nonbo. golem only copies if the spell targets a golem and a golem only.

No, it works. The spell must only target one golem. Multiple targets is fine, just only one can be a golem.

targets ONLY a single golem. different from a spell that targets a single golem and other targets.

Stuffy not a golem

sigh. the wording for precursor is it'll copy spells that target ONLY a single golem. if you target a single golem and stuffy doll that is not ONLY a single golem.

Scars is right. A ruling for {Precursor Golem} states: "If an instant or sorcery spell has multiple targets, but it's targeting the same Golem with all of them (such as {Agony Warp} targeting the same Golem twice), Precursor Golem's last ability will trigger."

That single golem needs to be either the only target or every target for Precursor's ability to trigger.

His last ability meaning it'll copy the instant or sorcery will trigger. That's what I'm trying to say. That's what that ruling states.

if you are targeting anything more than one golem be it a 2nd golem or an "it" precursor will not trigger.

Can you find me a ruling please. 
Title: Re: Wanna fight?!
Post by: scarsabrex on July 25, 2012, 08:18:18 PM
kulrath pointed out the exact ruling. I am pointing out the effect text. if you can rationalize that a spell targeting stuffy doll and a golem is targeting ONLY a single golem which, precursor stipulates for its trigger rationalize it for us.

My bad I misunderstood what the ruling stated.

Run {Conspiracy} or {Xenograft}. Stuffy is now a Golem. Problem?

you'd be targeting 2 golems. still not ONLY a single golem.

*facepalm* seriously people.

The answer here is {Alpha Brawl}. Which is what I thought it was originally for some reason XD

still doesn't work alpha brawl can only target an opponent's creature and xenograft and conspiracy only affect your own creature. still no precursor trigger. Unless you are also the opponent and are targeting yourself (opponent of the opponent) with alpha brawl.

effective. still alpha brawl only targets an opponent's creature.
I though about it, but after the first one goes off, all the golems are dead, so the other copies fizzle. You could target the {Stuffy Doll} with an {Alpha Brawl}, but the the {Precursor Golem} is out of the combo. Still not a bad mix though, and best of all, none f your creatures die in a Stuffy Brawl...

{Reverberate} or {Redirect} {Alpha Brawl}. Does that work?

nope.

If you redirect it, it still has to target an opponent creature.

You can {bazaar trader} the stuffy doll to your opponent. THEN  alpha brawl. But that would still not include your golem.

If you really want to use {Alpha Brawl} to your advantage, you'd need to cast a card like {Reins of Power} first.

Talking about mana issues, much.

Right. {8}{R}{R}{U}{U}: do lots of damage to an opponent using {Stuffy Doll}, {Precursor Golem} and other golems. XD
