Questions: 12 Mis-Possession
Q: If I enchant my
opponent's creature with an Oni Possession and he has
one creature in play, does he sacrifice it at the
beginning of his upkeep?
A: Um, no. It's your Oni Possession. You are the one that has to sacrifice creatures to it.
---
Q: What is the order of
the beginning phases? (upkeep, untap, draw?)
-Julian
A: 300.1. A turn consists
of five phases, in this order: beginning, precombat
main, combat, postcombat main, and end. Each of these
phases takes place every turn, even if nothing happens
during the phase. The beginning, combat, and end
phases are further broken down into steps, which
proceed in order.
301.1. The beginning phase
consists of three steps, in this order: untap, upkeep,
and draw.
306.1. The combat phase
has five steps, which proceed in order: beginning of
combat, declare attackers, declare blockers, combat
damage, and end of combat. The declare blockers and
combat damage steps are skipped if no creatures are
declared as attackers (see rule 308.4). There are two
combat damage steps if any attacking or blocking
creature has first strike (see rule 502.2) or double
strike (see rule 502.28).
312.1. The end phase
consists of two steps: end of turn and cleanup.

Q: If you have a Kiki-Jiki
out in play, and you make Forbidden Orchard a creature
until the end of turn, as long as you didn't use
Kiki-Jiki before, you could make Forbidden Orchard
tokens?
-Ixidor
A: Yes. (only one, though,
unless you somehow manage to untap Kiki-Jiki.)

Q: What happens if an
infinite loop starts (for example, Kiku, Nights Flower
targeting Tephraderm with a Shield of Kaldra
equipped)? Will the Tephraderm whack itself forever,
or is there some rule that stops this?
A: This is not an infinite
loop. The Tephraderm will hit itself once. This will
create 2 triggers - (a) Tephraderm's "damage who
damaged me" trigger, and (b) Sword of Kaldra's remove
from game trigger. The player who controls Tephraderm
controls both, so that person chooses how the triggers
go on the stack.
If that person puts (b) on
the stack first, then (a), the Tephraderm will be
removed from the game, and then the other trigger will
fail to do anything (since the Tephraderm's gone).
If the person puts (a)
then (b), Then when (b) resolves, the Tephraderm will
have 18 damage on it. This is greater than its 10
toughness, so it will be put into the graveyard.
You will have another set
of (a) and (b) triggers, but no matter how you order
them, the new triggers and the first (a) trigger will
fail to do anything, since the Tephraderm is no longer
in play.

Q: Does Samurai of the Pale Curtain let me destroy "Darksteel" permanents like Colossus, or is Colossus the same old unkillable huge hunk of black metal (as opposed to just a huge hunk of black metal?) -Richard S.
A: Permanents have to go
to the graveyard to be affected by Samurai of the Pale
Curtain.
INDESTRUCTIBLE CREATURES
CAN'T BE DESTROYED. EVER.
So, the Darksteel
permanents hit by the destroy effect will have
absolutely nothing happen to them, because they can't
be destroyed. Since they are not going to the
graveyard, Samurai of the Pale Curtain does absolutely
nothing to them.

Q: A creature shares its
creature type with itself and its colors with itself
therefore Konda's Banner will give a legendary red
goblin +2/+2. But what happens If I equip say one of
the Invasion dragons (Dromar), will it get +4/+4
because it is creature type dragon and it has 3
colors?
A: No. It gets one +1/+1
bonus for sharing a color, no matter the number of
colors it shares. (ChK FAQ)
Q: What if I equip a
legendary black rat samurai? Will it be +3/+3 because
it has two subtypes and one color?
A: No. It gets one +1/+1
bonus for sharing a creature type, no matter the
number of creature types it shares. (ChK FAQ)
---
Q: Finally, will other
creatures that also share 2 subtypes with the equipped
legend and a color get +3/+3?
-Ricardo
A: No. Creatures will
receive no more than one +1/+1 bonus from each ability
that Konda's Banner has, even if they share multiple
things of that ability.
---
Q: If a Death Cloud is
resolving, can you play any spell or activated
ability?
A:
Mantra 1...
---
Q: And do triggers still
go into effect, like Mortuary when your creature dies?
A: Yes. The triggers will
go on the stack when the spell that created the
trigger has finished resolving.
---
Q: how do creatures work
on the stack? For example: my opponent has a vedalken
Orrery in play. I play a Siege Gang Commander, and
then he plays a Wrath of God. which one would resolve
first?
A: No matter how the
spells got on the stack, spells on the stack resolve
in a last in, first out order. So if he plays the
Wrath in response to the Siege Gang, the Wrath will
resolve first. (It would be better for him to wait for
the Siege Gang to resolve [as well as probably let the
token creation resolve] before he plays the Wrath.)
---
Q: Can you use Arc
Slogger's ability 100 times to do 200 damage?
A: If you have 1000 or
more cards in your library (and 100 red mana), yes.
However, if you do not
have 1000 cards in your library, then you will not be
able to play Arc Slogger's ability 100 times. Removing
10 cards from your library is a cost of playing Arc
Slogger's ability.
See Mantra 11.
---
Q: If someone plays a
Wrath of God, does each creature die separately or at
the same time? and do they hit the graveyard at the
same time?
-Omary
A: They all die and hit
the graveyard at the same time. The person whose
graveyard the creatures are entering chooses the order
they end up in the graveyard.
See you Friday.
