvfws/monstrous_vortex_and_slinza_triggers/

and are not sure. So would vortex go off if you cast the kicker?

Exiliar

  1. Si hago blink a una criatura, ¿cuando regresa al campo de batalla vuelve a tener mareo de invocación?
  2. Si lanzo Efimerizar sobre una criatura y, en respuesta, mi oponente destruye esa criatura antes de que el hechizo se resuelva, ¿Efimerizar va al cementerio en lugar de exiliarse, ya que no llegó a resolverse correctamente?
  3. Si la habilidad de Glint Hawk se dispara al entrar al campo de batalla y, antes de que se resuelva, el artefacto que pensaba devolver a la mano me lo destruyen/exilian, ¿puedo devolver otro artefacto que controle o tengo que sacrificar el Glint Hawk?
