Title: Last questions
of 2004
Questions: 5 12-31-2004

Q: I am playing a all
green elf deck against a sliver artifact deck. I
powered a Heedless One up to 49/49 and attacked with
him. he blocked with a 3/4 sliver with protection
from green. im wondering if because I did no damage
to the sliver because of protection from green if my
heedless on does full damage to him or if it stops
right at the sliver.
A: Let's read the
Mantras please ..
5. When assigning
trample, look only at the toughness of the blocking
creatures. Assign damage so that they would have
that much damage on them, and then you can assign
the other damage to your opponent.
So you have to assign 4
to the sliver, and can assign the other 46 damage to
him or the sliver in any combination.

Q: A few turns later he put out a 9/9 creature that if it deals combat damage to me I lose the game and he banded it to a sliver to make it have protection from green, give it flying, and to get it stronger and he attacks with it because it is the second turn that it has been out of the field. I have a Moment's Peace in my graveyard and I pay its flashback cost to play it again and remove it from the game to stop his creature from doing damage to me. I am wondering if my Moments Peace worked on it because it had protection from green?
-Chris C.
A: Let's see:
Does the Moment's Peace
do Damage? No.
Is it Enchantment or Equipment? No. Does it Block? Not applicable. Is it Targeted? Mantra 3.
Therefore, Moment's
Peace will prevent the combat damage, and you won't
lose the game.

Q: Can a Beloved
Chaplain be Cloned? He’s protected from creatures,
but my opponent believes that the Clone “as it comes
into play” is not yet a creature, and doesn’t do any
targeting.
-Eric
A: Let's go through the
DEBT test again ..
Does Clone's ability do
Damage? No.
Is it Enchantment or Equipment? No. Does it Block? Not applicable. Is it Targeted? Mantra 3.
Therefore, you can Clone
the Beloved Chaplain.

Q: I'm a newbie at magic
and my friend that I always play against says that
flying creatures can block any creature, flying or
not. I say that flying only can block flying. Which
one of us is right?
-Tommy N.
A: 502.4b A creature
with flying can’t be blocked by creatures without
flying. A creature with flying can block a creature
with or without flying.

Q: I read your article
that you posted on Pojo on 12/20/04. The last
question you answered was about which cards were
legal for tournament play. When I was reading the
ruling, something refreshed my mind. Someone
recently told me that I couldn't play with
promotional cards (Cards with "DCI" on them) in a
tournament. I couldn't play with an Incinerate that
I owned since it was a promotional one. Is this
true? The card does make all the requirements that
you described in your article (Black bordered,
printed in IA, proper back) but the DCI foil. Help
me out here.
-Kurt
A: The DCI Floor Rules
have the following to say:
51. Previous Printings
of Current Cards
Players may include
cards from previous printings if they appear in
current card sets allowed in Constructed play by the
appropriate game’s DCI Floor Rules (as long as they
do not have features that create “marked” cards.
I would rule that
promotional cards fall under the "previous
printings" rule.
See you in 2005.
