That would be pretty significant rules change, then, from what I know. My understanding is that abilities go on the stack and aren't removed simply because the associated permanent is destroyed. If this interpretation were true you could destroy a prodigal pyromancer in response to its tap effect and stop it from dealing 1 damage, but as far as I know, it doesn't work that way.
I've thought it through, and I realize that the key is equipped creature gains hexproof until end of turn. The activated ability goes on the stack without a target, since the ability does not say "target". When the ability resolves, it looks for "equipped creature" to give hexproof. Since the ring is now in the graveyard, "equipped creature" is null, causing the ability to fail. Normally targets are remembered on the stack and are set at declaration, but this ability is considered untargeted since equipped is evaluated on resolution, not declaration like targets. (IMO this is confusing and should be changed). On the other hand, cards that move equipment at instant speed can completely change "equipped creature" before the effect resolves. Like I activate my ring, then it gets moved to another creature in response, now they get the effect when it resolves.
Good to know. I didn't even realize I could take cards out of my deck! Any sites out yet with optimal deck builds or something like that?
Play with liliana deck. She has a monster which add defender to target creature.. U must have mana cards + instant and socrecry which kills early creature till u get this monster which has 3/6 and once per turn it adds a defender ability to these creatures making them useless and can't attack, then with any of flying cards in lilianas black deck u can easily kill him. But to do that u must have this monster from early start and mana cards played each turn
Thanks for the tip. The hydra encounter is the only one I hadn't finished and it was driving me nuts. I focused on using Jace's deck and got it after a few more tries.
Every word count as somebody else says. So yes, you are right ... Even if instant dealing damage 2 did not kill them,I needed at least 4.
I bought an ipad 3 today and transferred my ipad 2 contents, including magic 2013. I tried to go into multiplayer and it wants me to pay $9.99 again! Yet, all my decks are unlocked (from my original $10 purchase) and my white deck has all 30 cards unlocked like it was on my ipad 2. Can someone explain this?
As said previously, one very good deck against this is the Krenko monored. The Liliana's deck is good but it's too absurd and time requiring to fix your own strategy on a single specific card. Better to start with a fast aggro deck, provided you doublecheck your starting hand for a good performing start. Basically, with Krenko's deck you will start dealing damage way much before opponent and you can continue to hurt him until he's plain dead before any hydra will begin to grow up 10/10.
weird, 'cos I was playing with a deck that had exactly 60 cards, and all cards in the deck were unlocked...
Is there no ranking system for multiplayer? After playing the campaign, I thought I'd try multiplayer. Worst experience imagineable! I feel like I'm playing against seasoned veterans. It would be nice to play against people on my own level, so, you know, it's at least somewhat competitive.
Yeah I was thinking this too, feel free to add me to GC if yu want to play, i'm not very good too! I have only played online a couple of times, both times my opponents were rage quitters.... this was one of the issues with Shadow Era in it's early days. Wizards really need to add some kind of penalty for this, otherwise you always end up playing AI and the leaderboards are meaningless.
I used Krenka, but I think there was a bug somehow in that particular game I played. The encounter only played one land and on every turn discarded a hydra. Not sure what happened there....so I won naturally. I've got another question. Every time I play a boss the intro shows the boss card. Do all the bosses inherently have those skills listed in those cards? What do the numbers on the skills mean? Like an example would be it will say -1 there's a skill, +1 another skill, +6 another skill...
I think the card image is just to show off what the real card is like and has no effect on the game here.
Thanks...one more question, how do I cancel creature attacks? I drag my arrow to my opponent and then decide otherwise. Sometimes it works if I drag my card back to my side, sometimes it doesn't work. Is it a bug?
You can tap to select for attacking instead of dragging the arrow. Which means you can also tap to deselect. That would be the easier option. Does anyone else have huge crashing issue in PlaneChase? More like PlaneCrash! lolamirite. On an iPad 1.
Yeah, with the iPad 1, four player planeschase games crash every time. We're hoping for an update that adds an option to turn off the fireworks effects, as this seems to be when the game crashes every time. You can still play a planeschase game, just not four player. Go into custom games and make a two player one. Works jsut fine this way. It's not as crazy with just two, but at least you can get a taste of that mode.
Your example is very strange, seeing as you cannot equip the Ring in response to anything. Equip only works any time you may play a sorcery, i.e. on your turn, when the stack is empty and you have priority. And it was explained on top of that, "equipped creature gains hexproof". If the equipment is destroyed, the creature is no longer equipped. If you could actually recreate your situation above, the effect of equipping would still happen, but the effect immediately is null since the creature is no longer the "equipped creature"
This is so not true. Modern Magic has generally the most precise ruling on the cards. Sometimes to a fault. I've played Magic since 3rd edition, and the card rulings have become ULTRA precise. And my history with the game has influenced me to become as precise when communicating. But like I said, there have been many modern cards which are confusing because of the way they want to precisely word them. Fog Bank is not one of those.
