If you have a way to untap Elixir of Immortality can you use its ability more than once before it shuflles back in?

Asked by TowerOfBad 13 years ago

Alright, I have an Elixir of Immortality , and Voltaic Key , and enough mana.

Can I...

*pay two mana tap the Elixirpay one untap it with the Keypay two tap it a second time.gain ten life, then sacrifice it. (Or, do this X amount of times using tezzeret, keys, etc.)

Am I able to do this? If not, can you explain why? Thank you. :D

pay one

untap it with the Key

pay two

gain ten life, then sacrifice it.

(Or, do this X amount of times using tezzeret, keys, etc.)

Yes you can. The only cost you have to pay is 2 colorless and tap (there is no sacrifice). After it resolves you shuffle the elixir and everything else with it into your library. With the aid of voltaic key you end up shuffling your graveyard into your library twice.

Nice, nice. Thank you.

(Oh, and the "pay one" was referring to the voltaic key's ability cost, sorry my post was so confusing)

No, because of the order that the ability tells you to do so.However instead get the rings of bright hearth and interrupt the resolve with activating the rings then target the elixir of immortality. That will achieve what you are attempting.
