  • [MTG] A few questions regarding the game?

    1. When Derevi attacks with sword of feast and famine and deals combat damage, can I untap Derevi since it reads "you may"?

    2. If I scapeshape for both valakut and Vesuva, can I have vesuva come into the battlefield as a copy of valakut since they enter at the same time? Why or why not?

    3. When my opponent cast a creature for its bestow cost and I remove the targeted creature on the stack, does the bestowed creature still hit the battlefield as an actual creature?

  • Need help with circuit Analysis problem invovling inductor!?

    In this circuit, I have a 1mA source going into a 4.7kOhm resistor that is in parallel with a inductor. My objective is to determine the current and the voltage going through the inductor.

    I thought about transform the circuit using Norton's equivalent to produce a 4.7V source in series with a 4.7kOhm resistor and the inductor, and in doing so I can determine the i since the inductor now acts as a short circuit with DC source.

    Is that correct? If not, how should I go about this problem?

  • [MTG] -Ruling question-?

    My first question is about detain. My understanding is that if I detain Delver of Secrets, and it transforms on my opponent's turn, detain no longer works due to Delver taking on a different name after transformation. If this is not correct, please provide explanation.

    My second question is about Mimic Vat. In EDH, is it possible to exile a general to it? If so, what happens? If not, how come?

  • [MTG] -Ruling Question-?

    I'm attacking with a green 74/74 trample creature, and my opponent blocks with a pro green dude. Can I assign five damage to the guy and trample over the rest to end him? Or maybe I can't assign enough since 5 won't be "lethal" due to protection.

  • [MTG] - Ruling question about priority-?

    I've been playing MTG for sometime now, but the idea of having and passing priority is still vague to me. Please let me know if I'm understanding the following situations correctly, and if I'm not, the most clear explaination would be a 5 star answer.

    Situation 1: My Explore accelerated into a turn 3 Ajani Vengeant. I now have priority, since I have casted and successfully resolved a spell. Now if I choose to active Ajani's ability, or do anything else, even tapping a land for a mana, would give my opponent a chance to respond by casting a lightning bolt on Ajani and killed him. However, before I choose what to do after I resolve him, my opponent can not cast that lightning bolt to kill Ajani because I have not passed my priority.

    Situation 2: I Show and Tell a Omniscience into the battlefield. My opponent do not have the priority to cast naturalize on it before my next action; however if he has a creature that is capable of respond to enchantments coming to battlefield (for example, "whenever enchantment ETB, you may gain 4 life"), he may put this triggered ability onto the stack. In this case, if the ability resolves, he still does not have the priority because A. he didn't cast a spell, and B. he didn't resolve a spell.

    I now cast Time Stretch, my opponent can now naturalize my Omniscience, by stack.

  • [MTG] -Ruling question about lands-?

    A couple days ago at friends' apartment, I casted an entwined Rude awakening after putting down my 8th land for the game, then attacked with 7 of the lands. My question is: was I able to attack with my 8th land since lands aren't affected by summoning sickness?

  • [MTG] -Ruling question about Zur the Enchanter EDH deck-?

    This guy posted an EDH deck tech featuring Zur the Enchanter, but his explanation about being able to put more enchantments on zur after he is enchanted with diplomatic immunity at 4:28 doesn't make sense to me. What does it mean when he says "it's past that part of the stack"?

    I want to know what actually happens when zur attacks the first time while enchanted with diplomatic immunity, and how the effect goes around the enchantment.

  • Is this local car shop taking advantage of me?

    Hi there, I'm in a situation where I don't know if my local car shop is taking advantage of the fact that I don't much about cars.

    It all began last month when "engine needs service soon" light came on, so I took it to a car shop. The dude who worked there said he needs to order a part no longer found from dealers because it's old and they don't have it. A couple of weeks later when I went back to have the part installed, he told me that there is another part he needs to order in order to fix my car, and it also can't be found from local auto dealers. 5 days ago I went back to have the second part fixed, the shop owner said "jokingly" that the light can come back on anytime for all he knows.

    And he is right.

    It has only been 5 days since my last visit and my "engine needs service" light is now back on. I'm loosing confident in this car shop, and even though I don't like to overthink about it, the problem obviously isn't getting solved right.

    Do you think this car shop is taking advantage of me? What would you do in a situation like this? And how would you go about doing what you would do? Please help me out. Thank you.

  • [MTG] -How good is force spike-?

    Today I stopped by a local game shop to look for a few cards for my EDH, and while pondering through the commons I came across a card called force spike.

    It seems really sweet in a fast format like legacy or vintage, when forces cost so much now days.

    But how good is it really?

    Was there any tourny champions' decklists that had this in main?

  • [MTG] -What is your favorite card?-?

    With magic cards, the word amazing has many meanings: some cards are crazy powerful, others very unique, then there are some simple cards with amazing artworks, or the ones that rubs you just the right way.

    One of my favorite cards is Wolfir Silverheart. It feels so right to cast, makes its friends much stronger, and has an amazing artwork.

    What is yours?

  • [MTG] -Ruling Question about SoulBond-?

    Soulbond (You may pair this creature with another unpaired creature when either enters the battlefield. They remain paired for as long as you control both of them.)

    Let's assume my opponent have a guy (A) with this ability, and he just casted a guy (B) without this ability and it ETB.

    Is this a triggered ability?

    If my opponent chooses to soulbond (A) and (B), can I respond to it at instant speed using the stack?
