Fun With Reborn Hero Q: My opponent has a Reborn Hero out, and he has threshold. I play Mutilate. Can he bring back the Reborn Hero or not? It gets a -1/-1 till end of turn for more then enough to kill it over and over, how can it come back at all? -Brandon A: When Mutilate resolves, it gives each creature that is currently in play -1/-1 until end of turn, and then is put in the graveyard. This includes the Hero, which is then put into the graveyard. This triggers its return to play ability, and the opponent pays {W}{W} to return it to play. The Hero then returns to play, and asks, "Where did everyone go?" Since Mutilate is done doing its thing, the Hero will now stay in play just fine, as it wasn't a creature in play at the time Mutilate resolved. (It is a completely different creature than the other Reborn Hero that was affected by Mutilate.) --- Q: My opponent has a Reborn Hero (and has threshold), and I play a Shade's Form on it. It then goes to the graveyard somehow. My opponent pays the {W}{W} mana cost to have it return under his control. But Shade's Form says it comes into play under my control. Who gets the Hero? A: It depends on whose turn it is. You have two triggered effects on the Hero dying: -"…{Your opponent} may pay {W}{W}. If {he
does}, return Reborn Hero to play under {his}
control." (Triggered ability on Reborn Hero) "410.3. If multiple abilities have triggered since the last time a player received priority, pseudospells controlled by the active player go on the stack first, in any order he or she chooses, then those controlled by the opponent go on the stack in any order that opponent chooses." So if your opponent is the active player, the Reborn Hero's ability will go on the stack first, followed by the Shade's Form ability. In this case, the Shade's Form ability will resolve first, giving you the Hero, then the Hero's ability will resolve, and regardless of whether your opponent pays the {W}{W}, that ability will do nothing, as it is no longer in the graveyard. On the other hand, if you are the active player, the Shade's Form ability will go on the stack first, followed by the Hero's ability. The Hero's ability resolves first, and if your opponent pays the {W}{W}, he gets it back. The ability of the Shade's Form will then do nothing, since the Hero is no longer in the graveyard. --- Q: I have a Psychatog in play. Can I sacrifice a Cephalid Coliseum to draw 3 cards, then discard them all to Psychatog before I have to discard the 3 from the Coliseum, or do I have to draw 3, then discard 3, before I can discard any cards to Psychatog? Or could I draw 3, cast a spell, such as Fact or Fiction, then discard 3, or discard to Psychatog, then have no cards to discard to the Coliseum, and say I can't discard any? -Dale A: Repeat after me: "I can't play any spells or abilities while something is resolving." Did you say it? If not, say it. If so, say it again. "I can't play any spells or abilities while something is resolving." You have to discard the 3 cards before doing anything else. --- Q: I play my turn as normal and during my end phase play Final Fortune. During my next turn I draw another Final Fortune. If I play the second one what happens? Do I lose at the end of my current turn, or the next one? -Chris Plunkett A: You lose at the end of the current turn, as the first Final Fortune's "lose at the end of that extra turn" effect is still going strong. --- Q: My opponent plays a Bloodfire Colossus and uses its ability right when it comes into play, is that legal? Shouldn't summoning sickness effect it? A: Summoning sickness only prevents creatures from doing two things: -Attacking, or Since the cost of Bloodfire Colossus's ability doesn't include "tap", you can use the ability just fine right after you have cast it. -Bill Guerin
