Title - Vedalken Abilities
Questions: 4
---
Q: I have a Vedalken
Orrery in play. Can I use Proteus Staff's ability as
an instant ability seeing as how I can play sorcery
cards in my hand as instants?
-Cody
A: No. Orrery only
allows you to play (non-land) CARDS as instants.
Abilities on a card do not qualify, since they are
not cards.
---
Q: Can I use Stifle on a
Polluted Delta, paying one life then using the
Stifle to prevent the sac ability, so I can just
bring an Island or Swamp to play?
-Juan
A: No, for two different
reasons:
1) When you use Stifle
to counter the ability, the WHOLE ability is
countered. This means you don't get to search.
2) And besides, the
sacrifice of the Polluted Delta, is a cost, not an
effect. By the time you have priority to play the
Stifle, the Delta is long gone. If the ability is
Stifled, you don't get any of the costs back. Which
means the Delta is still in the graveyard and you
lost 1 life.

Q: If Sensei Golden-Tail
puts a second Training Counter on a creature, does
that creature have Bushido 1, Bushido 1?
-R. Arnold
A: Yes. Multiple
instances of Bushido are cumulative. If a creature
has Bushido 1 twice, then it acts a lot (but not
exactly) like if it had Bushido 2. (Bushido 1 twice
would take 2 Stifles to prevent all pumping.)
---
Q: If I attack with a
creature equipped with a Sword of Kaldra and my
opponent blocks with a Fog Bank, will the Fog Bank
be removed from the game?
-Roland V.
A: No. When damage is
prevented, it's as if the damage was never dealt.
Therefore, the Sword won't trigger.
Fog Bank
1U Creature — Wall 0/2 Defender (This creature can’t attack.) Flying Prevent all combat damage that would be dealt to and dealt by Fog Bank.
Sword of Kaldra
4 Legendary Artifact — Equipment Equipped creature gets +5/+5. Whenever equipped creature deals damage to a creature, remove that creature from the game. Equip 4 (4: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery. This card comes into play unattached and stays in play if the creature leaves play.)
See you Friday.
