Title: Copying Splice
Questions: 5 1.11.05
---
Q: If you Splice Onto
Arcane and then copy the original spell (e.g.
Kodama's Reach with a spliced Glacial Ray, copied by
Uyo, Silent Prophet), are spliced spells copied as
well? From my understanding of the rules spliced
spells copy their text onto the base spell, so if
that base spell is copied the additions should be
copied along with it.
-The Artificer
A: Splice puts the text
of the spliced card directly onto the spell, and
makes it as if the spliced portion was printed on
the card. So if you Uyo a spell that has spliced
portions added on, you will get the entire spell,
including the spliced portions.
(This is not optional.
You can not choose to "ignore" the spliced portion
when you copy the spell.)

Q: My friend has a Mogg
Sentry and 2 Raging Goblins in play and attacks with
the Raging Goblins... the person he plays had a Mogg
Fanatic and blocked 1 of the goblins that attacked.
He said that he then sacs it to deal 1 damage to the
other Raging Goblin... would that prevent all the
damage?
-Vaibhav S.
A: Yes, but the Raging
Goblin that was blocked will still live, since
damage wasn't yet put on the stack.
(If the controller of
the Fanatic really wanted, he could wait until
damage was on the stack, and then sacrifice the
Fanatic to kill the other Raging Goblin. He would
take 1 damage in this scenario, but both Raging
Goblins would then end up dead.)

Q: I have Salvaging
Station and March of the Machines in play. If I tap
Salvaging Station to return an Aether Spellbomb from
my graveyard to play, will this cause the Station to
untap, or can I not even target the Spellbomb in the
first place?
-BMoor
A: ...? Salvaging
Station only untaps when a creature goes to the
graveyard from play, not when a creature comes into
play.
(Salvaging Station will
untap if the Spellbomb goes to the grave with March
in play, as the Spellbomb is a creature when it goes
to the grave (where it stops being a creature).)
---
Q: If you have a
creature in play that is attacking and has the
ability to gain life for the damage it deals
(Rakavolver with kicker); and the defender has a
creature with protection from red that prevents the
damage, is the life giving ability of Rakavolver
still satisfied? meaning is the damage dealt and you
gain the life but it does nothing to the defending
creature?
-Mike
A: Protection prevents
the damage. Prevented damage is never dealt, so
things that trigger on damage being dealt won't
trigger if the damage is prevented.
So you won't gain the
life.

Q: My friend plays with
a sliver deck and brings out Ward Sliver and he
gives all his Slivers protection from the color that
I am playing with, I was wondering if his slivers
could be destroyed with Obliterate, Wrath of God or
any other such destroying card even if he has
protection from that color.
-Schismroter
See you Friday.
