Title: Conditions met?
Post by: Xanzurth on August 14, 2012, 10:50:26 AM
If I have 30+ life and an {archon of redemption} out when a {Serra ascendant} enters the battlefield do I gain life from the archon because the ascendants conditions are met to give it flying?

Wasn't sure because his static flying ability is situational.

Confirmed.  (Good question, I have to look this one up.  603.6b if you're curious.)

Imagine this situation, but instead of playing a {Serra Ascendant} you play {Serra Avatar}. It would come in as a 30/30. You gain 30 life and it become a 60/60 after it resolves. 😳

It would come in with power and roughness equal to your life total (30). Making at a 30/30 and you like gain life equal to its power. Putting you at 60 life. Bringing {Serra Avatar} to 60/60. Correct?

Seems like it. I made an honest mistake misreading the card.

RTFC

lol now when I say that, I don't mean it to be rude. It's been a joke for my friends lately while playing DOTP 2013, playing 2HG, we always make redonk mistakes because we glossed over the card. Causing us to lose the game. For example, I played the card that makes everyone life total equal to how many creatures they have after a day of judgement was played by my partner... I thought it said opponents. DERP! Instant lose! Everybody yelling RTFC bro! What the hell!
Ahhh 💩happens

You are reading what I said wrong. This is why English is the hardest language to learn. What I was saying is I read (red) the rule and I understand how it works, but you think i'm telling to read (reed) the rule which I'm not. Thank you English language for confusion once again.

The hazard of written communication: very difficult to convey tone and inflection. Even if you meant it one way, they might read it differently.

I hear ya man. I'll be texting my fiancé and I'll say something and she's like "wtf did I do? Why are you mad at me!!!???"
