What is the point in disclosure of the bidding system to opponents? @qble It sounds like there's an additional excellent question there: what exactly does it mean to disclose a bidding system, and what determines whether it's a legal one? |

Can an opponent destroy an Iron Maiden during their upkeep to avoid taking damage from it? The yes/no question you asked in your title was different from the ones you ask in the body of your question; I changed the title since the answers are already matched to the body. (Lucky you - often people focus on the title and just skim the body!) |

How much would it cost to get started with Magic: The Gathering? You're still assuming the OP wants to play in tournaments (and likes drafting). There are an awful lot of people just playing casually, though. If you just want to play with your friends and aren't into Limited tournaments, then it of course makes no sense to use them as a way to buy boosters! |

Mini game within a game Also, if what you're actually looking for is to learn how a mechanic like this might be used (and how well it works), you might want to edit your question. As it is, you're kind of polling (asking for a list of many games), as evidenced by the answers, which is a valid reason to close questions, since we like directly answerable questions. |

How much would it cost to get started with Magic: The Gathering? No one ever explained their downvotes, but there are a few main problems with your answer. You assume that everyone only wants to play in tournaments, when the OP is clearly a casual player. Further, you assume that everyone will prefer the same kinds of tournaments you do (vintage, legacy, and limited) when standard is a quite popular format (even though you think it's horrible). And finally, your knowledge and terminology is wildly out of date - the "type 1/1.5/2" names were changed by 2005. |

Mini game within a game Enter the Dungeon not only has you play a Magic subgame but you play it under the table. (I suppose there was also Shahrazad, but that's clearly not as cool.) |

First strike and bioshift @wesdfgfgd If your opponent has the opportunity to "respond" with a life gain spell or ability, then you also have the opportunity to play Bioshift. But really, there's no need to specify that you're trying to deal lethal damage to your opponent. The question of whether you can both kill the creature and hit your opponent hard is perfectly valid even if your opponent isn't dead. |

When should I activate Man Lands and Keyrunes in order to attack with them? @Rawrgramming What you're saying here is that the commonly used shortcut goes to the declare attackers step. That's orthogonal to the question you actually asked, about activating these abilities. Clearly, the rules give you the choice to activate them during the beginning of combat step (for whatever reason). Yes, there are things you can say which translate to "I'm skipping over that step", but it seems you're being really eager to restate that as "you can't do anything in that step unless you can justify it to a judge." |

When should I activate Man Lands and Keyrunes in order to attack with them? 507. Beginning of Combat Step ... 507.3. Third, the active player gets priority. Players may cast spells and activate abilities. |

Creating easy to learn but difficult to master games For a summary of our Q&A format, see the about page; for more see the faq. The one thing here that might be a fit is something like "what factors cause simple rules to result in complex games?" But asking about "what would the rules be?" is obviously an unanswerable question - there are so many different games in this category. |

Does transforming keyrunes count towards Evolve? (The duplicate is about lands turning into creatures, but I think it's pretty clear the answer wouldn't be different for an artifact.) |
