Nov 9	comment	Is it possible to counter cards that boost a creatures power during the combat phase? @ColinD No, that's not true. If he is the active player (which he is because he's attacking) then he can continue to cast instant-speed spells and activate abilities until he decides to pass priority. `116.3c If a player has priority when he or she casts a spell, activates an ability, or takes a special action, that player receives priority afterward.` Of course, you have a chance to respond to any or all of those, and logically, it's to your advantage to pass priority after each one (otherwise you give your opponent more information than necessary), but it's not required.
Nov 8	comment	Is it possible to counter cards that boost a creatures power during the combat phase? Suddenly, Brass Squire! :)
Nov 5	comment	How many of the same artifact can be on the battlefield at once? It's an infinite limit, you just have to get there one at a time :)
Oct 31	comment	How many missed triggers are necessary before you begin to have Game Losses and/or DQs? That's the incident that inspired the discussion actually. Although she was DQ'd for something different. She was DQ'd for willfully allowing a discrepancy in life total to be unresolved. I think it's a shame she got DQ'd, but that's another story.
Oct 29	comment	How many missed triggers are necessary before you begin to have Game Losses and/or DQs? I read it, and read it, and searched it for words like "escalated" and "elevated" but didn't think to search for "upgraded". Thanks!
Oct 26	comment	How does poison work in Commander? Or if your opponent can't gain poison counters. The damage is still dealt, but no poison counters are gained.
Oct 26	comment	Can a creature's sacrifice benefit be taken when it is sacrificed to Eldrazi Monument? A lot of cards are worded to avoid this ambiguity. Instead of `If you can't...` they will say `If no creature was sacrificed in this way...`
Oct 25	comment	Does Steel Hellkite destroy cards in my opponent's library and hand? @Alex oops, I thought it was 'damage' not 'combat damage'... Doh!
Oct 25	comment	Can you use a planeswalker ability even if the planeswaker doesn't have enough loyalty? This is a problem for something like Garruk Relentless
Oct 25	comment	Can a creature with protection from all colors be targetted with a damage spell when it is still on the stack? Guess the op is stuck using [mtg:livewire lash] on some artifact creatures :)
Oct 25	comment	Which 40K army is this? I think this could help someone else if more information about how to identify the pieces is presented.
Oct 25	comment	How can I improve a Zombie deck to work faster? It's unfortunate that despite the fact OP specifically mentions wanting to cast on turn 1 and turn 2, this answer doesn't mention the mana curve. It's not a difficult concept, and it does wonders for improving deck consistency.
Oct 18	comment	Will using Nephalia Smuggler save a creature targeted by a destruction spell? The downvote can be removed if there's an edit to the post.
Oct 15	comment	Are there common themes in “settlement” games? I disagree with your assessment that there is no tradeoff between VP and economy. There are many times where it would be cheaper in terms of VP per resource spent to build one way, but spending more (longer roads/more ships) to build somewhere else advances your economy more in the long run. There is still very often a tradeoff.
Oct 12	comment	Is there an instant win condition by abusing a loophole in Bang? @jsbueno I disagree with your assessment of their answer. I think they meant it as "Look, some combinations of cards will allow one player to completely take out another player." Not "Look, some combinations of cards will allow one player to win the game in a single turn." I just don't think they realized 'broken' aspect of it. The person that answered was probably a customer service rep, not someone who actually understands non-poker-deck card games.
Oct 12	comment	Creating a Magic Ecommerce store I see something wrong. They may only allow you to use those images for personal use. It's hardly fair use to say "These images you put for personal use, I'm going to use them for commercial use." As far as number 1, you can still have restrictions on resale even with the first sale doctrine.
Oct 5	comment	When does a token have the same name as another token? Also note that some creatures created named tokens with the same name as an actual card. Consider [mtg:Skirk Ridge Exhumer] who puts into play a [mtg:Festering Goblin] token. This would kill creatures that are either the festering goblin tokens, or the festering goblin cards. In the same manner, if you had 1/1 birds and 3/3 birds, it would exile them all. Unlike my other examples, which don't have festering goblin or 3/3 birds, there are 1/1 red humans and 1/1 white humans in current standard. This would take them all out.
Oct 3	comment	Does Cremate counter Flashback, Scavenge, and their ilk? @AlexP That makes much more sense. A friend (and frequent winner of 60+ member tournaments) suggested Cremate to me as a budget Snap-counter alternative to Deathrite Shaman. Now I see why. I might not know exactly which one he's going to use with snap, but I'll probably have an idea.
Oct 1	comment	Hypersonic dragon => instant scavenge? I see, in hind sight, only 2 creatures require two different colors for scavenging. I suppose +1 or +2 counters on hypersonic dragon would make it an even bigger threat.
Oct 1	comment	How does the double strike mechanic interact with other mechanics like lifelink or trample? One nitpick: the creature may still be around on the second strike. Let's say the 10/10 FS LL Trample was blocked by a 1/1 indestructible. In the FS damage phase, 1 damage is marked on the 1/1 to assign it lethal damage, and 9 trample damage is assigned to defending player. In the regular combat phase, 0 damage is marked on the 1/1 because it already has lethal damage. This allows for 10 damage on the defending player. (Note that you could, if you wanted, assign more than lethal damage to the creature. You simply aren't required to.) So it's up to 9 and up to 10 damage to defending player.
