In the card {serum visions}, do I draw or scry first?
but the fact that theres a space makes a difference right? if it was just a paragraph it would be different? not sure if im making myself clear. like when things have continuos lines of text like {polukranos, world eater}, all of that stuff happens simultaneously, whereas {serum visions} happens step by step.
Thank you!
im just talking about the triggered ability. if there was a space after polukranos does damage then it wouldnt be simultaneous. if dmg killed something, that thing wouldnt have a chance to do dmg to polukranos. but since its one paragraph it all happens at once so polukranos will not get out unscathed.

101.4. (http://imtgapp.com/forum/index.php?action=imtg;area=rule;number=101.4.): If multiple players would make choices and/or take actions at the same time, the active player (the player whose turn it is) makes any choices required, then the next player in turn order (usually the player seated to the active player's left) makes any choices required, followed by the remaining nonactive players in turn order. Then the actions happen simultaneously. This rule is often referred to as the "Active Player, Nonactive Player (APNAP) order" rule.
Example: A card reads "Each player sacrifices a creature." First, the active player chooses a creature he or she controls. Then each of the nonactive players, in turn order, chooses a creature he or she controls. Then all creatures chosen this way are sacrificed simultaneously.
What level judge are you?

None, just a casual player. *shrug*
With all that magical knowledge you've got, I'm sure you'd have an easy time with the tests. Not that you need them of course, just saying.

Maybe I'd pass the tests, but it's not something I would make use of. Between a full-time job, college, marriage, and kids sometime soon, I don't have much time for Magic, let alone acting as a judge for an event. It'd just be an honorary title, like "black belt."

On a humbler note, the fact is, I always had an interest in law and knowledge, hence the rules comprehension. If I had applied myself better, I would be in law school today.
I also love teaching, which is why my area of influence here is the Rules Section. I don't just want to answer, I want to instruct. Teach them to fish, instead of giving them one, to reference the proverb. This is my outlet for all three: teaching, practicing law, and Magic: The Gathering.
That reminded me of a joke I heard a while ago. The proverb is "Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll eat for the rest of his life." The joke one is "Give a man fire and he'll be warm for a night. Set him on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life." I couldn't stop laughing when I heard it.
