Example:  Player 1 has a Mirror Entity in play (Secret: When your opponent plays a minion, summon a copy of it).  He also has 3 minions on the board.  Player 2 starts his turn with no minions and plays a Mind Control Tech (Battlecry: If your opponent has 4 or more minions, take control of one at random).  What happens?  Extra credit: what happens if Player 2 started with 3 minions before playing his Mind Control Tech?  Just trying to wrap my head around the mechanics.  Thanks.    Edit: this is different from the  link because the accepted answer on that question is not relevant to Secrets and does not go into detail on their usage.  In that answer, quote: "According to Lead Designer Eric Dodds, events such as Deathrattles that are triggered simultaneously will occur in the order in which the related cards were played.".  Secrets don't enter the stack when they were played, but rather as they are triggered which is a subtle but important point to this question (and something I learned through the accepted answer on here and some of the commentary from Waterseas).

I was using  and my opponent has a . I attacked Sylvanas, fearing that the Deathrattle will take control of one Hyena. I feel lucky, because it did not happen.  I want to know if there are some general rules of effect precedence.   Has Blizzard published something about this?  Are there articles teaching about precedence?   Please note, I want guidance about effect precedence in general, not just about Deathrattle.

If I have two cards called  in hand and I play my first, Sin Collector (A). I use its triggered ability.   "When Sin Collector enters the battlefield, target opponent reveals his or her hand. You choose an instant or sorcery card from it and exile that card."  Now, I play Sin Collector (B), I use B's triggered ability.  But now my question. Does Sin Collector (A)'s ability trigger again as well? 'Sin Collector' entered the battlefield again, right?

Say I have a  and  out. I tap the Steel Overseer for his ability to put +1/+1 counters while my Blinkmoth is a creature, and it gains a counter. After my Blinkmoth goes back into a land, does it keep the counter, or does it lose it?

I have a  on the battlefield and I played a vampire earlier this turn. Can I tap both to transform Chosen of Markov even though I just played the vampire?  Extra Example: I play  to put two 1/1 white bird tokens into play. Can I now tap a both of them and another creature I control to pay Battle Screech's flashback cost of tapping three white creatures?   Obviously these creatures couldn't use any tap abilities until my next turn, but since the tapping is coming from a different source, I figured the situation might be different.

I had several humans on the battlefield.  On turn three, I played . On turn four, I played . On turn five, during my upkeep, this question came up.  At this point, I need to draw/reveal three cards. If I reveal a human, Descendants' Path will allow me to cast it without paying its mana cost.  So, does it matter when I draw the human?  The static abilities state "at the beginning up your upkeep..." which leads me to believe that those two draws/reveals would happen before my normal draw. If that's the case, does the draw order happen in the same order that I played the enchantments?  In the end, that's how we decided to do it. I drew first for Triumph of Ferocity, then I revealed for Descendants' Path, then I drew for my turn. Did we do it right?

If I were to cast  on one of my opponent's creatures then, while that creature is under my control for the turn, I cast  choosing to sacrifice the creature I took from him/her, does that creature go into my graveyard (since I control the permanent), or does it go into my opponent's graveyard?   This happened recently while playing with friends and we just decided to put it in the original owner's graveyard.

What happens in the following situation?  My opponents got the  and  lock going on but I have a  in my deck that keeps me shuffling my graveyard back into my deck when it gets milled.  DO I just keep on shuffling untill the 45 minutes is up and the games end in a draw? How is this situation resolved?

is on the field.  It says     Cannot be Special Summoned. Monster effects cannot be activated.   If all  cards are collected, does Exodia's player win even though Majesty's Fiend prevents Monster effects from happening?

If triggered abilities from sources controlled by multiple players all trigger at the same time, in what order do they resolve?  For example, if I control  and at least two other creatures on my side of the field and my opponent plays , can I use Obezdat's ability of exiling him to save him from Archfiend's ability at the end step? Since both abilities trigger at the beginning of the end step, whose ability resolves first?

If I attack with  and another creature with lifelink, is Karlov getting 2 counters before he deals his damage this turn? Or are both damages dealt at the same time?

I read about the new mechanic in Innistrad, the upcoming MTG edition, called . These cards have two faces, and no standard Magic back. They have actual creatures on both sides. In the linked article they describe two options for handling those cards:     To put a double-faced card into your deck, you have two options: You   can put your entire deck in opaque card sleeves, as many players   already do, or you can use the checklist card provided in many   Innistrad packs. If you're using checklist cards to represent any of   the double-faced cards in your deck, you must use checklist cards to   represent all of them.   I am not happy with either of these options. As a card collector I want my cards nice and clean and I will definitely not remove them from their sleeve during actual play, which is required for the first option. Those cards would take damage really fast. So this option does not work for me.  The alternative is using those checklist cards, but as far as I understand it, this requires me to keep the real cards on a separate pile. Every time I play a checklist card, I will search this pile and put the right card into play. Shouldn't be a problem if you are playing for fun at home or with people who know your deck well. But in a tournament situation, this will leak important information to my opponent. How many double-faced cards am I playing? How many of those are left? It is also very likely that my oppponent my get a glimpse at some of them while I search for a card in the pile, because double-faced cards are hard to hide.  I am considering additional cards to act as decoys. Lets say I only have 4 checklist cards in my deck but I bring 20 different double-faced cards for the exchange-pile. Would this be allowed in a tournament? Or are there better ways to handle that?

We had this question arise in class today and I still don't understand the answer given. We were to assume that drawing cards are independent events. We were asked what the probability that the second card drawn is a queen if we take two from the deck. The answer given was 4/52, which seems counter-intuitive to me. How is the probability still 4/52 if there was a card drawn before it? What if the first card drawn was a queen?

Within the same phase, once a stack of spells has resolved in its entirety, is priority once again given to a player so that more spells may be cast?  For example:  I attack with a creature. Opponent opts not to block. Now, I want to buff (e.g. +3/+3) my creature multiple times, but I'm afraid of my opponent responding with a burn (e.g. Deal 3 damage) spell at the top of the stack. Can I buff once, ask if opponent wants to respond, then allow the stack to resolve. Then, in the same phase, cast more buff?

Player A taps  targeting Player B; its "deals 1 damage to target player" ability is placed on the stack.  Player B gets priority and responds with , targeting Goblin Fireslinger.  Both players pass priority. Snap resolves, and Goblin Fireslinger is returned to its owner's hand.  Does Player B still take 1 damage from Goblin Fireslinger's activated ability?  I know that if the creature had been killed/sent to the graveyard, the ability would still resolve, but I was told recently that because a player's hand is a private zone it couldn't. If anyone could confirm or deny this for me, it would be most appreciated.

Is it within the UNO rules to put a Wild Draw 4 card on top of a Draw 2 card, as it is a 'higher' card?    We've ALWAYS played that you can, but my new friend is adamant you can't.

Say someone has , which is a 0/3 Defender, and after some mechanics, transforms into a 13/13 Lizard Horror with Trample.  Say this someone managed to transform said card into its 13/13 Trample form, and then cast  on it (or any other clone type card if it would matter between different ones). Does the Metamorph/Clone/etc. come into play transformed, or as the 0/3 Defender?
