Licid "End this effect" Confusion
Posted: Wed Dec 18, 2019 3:44 am
I control a Licid (let's say Tempting Licid) and have a way to untap it, such as Twiddle. I activate the Licid's ability targeting a creature, respond by untapping it with Twiddle, and activate the same ability again targeting another creature (or the same creature, it shouldn't matter in this example).
The more recent ability will resolve, turning the Licid into an aura enchanting the second target, and the second one will do the same, moving the aura to the creature I first targeted. But does the second activation create an extra instance of "pay to end this effect" that I need to pay to turn my Licid back into a creature, or does "end this effect" just mean paying once will make my Licid a creature again?
Same situation, another question: with my Licid already enchanting a creature, my opponent plays Blatant Thievery stealing my Licid. Is my opponent allowed to pay the to end the effect? Does the "you" in the last part of the rules text refer to the card's current controller, or the player who activated the ability?
