Re: Splice interactions

If you copy the spell, you copy any text added via Splice as well.

Once it leaves the stack though, it is a new object. It won't retain any added text in the yard which means if it is cast again, it is a "fresh" spell. If you want the spliced text, you need to splice onto it again

Re: Are Players a Source They Control?

This is the rule for sources of abilities: 113.7. The source of an ability is the object that generated it. The source of an activated ability on the stack is the object whose ability was activated. The source of a triggered ability (other than a delayed triggered ability) on the stack, or one that ...

Re: Replacement Effects, Who Has Control

Since "random internet person said it works this way" isn't the greatest argument, here is the main rule for this interaction: 616.1. If two or more replacement and/or prevention effects are attempting to modify the way an event affects an object or player, the affected object's controller...

Re: Replacement Effects, Who Has Control

You, as the affected player (or, if targeting a permanent, the controller of the affected object) get to choose the relative order of the replacement effects. So, you can apply Mechanized Warfare last to ensure the 1 is doubled to 2 and then Warfare adds one to that to get to 3. You could do it the ...

Re: Rules for dinosaurs

1) It will be a 6/6. Because the copy effect sets the Power and/or Toughness, the Characteristic Defining Ability of the Scavenger isn't even copied at all. See 707.9d: 707.9d. When applying a copy effect that doesn't copy a certain characteristic, retains one or more original values for a certain c...

Re: Where art thou Colossi?

The Colossus is shuffled in at the same time as the other cards are milled. Yes, there is a dexterity component to it that the person playing will need to physically set aside Colossus so they can shuffle it back in but the in game action is that you milled 5 cards at one time and instead of one of ...

Re: Can Only attack alone plus goad.

In general, you need to obey as many requirements as possible without breaking any restrictions. So, you will just choose one of them to attack since they can only attack alone. You do need to attack with at least one, but you won't be able to attack with both due to their own restriction. Note that...

Re: Where art thou Colossi?

It is effectively the second option. Mill, as opposed to drawing cards, is one complete action. So, if Tome Scour is cast (ignoring the fact that it is a Sorcery; I just wanted a mill card referenced), that is one event of "Mill 5 cards". So, the entire event takes place, as modified by th...

Re: Block any number and banding

Unless I am misunderstanding what you are trying to do, there is no special interaction here. You use Avatar of Hope to block 5 creatures. You then use the Banding creature to block one of the same creatures as the Avatar. For that attacking creature, and that creature only (since it is the only one...

Re: Indominus Rex and Clones

You will be able to do both effects. As the Clone enters, you do its own Replacement Effect. Once that applies, the game then checks to see if any other Replacement Effects should apply. And there is: Rex's own effect so you will get to do that effect now. 616.1c. If any of the replacement and/or pr...

@Mookie I understand all of that quite well, I'm just saying that if the technology exists for Kardur to work the way he does, I see no reason it couldn't work for an instant version of Dress Down. If Kardur was worded "until your next turn, your opponents must attack with all their creatures....
