No, you can only sacrifice one a turn. Once you sacrifice a creature, you are ignoring the entire ability, which includes the option to sacrifice.

What about responding to the "sacrifice" ability with another sacrifice?

What if you bounce and replay Volrath's Curse on the same creature? Can you retrigger the sacrifice?

Also. If I discard cards to buyback Forbid, can Library of Leng put them on top of my library?

It's not worded as an activated ability, so I don't believe so. I'll have to double check, however.

Yes, because as far as the game knows it's a new Volrath's Curse, and yes you can put cards discarded in any way on top of your library with LIbrary of Leng.

My friend claims his Urza's Saga Dark Ritual is uncounterable. Is this true?

Twelve years ago when Saga was printed, yes. Now, no.

Okay, so me and my friends were playing yesterday and an interesting situation came up. We agreed it didn't really matter, but were curious:

I had 2 Cho Mannos in play, each with Pariah on them, and then I brought out an Empyrial Archangel. Since they all had the same ability. (Ie redirect damage) which would resolve first? If no order, then does the attacker or defender choose whom to redirect the damage to?

Posted: Mar 30 2009 12:34 pm

First of all, unless there was a Mirror Gallery in play then your Cho Mannos should have been sacrified because of the legend rule. That being said:
Anytime you would take damage, you can choose whichever one of the 3 you wanted to redirect the damage to (It is always your choice which takes the damage because you control all 3 replacement effects). However, you must redirect ALL damage to one guy If you're being hit with a Fireball for 10, you can't split it 5 to one creature and 5 to another. If you're being attacked by 20 creatures, all the damage from all 20 creatures must go to the same one of your guys. If that happened in the same turn you could choose different guys for each (20 attacking creatures hit one cho Manno and the fireball hits another), but each time you take damage it can only go to one.

Why would Saga Dark Ritual be uncounterable? Because it's a mana source? Wouldn't any idiot who has played the game in the last ten years know that mana sources aren't a spell type anymore? Or was Syd being cheeky...

Posted: Mar 30 2009 01:22 pm

Syd was being cheeky, which makes sense since he's such an ass.

Oh, and cards are totally on tomorrow, I already talked to Steve.

On a more serious note, does Burgeoning stack?

Posted: Mar 30 2009 05:07 pm

I'm pretty sure that, without exception, anytime you can ask the question "does this ability stack", the answer is yes.

Posted: Mar 30 2009 05:11 pm

Okay, I worded that completely wrong. What I mean is, is the effect cumulative? That is to say, if I have two Burgeonings out, can I play two land every time an opponent plays one?

Posted: Mar 30 2009 10:14 pm

Umm, that's exactly how I interpreted your question, so the answer is the same. If you can ask that question, the answer is yes. For example "Does lifelink/burgeoning/soul warden/aether flash etc etc stack?" If there's an obvious way for it to work, then yes. "Does trample/first strike/haste/flying stack?" No, because how the fuck would something have double haste?

Posted: Mar 30 2009 10:21 pm

Ah, my bad. I just wanted to make sure that you didn't think I was asking if its effect went on the stack. I would hope you would assume I wouldn't need to ask that, but I got all paranoid and I wanted to be certain my question was clear.

Posted: Mar 30 2009 11:32 pm

That's a damn lie about cards being on tomorrow, you texted me yourself to say Steve canceled!

Can Goblin Welder put a Lotus Bloom into play?

Posted: Mar 31 2009 08:15 am

Well there WAS going to be cards when I wrote that, but then Steve texted to say no. Syd and I are both pissed cause we both built new decks.

Yes, Welder can put Lotus Bloom into play.

Hahaha, Rocket Powered Turbo Slug is awesome.

1. I have out an Exotic Orchard and a Reflecting Pool. My opponent has out a Meteor Crater and an Exotic Orchard. Neither of us have any other permanents out. Can any of our lands produce mana?

2. Are we playing cards tomorrow?

Posted: Apr 06 2009 12:53 pm

1. No.
2. As of 9:05 am today, Steve isn't sure yet.

Posted: Apr 06 2009 01:18 pm

If we don't end up playing, we should try and get a melee going on IRC.

Posted: Apr 06 2009 01:22 pm

we could try, but that would take FOREVER. A 15 minute duel can take over an hour because of the lag of people tyuping/not paying attention. If it was afteroon I'd probably be all over it though, lol.

How many ways can you win on your first turn?

Not really a judge's question, and there's a whole lot of them. Here's a couple.

*Black Lotus, Channel, Fireball (the classic)

*Island, Mox, Flash, play Protean Hulk, fail to pay the 2, fetch up a 4 Disciple of the Vault, 4 Shield Wall, and as many other artifacts as you can that instantly die when put into play.

*Swamp, Mox Ruby, Raging Goblin, Dark Ritual, Dark Ritual, Hatred for 19, swing for 20.

*Your opponent somehow loses on the first turn.
