<p>so i have my sigarda of kill u quick totem armored up (lets say snake armor coz i need to win with as many cool points as possible) & an oblivion stone goes off, is the totem armor destroyed b4 i can save sigarda or does it replace the destroy effect first?</p>
<p></p>
<p>does it make any difference who the active player is?</p>
<p></p>
<p>my guess is both are destroyed but i am sure there is some cool rules explanation to explain why.</p>

What are the rules on notes in tournaments? <div><br></br></div>
<div>Example 1: Can I bring along a few hand written notes to a tournament, things like potential cards to use from my sideboard against certain decks, or a list of cards to think about naming with a Pithing Needle. </div>

my opponent has that black specter dude who gets +3 +3 if you have no cards in hand. i have no cards in hand but i do have a welkin tern and reckless scholar. if i block the specter with the tern doing two damage, let the damage resolve, then activate my scholar does the specter die - do i ever actually have a card in my hand during the 'draw and discard' process?

How does one use this thing? Is it literally only when you know that you will want to cast the card you are about to draw? You can't announce that you are casting a spell in your hand, then sac the LED to pay for it?

I know Sygg, River Guide can't give a pro-White guy pro-anything.<br />
<br />
Can a Bant Battlemage give a pro-White guy Trample?<br />
<br />
That is, is the color of the thing doing the targeting determined by the card, or the ability?

<i>702.11<br />
This is intimidate, an evergreen keyword that doesn't quite exist yet. A creature with intimidate can't be blocked except by artifact creatures and/or creatures that share a color with it. It's coming soon, so rather than renumber everything in a few months, it was added in early. (It essentially takes the place of fear, which will remain in place but won't appear on new cards.)<br />

My board: Knight-Captain of Eos, 2 Soldier Tokens<br />
<br />
His board: Algae Gharial with 2 counters, Sprouting Thrinax<br />
<br />
My opponent casts Jund Charm. I have Volcanic Fallout in hand and the mana up to cast it.<br />
<br />
Is there any way to make sure the Gharial dies? Either way, what's the best play?

If I'm playing 2hg and I cast fortify, does it do what it says on the card or something else?
