So, I am building a red green aggro deck and was wondering a couple of different things. The first being, if i cast bloodbraid elf and cascade into a savageborn hydra can i have it come into play as a (1/1) does it die? can I at that point then pay extra for it? how does it work? Secondly, Same question for cascading into a green sun's zenith, and thirdly. I can green sun's zenith into my hydra for however much i want right? like if I pay 7 colorless and a Green my hydra is a (5/5) correct? help me out here guys!

Like if you are sponsored by Channel Fireball or Blackborder. do they provide you with cards that you need for a tournament? or do they pay for transportation and registration for events? anyone know? a simple google search didn't yield me much results

If i play an extirpate or a surgical extraction and i go through my opponents library, after it has resolved i can't play archive trap for free correct? because it has to be them searching there library not anyone is my understanding. Is this right?

I have a combo elves deck and have looked at an absurd amount of decklists for combo elves and Heres my question. I have seen a few decks that run 1 Dryad Arbor so that they can Green Sun Zenith for zero turn one to have that one extra mana, and those same decks run 3 to 4 zeniths instead of 2, why don't they run 4 Dryad Arbor? the only problem i see is that they could ping it a lot more often. But in the meta that I'm in for legacy people run reanimators and drudge and other tier 1 decks that really don't burn creatures. Please say your opinion and an explanation would be fabulous.

Im confused as to how the regeneration works. so do i tap one green mana and regenerate it whenever i want to bring it back like drudge skeletons? or does tapping one green mana prevent it from transforming back?

Im asking because i simply don't know the answer. here is my situation.

my opponent has no creatures out and i am attacking with Stromkirk noble after i have played the sorcery Assault Strobe which gives him double strike.

Does my Stromkirk Noble deal a total of 2 damage and then get a +1/+1 counter on it?

or does it deal first strike damage, get a +1/+1 counter and then deal regular combat damage gaining an additional +1/+1 counter doing a total of 3 damage and have 2 +1'+1 counters on it after combat? i don't know how the effect of Stromkirk plays on the stack when double strike is on a creature. Thank you ahead of time!

I came across the card psychic surgery and it intruiged me. My question is, what happens if i have 2 in play at one time? do both of them get automatically exiled? or do i look at the first 2, exile one and then look at the top to again to exile one? or does the second one not work at all? and also, what would happen if you had a third or fourth in play?

This deck is purely casual and i was wondering if it would have any effective gameplay

I use Blue to mill, hybrid generaly to draw and get everything to hit home and green to have these massive powerhouse cards. let me know what you think

I have alot of fun putting decks together and i was thinking about a White/Black deck. So i threw together a list off cards i saw on gatherer.com and was wondering if anyone had any tips before i spend the money on this deck, thank you :)

Ive gotten this deck almost as fine tuned as possible and my friends wont let me play it in our little circle so i can only use it in the legacy tournaments, but there i can still never manage to get first place (always 4th or 5th out of 30) id be greatful if anyone could tell me what the final touch would be. thank you

Land:

15 Forest

Creatures:

4 Joraga Warcaller (focal point of the deck)

4 Llanowar Elves (obvious one drop, helps with mana)

4 Priest of Titania (mana ramp)

4 Bramblewood Paragon (gives the warcaller a counter when he comes into play and also gives trample)

4 Elvish Vanguard (gets big pretty fast once a promenade hits)

4 Wren's Run Vanquisher (easy 2 drop that is intimadating and is also a blocker while i wait to build some mana up)

4 Elvish Archdruid (elvish champion plus priest of titania, what can you say?

4 Imperious Perfect (Gives +1/+1 while also putting elves into play)

4 Jagged-Scar Archer (helps with flyers and gets big really fast)

Noncreature spells:

1 Worldly Tutor (might replace with imperious perfect?)

4 Afiya Grove (I can bring that out and sit on it until a warcaller comes out or i can put it on existing one on the field every turn)

1 Quest for the Gemblades (gives mucho counters to warcaller)

1 Elven Rite (once again warcaller)

2 Elvish Promenade (Slaughters when i have vanguards out or a couple of counters on a warcaller)

What am i missing that would make this elite? help me out here

Ive had this deck for about a year now and i have fined tuned it little by little into what i would consider is a pretty decent deck, i just want to know the final touch that would turn it into a great deck, heres the list:

Land: 20

4 New Benalia

4 Daru Encampment

12 Plains

Creatures: 26

4 Elite Vanguard

2 Loyal Sentry

4 Ballyrush Banneret

4 Preeminent Captain

2 Field Marshal

3 Daru Warchief

2 Ranger of Eos

1 Darien, King of Kjeldor

4 Captain of the Watch

Instants/sorcerys/enchantments: 14

2 Harms Way

2 Piety Charm

2 Path to Exile

4 Honor of the Pure

1 Militia's Pride

3 Raise the Alarm

So right now the only fine tuning that i can really think of is adding elspeth, but i am waiting until the duel decks come out for that. Any Pointers? Suggestions? anything would be greatly appreciated :)

I have built this mill deck and it has worked phenomenal, but i havent seen one with a decklist quite like it.?

it has:

4 Glimpse the Unthinkable

4 Mind Funeral

4 Hedron Crab

4 Memory Sluice

4 Tome Scour

4 Energy Field

4 Millstone

4 Howling Mine

3 Brain Freeze

2 keening stone

4 polluted delta

4 drowned catacomb

4 Bad river

6 Island

5 Swamp

I was thinking on swapping out the 2 Keening Stone for either Twincast, Mystical Tutor, Extirpate, or Vision charm, other then that i have beat jund, Affinity, Eldrazi Elves. etc. I just dont see why i havent seen a deck list like this before. It has the energy field to make it so i dont have to care about damage and then i just build up cards with howling mine until i just unload with mill cards and plant another energy field down to stop them again. any ideas?
