comment How does casting a card for its miracle cost interact with cost modifying abilities?
Hmm, I guess he could be asking about either one, really... Miracle provides an alternative cost, so there's a question about how alternative costs interact with additional costs... but there's also a question about how additional costs interact with X costs... hopefully my answer answers both...

No, it does because he's asking about the alternative cost that Miracle provides.

comment Does Thrumming Stone ripple after ripple
You CAN have any number of copies of Relentless Rats in an EDH/Commander deck. It's the golden rule of Magic: "101. The Magic Golden Rules 101.1. Whenever a card's text directly contradicts these rules, the card takes precedence. The card overrides only the rule that applies to that specific situation. The only exception is that a player can concede the game at any time (see rule 104.3a)."

comment Can you collect a resource of your choice if you have no production due to the robber?
We always put the robber directly on top of the number for the hex, so it's really like the number no longer exists at all. The fact that there's a "5" under the robber is meaningless; that hex doesn't do anything when a 5 is rolled.

comment When should I activate Man Lands and Keyrunes in order to attack with them?
Right, if you say "ok, I'm declaring attackers", then it's too late. If you say "Ok, at the beginning of combat step, I want to do this", then you can do it just fine.

comment Does activating Sensei's Divining Top make me miss my counterbalance trigger?
Right, I see. I wasn't aware that tournaments had special "missed trigger" rules. Carry on! :)

comment Does activating Sensei's Divining Top make me miss my counterbalance trigger?
*Disclaimer... I am not a tournament player nor a judge... perhaps tournaments have some sort of rule about having to acknowledge each trigger that is going on the stack, but I'm pretty sure the MTG rules themselves don't. Triggers that get triggered always go on the stack, whether anyone acknowledges it or not.

comment Does activating Sensei's Divining Top make me miss my counterbalance trigger?
I think the answer is clear... there is no "missed" trigger. The trigger goes on the stack whether or not anyone acknowledges it. It's not until it would resolve that there's the possibility of missing it. There's no rule that says that a player needs to acknowledge or mention each trigger that is going on the stack. A trigger going on the stack cannot be "missed"... only a trigger being resolved can be missed.

comment Is there a term for: “Doesn't untap during next untap step”?
We use "Sleeping" because Sleep is the card with that effect that we use the most.

Having each of the number of players info on separate pages is great! I'm going to have to print these. :)
