If I play Kuldotha rebirth other player can response destroying the artifact?
Asked by zeda 14 years ago
1-
If I play Kuldotha Rebirth , can the opponent response, destroying the artifact wich I sacrifice to cast it (with a bolt or a creature ability), and doing it, he doesn't allow me to cast Kuldotha rebirth?
And if he can do it, Kuldotha rebirth backs to my hand and my land doesn't untap? Or Kuldotha rebirth goes to the graveyard the land stay tapped?
2-
If I attack, for eg., with a Goblin Guide and with a Goblin Chieftain , if my opponent destroys Chieftain, does he take 3 or 2 damage from goblin guide?
3- If I don't discard a card, and I sacrifice Molten-Tail Masticore , can I regenerate it?
You can answer just one question, if you don't know the answer for the other ones.
Thank you.
2-If theres an ability from a creature I was told if its destroyed and it effects an attacking creature its buffs stay untill end of turn
3-regenerate does not save you from sacing

2- @gpmoon22 If the Chieftain would die from a damage from a blocking creature the Guide would still deal 3 since all combat damage is dealt simultaniously. In Zeda's example however, the Chieftain is being destroyed by the opponent, which would be at instant speed. After the fast effects all state-based conditions (Chieftain giving other gobs it's bonus) are checked again and in this case gone. Now the combat phase moves on to the damage dealing phase and the Guide only deals 2. I'm no rules expert, so do correct me if I'm wrong.

for kuldotha rebirth, you CANNOT respond by destroying the artifact since it's an additional cost and is paid before opponent's response time. So it casts, and if they respond by playing shatter, they cant target the already destroyed artifact.

@Dies_2_Removal, yea I didnt think they lost the buffs..this clears up things for me to now =p

mhuston is correct, by the time your opponent has a chance to respond to the Kuldotha Rebirth the artifact is already in the graveyard and the cost has been paid.

sac speed is faster than your instant speed there for I kill my own stuff faster than you can kill my stuff PWNED but the real question is can you pay the cost to cast the sorcery in response to the artifact being destroyed!

no. it's a sorcery; you can't cast it anytime there's something on the stack already.

1- If it's the only artifact you have in play at the time you won't be able to pay the full cost and cannot properly cast the spell. Since it's already being casted, it will go to your graveyard, not back to your hand. The land stays tapped. Just compare the situation to a spell being countered by a counterspell.
2- It only deals 2. Since the Chieftain is gone the moment it's destroyed, you no longer get the +1/+1 bonus from it.
3- No, regenerating lets your Masticore survive lethal damage, not being sacrificed (nor being destroyed or exiled).
