[@Macattack1023]

Your opponents must not have played Yarok much lol they let you use and abuse them. Soon as you searched for that Cyclonic rift they should have all gone after you non stop. I also wanted to mention a super spicy play with Venser while Yarok is out is bouncing venser back to your hand and bouncing whatever spell or permanent as well. It gets pretty devastating especially if you manage to get a Muse out.

[@slavetophage1688]

Island, Panharmonicon, then Avenger...then the 0/2s get wiped by Elish Norn.... had they been 3/4's. But that you know, happens to the best of us still.

[@acedio]

I believe the Spark Double comes in as a full fledged Avenger of Zendikar. The one on the battlefield is a frog, but the effect of Polymorphist's Jest is not copyable. Clones enter as a copy of the actual card, modulo copy effects.

[@simonkerstgens6888]

Nope spark doubble will come in as an ability less frog but with an additional +1+1 counter.

[@NMS127]

Acedio is correct. There are some other rare things that affect copiable values, but continuous effects are not copiable. 706.2. When copying an object, the copy acquires the copiable values of the original object's characteristics and, for an object on the stack, choices made when casting or activating it (mode, targets, the value of X, whether it was kicked, how it will affect multiple targets, and so on). The "copiable values" are the values derived from the text printed on the object (that text being name, mana cost, color indicator, card type, subtype, supertype, rules text, power, toughness, and/or loyalty), as modified by other copy effects, by its face-down status, and by "as . . . enters the battlefield" and "as . . . is turned face up" abilities that set power and toughness (and may also set additional characteristics). Other effects (including type-changing and text-changing effects), status, and counters are not copied.

[@lokiarn15]

The Spark Double would still enter as a cooy of a regular Avenger of Zendikar. Effects that modify a creature are not copiable values, therefore he should have gotten the triggers

[@slavetophage1688]

A 1/1 no ability creature named Avenger of Zendikar, but ya.

[@DerLhurgoyf]

@@slavetophage1688 That's incorrect. The copy still copies the original text and abilities and not any temporary status effects. For the same reason a clone doesn't enter pumped if he copies an equipped creatures. Copy always takes the original card.

[@simonkerstgens6888]

@@DerLhurgoyf no that is incorrect. At this Moment the copy is a frog with 1/1 and no abilitys. It is not boostet or anything it is Morphed therefor spark doubble enters as a 2/2 frog alles Avengers of zendikar with no abilitys

[@TheJustist]

@@simonkerstgens6888 as from the gatherer: 5/3/2019 Spark Double copies exactly what was printed on the original permanent (unless that permanent is copying something else or is a token; see below). It doesn’t copy whether that permanent is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or any Auras and Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, or so on.

[@DarkEinherjar]

About Urborg + Fountain: Fountain makes the flooded lands islands (which removes their original abilities), and Urborg turns them into swamps in addition to that. They'll tap for both U and B.

[@NMS127]

I don't think there's a dependency here, so actually it will depend on timestamp order. Lands that became Islands before Urborg entered will be Island Swamps, but lands that became Islands after will just be Islands.

[@Kazz1187]

I love the quotes you just add in from the gameplay, helps set the mood for the people at the table

[@DarkEinherjar]

About exiling (and, to an extent, destroying): In order for an object to be exiled, it only has to be hit by an effect that says "exile". That's it. It doesn't matter if some replacement effect sends the object to another zone (like with commanders): the object will still be counted as "exiled" for all effects that care about it. Therefore, if you exile a commander with Winds of Abandon, its controller may search for a basic land even if the commander returns to the command zone. Destruction works in a similar way: if you cast Bane of Progress with Rest in Peace on the battlefield, all artifacts and enchantments will go to the exile instead of their owners' graveyards, but they'll still count as "destroyed", and thus Bane of Progress will get the +1/+1 counters.

[@marpj6138]

Just to add - Those differ from "Die" triggers since it look at where the creature went instead of what happened with it. Reason that if the Commander go to the zone it will not trigger any Dies effect

[@NMS127]

I guess this is consistent, but I can't find any rule that spells it out. And it leads to a different result from the definition of "exile" and the linked ability rules that apply to cards like Oblivion Ring. But I guess those rules don't apply to effects that don't specify "exiled cards"? Really, I think there should be a rule clarifying cases like this. 406.2. To exile an object is to put it into the exile zone from whatever zone it's currently in. An exiled card is a card that's been put into the exile zone.

[@Blackvolttage]

Nothing is destroyed or exiled in either these cases, still the end result is correct, you get lands and you get the counters. Both the send to Command Zone and RIP are replacement effects. A replacement effect should be read as if it were the text of the card or the apropriate ruling. This means that the controler of a commander hit by winds or path may chose to "rewrite" the efect as: Send to command zone, fetch land. Likewise, bane with RIP will read "for each card exiled this way, +1/+1 counter" etc. Why this matter? Dies (put from the field to the gy) effects wont trigger in both cases, and for the commander, you dont need to chose if you want to send then to the cz if they are hit with deputy of detention, for example (you send to CZ and you may cast it as usual or remove the deputy to bring the general back, what isnt the case with the old wording, such as in sphere of detention)

[@gdiridium5525]

Seems pretty obvious. Misplays like that are why it becomes increasingly more difficult to continue watching this channel.

I love EDH but misplays ruin the game.

[@charlesmaillho367]

@@TheKamikozi321 I will film myself purposely making simple mistakes just to appease you. It's MTG where you can check gatherer for easy rulings on how card mechanics work. If you want to see mistakes then, by all means, I'll film the worst game you've ever seen. But if you want to actually play magic then it's important to read the cards and know how they work, not miss triggers, and make sure you understand player interaction properly. If not, then I don't know what game you're playing because it certainly isn't magic. I'm a casual player as well but when a missed trigger causes the table to have to back the game up or causes the player to win/lose, it leaves a bad air about the game. All I'm saying is that easy things shouldn't be missed even in the casual format. If you think that isn't an issue then we clearly don't see eye to eye.

Actually, no. In order to be exiled, an object just has to be hit by an effect that says "exile". It doesn't matter if it ends up in another zone.
