Zuberas Galore
09.24.04
Questions: 8
Q: For the card Devouring
Greed, if I sacrifice some Dripping-Tongue Zuberas as
part of the cost of the card, can I also sacrifice the
spirit tokens created when the Zuberas go to the
graveyard as part of the cost for the Greed as well or
do they come into play too late?
A: They come into play too
late. The creation of the Spirits by Dripping-Tongue
Zubera is a normal triggered ability, and needs to go
on the stack and resolve before you get them. By the
time the triggered ability resolves, it is way too
late.

Q: For the card Dripping-Tongue Zubera, if I were to sacrifice 3 of them in play at once for some effect, would I be able to decide the order in which they go to the graveyard, put their abilities on the stack separately and end up with 6 spirit tokens, or would I only get 3 since they all go to the graveyard at the same time? -Robert H.
A: Neither. It doesn't
matter what order you put them on the stack ... when
each ability resolves, it counts the number of Zuberas
that have gone to the graveyard this turn. (Assuming
no other Zuberas have gone to the graveyard this turn
by the time the triggered ability resolves,) Each
triggered ability will see that 3 Zuberas have gone to
the graveyard, so you will get 3 Spirits for each
ability, for a total of 9 spirits.

Q: How do you use Early
Frost effectively?
-Brian
A: Typically, the best
times to play Early Frost would either be during your
opponent's upkeep step, or during his end step. You
cast it during his upkeep to prevent him from being
able to cast sorceries or permanents. You cast it
during his end step to stop counterspells from being
played on your turn.

Q: If Bushi Tenderfoot is
blocked by a larger or smaller creature does it flip?
A: Bushi's Flip ability is
a normal triggered ability. Therefore, unless his
toughness is boosted or he is given first (or double)
strike, there is no way for him to do damage in combat
and flip. He'll die before he flips.
---
Q: Does Heartbeat of Spring work with Gaea's Cradle and other cards like it? -James R.
A: Yes. Anytime ANY land
taps for mana, you get to add one more mana of any of
the types that land produced to your mana pool.
Heartbeat of Spring
2G Enchantment Whenever a player taps a land for mana, that player adds one mana of that type to his or her mana pool.

Q: If I have taken control
of a Festering Goblin with Vedalken Shackles, I attack
and the goblin is blocked and goes to the graveyard.
He still owns the creature
so it goes to his graveyard, but who gets to give a
creature -1/-1?
-Chad
A: You do. You controlled
the creature when it went to the graveyard, so you
control the triggered ability.
---
Q: Can a mistform become a
Locus to add 1 extra mana for Cloudpost?
A: No. Locus is not a
creature type.
---
Q: Can mistforms become
multiple types (like Zombie Cleric, Elf Goblin, Wizard
Beast, etc) for 1 land?
A: No. A means one.
therefore, you choose ONE creature type.
Each time the ability
resolves, it overwrites all previous types.
If you play the ability
multiple times, the mistform will be the creature type
last chosen and only that type.
See you Tuesday.
