Do you realise that killing the sculler in response to his ability is bad. His second ability would then trigger (return the removed card to hand) before the first ability. so when the sculler hits the yard the effect to remove a card from your hand is still there, but now it's premanently gone.

I was worried about that but I wasnt exactly sure how it worked. Thank you for explaining it.

wow awesome game guys

[MagicForTheWin]

thank you

[Darkslayer577]

u bant or faeries?

[MagicForTheWin]

Faeries, I love control. Guess I'm a control freak lol.

ILLEGAL MOVES PART 1: 1) Player on left didn't responded with Bitterblossom, he just played it when it was his turn. 2)Responding to Tidehollow doesn't kill it. It hasn't even touched the board. If you responded to it's first triggered ability then the thing are something like that on the stack: //Stack TOP Agony Warp Tidehollow's 1rst trigger BOTTOM Agony Warp resolves killing the Tide making it trigger it's second trigger (Leaves play.) After second trigger resolves, time for first.

what is a dark bant deck based upon?

[SwordSkill2]

@niffer452 Well I know but I'm not talking about game rules, but for DCI rules, While you have a solid point when saying that once attackers have been declared there is no way to "undeclare" them unless removed from combat somehow, what happens if the opponent plays way to fast and immediately tap his creature before you get a chance to do anything?

[niffer452]

@SwordSkill2 506.4b Tapping or untapping a creature that’s already been declared as an attacker or blocker

doesn’t remove it from combat and doesn’t prevent its combat damage.

This is directly from the rule book. You can't say "before you attack" after they have already declared attackers. This would give you an unfair advantage because you would already know which creatures are attacking. Dems da rules.

[SwordSkill2]

Oh yes you can, there isn't any time restriction in Magic so if your opponent play to fast and is like "I attacked you can't tap!" that's is totally wrong, the he can go back "in time" to settle things up.

And as I said you can't respond to attacking man cause it is a turn based action. Turn based actions don't use the stack. You can only respond to things on stack.

There is no such thing as time restriction in Magic so tapping fast the creatures to attack doesn't prevent the opp from answering.

[niffer452]

@SwordSkill2 You can't say "before you attack". You should actually do it before he attacks. They aren't attacking because they are tapped. They are attacking and as a result they become tapped. Say they declare Serra Angel as an attacker. In response, you decide to tap it with Gideon's Lawkeeper. Serra Angel is still attacking regardless.

@SwordSkill2 dude, stfu, your commenting on a 10 month old comment. I already told you, they can play however they want, aint no refs, aint no rules, aint no judges, this aint no fuckin DCI.

[SwordSkill2]

@niffer452 Well while your point is valid, if the opponent wants to tap the creatures he may do so by saying something like "And at the beginning of combat phase" or "before you attack (Meaning that he is doing it at the beginning of combat phase)" but he can't do it if he say something like "Response to attack" cause declaring attackers is a turn based action which occurs at the start of declare attackers step and thus it doesn't use the stack.

[SwordSkill2]

@bigfabe12 Guys like you who don't know the rules ruin the game. I got sick of seeing noobs like you in MWS who say something like "I attacked you can't tap my creature"!!!

[niffer452]

@SwordSkill2 Oh, and he decided to tap his creatures. They are already declared as attackers.

@soaply69 Haha sorry if it was a dumb question. Thanks for not being a dick to me. :D
