How do Lazav, Dimir Mastermind and Vigor work together in Magic the Gathering? I guess in the context of Vigor the template would be other than a creature named Vigor — similar to the Relentless Rats rules text. |

How do Lazav, Dimir Mastermind and Vigor work together in Magic the Gathering? @zo0x Yes. Rules text on a card mentioning the card name always refers to that card only. The template would have to be "other than a source named Vigor" for it not to be the case. See Blazing Effigy |

If I were to “cheat” a card into play, would Kurgadon activate? @corsiKa In other words, my usage of the word clearly is clearly in the context of my answer: referring to the modern functionality of the card, and was not referring to what's printed on the card. Gatherer ("Oracle Wording") is what's used in rules interpretations in MtG tournaments. |

If I were to “cheat” a card into play, would Kurgadon activate? @corsiKa Digerdoo's card text used to say "as though it has just been summoned" which is why I said reading the gatherer wording for older cards can make the analysis easier. This is why Wizards has a canonical source for card rules text: to keep interpretations current with modern rules and templates. |

How can I speed up the setup of Eclipse? Those population trays are neat! |

Can somebody continue a road after it has been cut off/separated from its nearest city? @Justin Page 4 of the rulebook says "A new road must always connect to 1 of your existing roads, settlements or cities." Clearly if could play a road at X in this example, you are not connecting it to your road, you are connecting it to an opponent's city. This is not allowed. If you were to play a road at your O, it would be connecting to your city, but your own cities do not interrupt the length of your road for the purposes of the "Longest Road" card. |

After using Act of Treason and Cloudshift, does a creature re-enter the battlefield under my control? Since Act of Treason no longer has a legal target, it fails to resolve. |

After using Act of Treason and Cloudshift, does a creature re-enter the battlefield under my control? @Pow-Ian CR 400.7 “An object that moves from one zone to another becomes a new object with no memory of, or relation to, its previous existence.” There are seven listed exceptions to the rule, one of them (400.7g) allows Cloudshift to bring the card back. But none of the exceptions are applicable to Act of Treason. The creature initially targeted by Act of Treason (remember, targets are selected when casting the spell, not upon resolution) is not the same creature that has returned from the Exile zone. |

Card Organization: Multi-Color Cards "this isn't to say the other answers are bad." Good. Because my answer is pretty much what you said. ;) |

what is a storage counter on a land card and how do you use it? @thesunneversets I think you're only partly right, there has been some standardization of +X/+Y counters to +1/+1 and -1/-1 and when counters are a theme in a set they have a consistent name, eg. Charge counters on artifacts in Mirrodin. But "one-off" imaginative counters still show up regularly. See Assemble the Legion, Azor's Elocutors, Grimoire of the Dead etc. |

What are the chances of shooting the moon in Hearts? @TimLymington Gah, you are correct, I forgot to account for the fact that in Hearts, the 2 of clubs is always led first. In short, any guaranteed inevitable moonshot hand requires the Ace of Clubs. Your empirical opinion matches my experience. :) |

You may be thinking of Charge Counters, like on Mirrodin's Core, but that wasn't released until 2004. Obviously there was no consideration of interaction with counters which wouldn't be used for another 10 years. |

Do cards that say “Each player…” target me? I thought at first the word "spells" would be enough, but I added the caveat "when they are on the stack" so hopefully that's clear enough. |

Do cards that say “Each player…” target me? @thesunneversets Auras target something only when the spell is on the stack. If a Zur the Enchanter, for example, puts the Curse on the battlefield, it will not be affected by Shroud. see CR 303.4a and 303.4f |
