Title: Door of Destinies
Post by: Mattao19 on September 19, 2013, 01:17:02 AM
I have a  {Door of Destinies} out naming slivers I then tap 2 to play  {Manaweft Sliver} it gets  {Essence Scatter}ed but is it still casted or is it only considered cast if it resolves

If you didnt "cast" it then they couldnt have countered it. So yes it counts.

I wish that it was enters the battlefield though bc then I could just use  {Legion's Initiative} and have my army return to the battlefield and get X counters lol

Thanks though

Yup. Thats actually the reason it doesnt say ETB. Tokens and flicker effects would break door almost as fast as {stoneforge mystic} broke {batterskull}.

If the counter goes on just by casting, even if the spell gets countered... Would the door of destinies get a counter before the creature reaches the battlefield?!

Well the spell needs to be casted before it is countered, so yes the counter still goes on the door.

Before the creature hits the battle field though right?? So I could cast a clone without cloning anything and it would survive?! XD

Yes, if your Door is on Shapeshifter.
