Missing Targets
Q: What happens if there
is no legal target for the "when comes into play"
ability? e.g. when I'm playing Cloudchaser Eagle (when
comes into play destroy target enchantment) and there
are no enchantments in play at the moment. Just
nothing happens or maybe i can't play it?
-Pawel K.
A: If there are no legal
targets for a creature's coming into play triggered
ability, then nothing happens. Selecting a target is a
part of the triggered ability, not the spell itself,
so you don't need a target to play the creature.

Q: Do creature tokens from
the same spell, such as One Dozen Eyes, share a same
name, so Echoing Courage could be played on one, and
all of them would have +2/+2?
-Dominic
A: Unless the spell or
ability that creates the tokens says otherwise, its
creature type is its name. So all of the 1/1s from One
Dozen Eyes have the same name.
216.1. The spell or
ability that creates the token sets both its name and
creature type at the same time. If the spell or
ability doesn’t specify the name of the token, its
name is the same as its creature type. A “Goblin
creature token,” for example, is named “Goblin” and
has the creature subtype Goblin.

Q: If a card is played
like Deconstruct or Birchlore Rangers and their
effects for adding mana are used, does the mana die at
the end of the turn and do you have a choice to take
the mana burn?
A: 300.3. When a phase
ends (but not a step), any unused mana left in a
player’s mana pool is lost. That player loses 1 life
for each one mana lost this way. This is called mana
burn.
This is not an optional
action. If you have unused mana in your pool at the
end of a phase, you will take mana burn.

Q: I have a Galina's
Knight, which has protection from red. Does that mean
if I use it to block a red creature that I can avoid
the damage it would deal or not?
-Bruce B.
A: Any damage from a red
source that would be dealt to Galina's Knight is
prevented.
See you Friday.
