Gods, such as  or , are not creatures if your devotion is not high enough.  Does this count when casting them? If, for example, an opponent tries to counter with  when the player casting a god doesn't have the required devotion, is the god a valid target?  Or, if Purphoros is on the battlefield and the controller tries to cast another god, for which they don't have the required devotion, do opponents suffer the 2 damage?

Say, I have , which is an Instant, on my hand. It can counter any spells.   The opponent has had a creature, for example , on the battlefield for several turns attacking and blocking.  Can I use my Cancel onto Ajani's Pridemate and send it to the graveyard (or to its owner's hand)?

I have a number of cards that grant a % more of a specific block type, if I have more than one of them chosen when I start digging will the effect stack or does it just choose the highest?

The description of the DnD 5e wish spell states "Finally, there is a 33 percent chance that you are unable to cast wish ever again if you suffer this stress." There are items and situations that grant a "free" wish spell. An example of this is the deck of many things (moon card). Now,   if a player gets such a free wish, is there still a chance that they will not be able to cast wish ever again? if a player already failed the "33% test" in the past, will they be able to use a free wish when it is granted to them?   I know that a DM has, of course, the final say in this, but I am curious to what is common among other DMs. The thing is that 1d3 wishes from a DoMT sounds fun, but it seems a bit disappointing to me if a player gets such a card but is already not allowed to use wish spells anymore (or if the card causes a player to be unable to use wish ever again).

But how can I hone my abilities in that skill? Obviously if I had no/all land I'd probably want to mulligan as the opportunity to actually cast some of my spells are worth the 1 card penalty. But what about when I only have 1 land or 1 spell? Are there any good rules of thumb to help me make this decision? How can knowing my deck make these choices easier? What other elements of my hand should I look at when making this decision?

My party and I are very new to D&amp;D, so we are still learning a lot of the rules.  Anyway, I have chosen the Oath of Vengeance for my paladin. During a battle, I wanted to use Vow of Enmity against my enemy. However, my DM said I couldn't use it because I didn't have a specific vengeance against said enemy. He basically told me that I can only use the vow if I can come up with a reason as to why the enemy deserves it. What are the requirements to use Vow of Enmity? Can I really only use it if I can come up with a reason to swear vengeance against the enemy? Or I am just able to use it whenever I want (once per rest, obviously, using Channel Divinity) simply because I have taken the Oath of Vengeance?

The specific example I'm looking at here is: you are a Paladin 2/Warlock 5 and snagged Eldritch Smite from XGTE as your 5th level Warlock Invocation. This gives you access to both...  Divine Smite Starting at 2nd level, when you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend one spell slot to deal radiant damage to the target, in addition to the weapon’s damage. The extra damage is 2d8 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d8 for each spell level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 5d8. The damage increases by 1d8 if the target is an undead or a fiend.  and  Eldritch Smite Prerequisite: 5th level, Pact of the Blade feature Once per turn when you hit a creature with your pact weapon, you can expend a warlock spell slot to deal an extra 1d8 force damage to the target, plus another 1d8 per level of the spell slot, and you can knock the target prone if it is Huge or smaller.  When I hit a target with an attack, can I set them both off at the same time, letting me burn two spell slots to use both features to boost my damage? As was specified , Divine Smite is not treated as a spellcasting, so it doesn't count towards the 'One Spell Per Round' rule. Presumably, neither would Eldritch Smite. As far as I can tell, this appears to be a legal way to burn a ton of resources at once to generate a massive burst of damage. Am I correct? Can these two like-features be used simultaneously?

It was suggested to me recently that Annihilator sacrifices (such as 's) are only chosen during resolution, rather than while they're going on the stack.  Do I choose those sacrifices during resolution? What part of the comprehensive rules backs that up?  I can't find any clarity on the internet, in the rules, on the MTG Salvation wiki for Annihilator, or in the ability's rulings. It seems reasonable, but I'd like to know what's behind it. Plus, if I can choose and then later  some stuff, all the better.

