General Magic / Re: Hexproof against cards which states "each creature"

« en: Agosto 07, 2015, 04:36:59 pm »

That's true. When it's 'each creature', Hexproof does not work. Since Hexproof only works for spells which target. So if someone targets your Hexproof creature in particular, the target spell won't work. If someone casts Judgment Day, for example, your creature is not targeted in particular, so it will die.

Source: I play a Hexproof Aura deck, I should know

I'm not sure I agree with that. Even if it says "each creature" that is still targeting creatures in a broad sense. Is there an official decision anywhere in the MTG Rules? I would rule against Wildfire affecting that particular creature with Hexproof...

You would be wrong. To start, Wildfire doesn't target; do not use the word target when discussing the damage it does. Similar for Anger of the Gods or Chandra's Ignition. The effect goes through each permanent on the battlefield, and asks "is this a creature?" If yes, they do damage.

The text for Hexproof:
702.11. Hexproof
702.11a Hexproof is a static ability.
702.11b "Hexproof" on a permanent means "This permanent can't be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control."
702.11c "Hexproof" on a player means "You can't be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control."
702.11d Multiple instances of hexproof on the same permanent or player are redundant.

The important part is that it can't be targeted; Wildfire doesn't target.

I think it is a game of semantics at that point. You would need to insert some word such as "specifically" to the card's text for it to be applied that way. Otherwise, targeting is targeting no matter how broad or narrow the scope is.

General Magic / Re: Concerning the Stack and Instant/Sorcery

First up: Say I cast Lightning bolt, then Reverberate it, then Twincast the Reverberate. Can I then go and Reverberate the Twincast and keep doing that until I want to stop, then use all the stacked up Reverberates and Twincasts to copy the original Lightning Bolt for a lot of damage?

Second: I cast a card, then my opponent casts Cancel. I copy his Cancel with a Reverberate or Twincast and Cancel his Cancel, then there is no Cancel to copy and my Cancel doesn't exist, therefore his Cancel would not be cancelled and could be cast for me to copy, etc. In my mind its a paradox.

Let me know what you think.

~Lou

My only question would be, when you play Reverberate, would Firebolt not have dissolved from the stack by that time? If Firebolt had already dissolved, I don't think it would be a legitimate target and so the Twincast wouldn't achieve the effect you are looking for. But that's my confused view of the matter.

General Magic / Re: Favorite Color to play

« en: Agosto 05, 2015, 10:43:59 pm »

Pretty much any deck I run will have either red or blue in it.

I like red's ability to put the pressure on and remove threats. Creatures, burn spells, and plenty of speed.

Blue has access to great fliers and always helps play a solid support role via card draw, counter spells, evasion, and bump spells.

Very well said. With red and blue spells, there is a certain unpredictability, a certain volatility -- more so than with some of the other colors -- that makes it more rewarding when you are victorious. Dare I say, there is more skill required?
