General Questions / Reveal Enchantment Timing Question
« on: December 30, 2012, 08:54:12 PM »
Lets say I have maim wings on an opponent's flying creature, unrevealed.
My opponent activates the creature.
At this point, if I reveal, my opponent will not be able to target a flying creature.
Lets say I wait until my opponent declares the attack, and targets one of my flying creatures.
If I reveal now, since the target has already been declared, I would expect it to be too late to prevent the attack.

Thematically this would represent maiming the wings after the creature was already locked in combat with the opponent, so it is too late to negate the target.

Does this sound right?

Rules Discussion / Is a "strike" also an "attack"
« on: December 28, 2012, 07:55:20 PM »
It seems that a strike cannot be an attack, because strikes happen within an attack, they do not have their own attack phase, but are a single phase within the attack.
But it also seems that the rules also explicitly say that triple strike and double strike grant additional attacks.

These both cannot be true.

It matters because if I have melee + X, and if a strike is an attack, I only get the bonus for the first attack.  But if a strike is not an attack, but part of an attack, then I get the bonus for all of my strikes.

General Questions / Can I add more mana to a reversed spell?
« on: December 28, 2012, 06:04:05 PM »
Reverse Magic: When this creature is targeted by an incantation or enchantment spell controlled by an opponent, you must reveal Reverse Magic during the Counter Spell Step.  You take control of that spell.  Redirect it back to the caster, who now becomes the target of the spell.  If the spell cannot target the caster, it is countered.  Then, destroy reverse magic.

Say for example, the Warlock casts explode on the Beastmaster's regenration belt, and the Beastmaster has reverse magic.  Can the Beastmaster change the target of the spell to the warlock's lash of hellfire, paying the 2 mana difference?  (regeneration belt costs 6, lash of hellfire costs 8)

General Questions / Does pacify negate the second sweeping attack?
« on: December 28, 2012, 04:41:40 PM »
Pacify: Each round, the first time this creature makes a melee or ranged attack, its controller must pay 2 mana during the Declare Attack Step, or else the attack is canceled.  Pacify does not affect counterstrikes.

Sweeping: This attack has a wide sweeping arc and can target and strike 2 different targets in the same zone.  The second attack occurs at the end of the attack sequence from the first attack.  Start a new attack sequence beginning with the Declare Attack Step.  Note: The second attack cannot be made against the same target as the first attack.  If there is not a different valid target for the second attack, then the Sweeping trait has no effect this round.

So sounds obvious that extra strikes you get from doublestrike and triplestrike would be cancelled, but not the extra attack you get from sweeping.

The scenario I am imagining is two opponent creatures, one guarding.  I have one creature with the pacify enchantment attached and a sweeping attack.  I make the sweeping attack on the guard, but choose not to pay the 2 mana indicated on pacify.  The first attack is cancelled and the guard marker is removed, freeing up my second attack for the other creature.  Is it correct that I can do this?  If not, why not?

Rules Discussion / Can "Death Link" heal more life that target has?
« on: December 23, 2012, 10:16:51 PM »
"Each Upkeep Phase, the controller of Death Link may heal up to 2 damage from his Mage and place it on this creature as direct damage, regardless of distance or LoS.

Say I have death link on a creature that only has 1 hit point.  Can I heal 2 and overkill the creature?

General Questions / When does "different" reset for Pentagram?
« on: December 23, 2012, 10:05:05 PM »
"Each time a different enemy creature is attacked and damaged by a friendly creature, place 1 mana on Pentagram.  Pentagram may gain a maximum of 2 mana this way per round.  During the deployment phase, if there is 2 or more mana on Pentagram, it may summon 1 dark living creature."

Read literally, once a it triggers for one creature, it cannot ever trigger for that creature again, since that creature is no longer 'different', it is the same as a creature that has been targeted by Pentagram before.  The intent could be made explicit by placing the phrase "this round" or "this game" at the end of the first sentence, but I don't know which phrase I should use.
