How does casting a card for its miracle cost interact with cost modifying abilities? Updated, thanks. |

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... |

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)." |

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. |

At regular REL can players rewind the game state? Where can I find a list of the different RELs and the differences between them? |

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. |

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! :) |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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

Can one creature block multiple attacks? I would bold the "one" in "chooses one creature for it to block." |

Why are Shocklands better than Guildgates? You're also correct; having the types Forest Plains also makes the shocklands slightly better, because they interact with other cards that care about those types. In some cases, that can be a disadvantage though, like if your opponent has a creature with Forestwalk. |

Does Fateful Hour apply in this combat? Also, his opponent probably would WANT to go from 7 life to 5 life, if he's playing Fateful Hour... |

Is Lookout usually a good pick with a Big Money strategy? "But if you are playing Lookout/Smithy you aren't really playing Big Money any more." I don't think this is accurate. Big Money doesn't have to mean just 0 or 1 action cards in addition to money. It just means that you are much more focused on getting money than you are on other actions cards. See this article on Big Money for more details: forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=6403.0 |

What happens when the {X} in Mind Grind *is* zero? Curious, why the need for the X can't be 0 restriction? It seems like if that weren't there, and you did cast it for x=0, then each opponent simply wouldn't have to reveal any cards, because they have already "revealed 0 land cards". So it would be a pointless, wasted spell... why the additional restriction? |

Processioning a Madman Also note that if it weren't for the "if you do" on Madman, then you would draw a total of 9 cards, not 6 cards... 3 the first time, then 6 the second time. Brian Mains appeared to think you should count your hand only the first time. |

Procession and Throne room interaction @Jefromi You are definitely correct. The game designer has discussed this several times. He intended for all cards that force you to do something to keep you accountable, like Beaurocrat, but missed it on Throne Room and a couple others. This is indeed why King's Court is "may." |
