Blinking Nexus
9.7.04
Questions: 4
Q: My opponent attacks
with a vanilla 4/4 creature, I turn my Blinkmoth Nexus
into a 1/1 creature to chump block. My opponent plays
Echoing Decay on my Nexus to destroy it.
Do I still take 4 damage?
-zhouman003
A: Yes. After you play the
Nexus's ability, and it turns into a creature, both
players must pass in succession on an empty stack to
send it to declaring blockers - simply having an empty
stack does not send it to the declare blockers step.
Therefore, there will be a
time when the Nexus is a creature and can be gotten
rid of before blockers are declared. Assuming your
opponent plays the Echoing Decay then, the Nexus will
never be able to block before it dies.
Therefore, assuming you
have no more available blockers, you will be taking 4
from the unblocked creature.

Q: When do you imprint a
card on Chrome Mox?
-Gobi
Read the imprint on Chrome
Mox ...
"Imprint -- When
Chrome Mox comes into play, you may remove a
nonartifact, nonland card in your hand from the game.
(The removed card is imprinted on this artifact.)"
Read it again.
"When Chrome Mox comes
into play, ..."
This means it already has
to be in play before you choose a card to imprint. So
if the Chrome Mox is countered, you don't lose a card.

Q: Does the Crystalline
Sliver prevent other sliver abilities from being
granted such as Crypt Sliver and Magma Sliver?
-Rich
A: No. The creatures will
still have the ability.
HOWEVER, the ability is
quite useless, since you can't target the slivers.
Since the abilities granted by Crypt Sliver and Magma
Sliver both have "TARGET" on them, you won't be able
to play them, since slivers can't be targeted.

Q: If before the end of
Celestial Convergence, if I have decked myself, but
retains the most life, and Celestial Convergence ends,
do I still win?
-LordRelicHunter
A: This isn't possible.
Either Celestial Convergence doesn't have any counters
on it, or you've just been required to draw a card and
are unable to.
If you have 0 cards in
your library at the start of your turn, and one
counter on Celestial Convergence, you will win,
because upkeep comes before draw, and you will remove
the last counter before you have to draw a card for
your turn.
See you Friday.