Divine Smite: Starting at 2nd level, when you hit a creature with a melee weapon   attack, you can expend one paladin spell slot to deal radiant damage   to the target, in addition to the weapon's damage.   I'm multiclassing into Paladin/Warlock/Sorc, and I'm wondering: can Divine Smite only be used in spell slots gained specifically by taking a level in Paladin, or can all available spell slots be used?

I just purchased the game . As per , the structure of the game is as follows:     Game has 55 round playing cards. Each card has eight randomly placed symbols. There are a total of 50 different symbols through the deck. The most fascinating feature of this game is any two cards selected will always have ONE (and only one) matching symbol to be found on both cards.   Is there a formula you can use to create a derivative of this game with different numbers of symbols displayed on each card.  Assuming the following variables:   S = total number of symbols C = total number of cards N = number of symbols per card   Can you mathematically demonstrate the minimum number of cards (C) and symbols (S) you need based on the number of symbols per card (N)?

Is drawing multiple cards an atomic action, or do effects triggered by drawing a card trigger for each card drawn instead?  Consider , which reads:     Whenever a player draws a card, Spiteful Visions deals 1 damage to that player.   If a player were to be compelled to draw more than one card, would that player be dealt the damage all at once, or one at a time? For example, how many times would  need to be activated to prevent all damage?  Furthermore, if there exist additional effects that are triggered by damage dealt in this way, are such effects resolved together atomically or is each resultant effect resolved individually?    How about tutors, or other cards not using the word 'draw', eg:      If you would draw a card, look at the top three cards of your library instead. Put one of those cards into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your library in any order.

In Magic:The Gathering it is possible to trigger abilities of creatures at the same time you can play instants?  I play it that I can block with a creature and sacrifice it at the same time. The attacking creature blocked this ways does not deal damage because the blocking creature is gone - and I get the bonus for the sacrifice (e.g.  gives me an extra B-Mana).  In a recent discussion the topic came up again. It seems like the rulings even allow for the blocking player to wait until the damage is put on the stack. Once the damage is on the stack, I can sacrifice my creature, gain the benefits from the sacrifice ability AND deal damage to the attacking create. In my Blood Pet example I would be able to kill an attacking creature with toughness 1 and get 1 B-Mana.  Is this correct? Where can I find the official ruling that clarifies that?

I was playing with my fiancée and some friends, and she's adamant that if you can yell Uno before someone who has just played their second to last card, they are required to pick up the penalty amount of cards.  Is this kosher?

If I control  and I activate his second ability and target  is the token copy a 4/4 or is it still equal to the number of cards in my opponents' graveyard?

I know that in previous editions you could only have one magic ring per hand, is that true in 5th edition (RAW) as well?

May be somewhat related to .  First, a word about the setting.  We are in a somewhat classic fantasy world with many references to Japanese mythology, culture, and traditions. We are playing Pathfinder, but that's irrelevant to the question.  In my next session, my players will witness a fight between two beings who are far stronger than them. (Namely, The Holy spirit of Autumn, Feïa, the gigantic celestial fox and a giant flying Oni)  Due to some pre-established plot (Feïa has been weakened), the odds are pretty even, with a slight advantage for the fox.  Here is my problem: if players where to charge the Oni, it would probably finish on a TPK pretty easily.  I don't want my players to have to sit around and watch the fight, as I figured it would be kind of boring for them, so I want them to have something to do.  I can't seem to think of any ideas about what to have them do. My ideas have either been totally unrelated (Go grab "random artifact" while one of your gods is fighting for the world's sake.) or it's very gamey and boring. (You need to destroy the three unguarded crystals behind the Oni to kill him.)  I am looking for a powerful experience, something that will make them feel involved in the action, something that they feel they must do. I feel there is so much I could exploit from that fight, but can't simply pinpoint the best thing to do.

Say I have a Zombie token, , and  on the battlefield. Can I sacrifice the Zombie token to activate both the Altar's and Seer's abilities?  Similarly, if I have one card in hand, and  and  on the battlefield can I discard the one card to both of their abilities?  If I have a  with 3 charge counters can I activate both of its abilities by tapping it to add a counter, and tapping it to remove 3 counters and destroy a permanent without untapping it in between?
