The Slide Cycle Short Answer: -Once a permanent's ability has been placed on the stack, doing anything to that permanent will not affect the ability. Abilities on the stack exist independently of the permanents that generated them. --- Q: First of all, if I have 2 Astral Slides out, and I cycle 1 card, can I remove 2 creatures until end of turn? Basically, do multiple Slides stack? -Pat A: Yes, and yes. --- Q: If I cycle Slice and Dice, and elect to have it do 1 damage to all creatures, can I stack the Astral Slide effect so that I remove my 1-toughness creature before the Slice and Dice damage resolves? A: Yes. You'll want to stack the Slide effect on top of the damage from the Slice and Dice to accomplish this. --- Q: Also, when does the card draw for the cycling happen in this sequence - i.e., would I be able to use that card, if it is an instant or cycler, at any point during the resolution of these effects? -Boris P. A: The card draw is always on the bottom of the stack. So you won't get the card until the other abilities resolve. --- Q: My Friend had a Wild Mongrel, and a Spirit Cairn on the table, with a Plains free. I had an Engineered Plague naming Spirit(to destroy any tokens). I then cast Chainer's Edict, obviously hell have to sac the Mongrel. He then discards a card, taps the plains, and puts into play a token. I state that the token automatically dies as soon as it is put into play, but he says he can use it as the Sacrifice to Chainer’s Edict. Who’s right? -Rob A: You are. The Spirit will die immediately, long before the resolution of the Edict. --- Correction: From last Thursday's (17 April) column: >>>Q: If I play an Animate land on one of my opponents swamps turning it in to a 3/3 creature, then Eradicate it do they remove all swamps from play, there decks and in their hands from play? -Chris G. A: Yes. <<< Correction: No/Yes/Yes. Eradicate doesn't affect multiples in play. Also, the player casting the Eradicate does the searching. -Kidcarls See you Monday. -Bill Guerin Ask Judge Bill A Question Here DCI Level 2 Judge
