You copy both and may cast both, one, or neither.
"In some cases involving linked abilities, an ability requires information about "the exiled card." When this happens, the ability gets multiple answers. If these answers are being used to determine the value of a variable, the sum is used. For example, if Elite Arcanist's enters-the-battlefield ability is copied, two cards are exiled. The value of X in the activation cost of Elite Arcanist's other ability is the sum of the two cards' converted mana costs. As the ability resolves, you create copies of both cards and can cast none, one, or both of the copies in any order."

Obligatory drop 2 {Akoum Refuge}s
I run Marchesa with +1/+1 counter sacrifice and return shenanigans. Undying/Unleash translate into immortality.

{Mycosyth Lattice} + {Vandalblast} you were saying? {Worldpurge} hits you too.
But world purge wins the game with the things previously mentioned

No it doesn't. It has no direct interaction with {Banishing Light} and {Near Death Experience}.
Thing is, you wanna get your life total at 1 AND your opponents unable to react to that. {worldpurge} would return your {banishing light} to hand thus returning your Experienceto the field, however you still need to get yourself @ 1 life to win.
I thought we were talking about {Barren Glory}
And just so you know banishing lught can't hit your own stuff. You'd need an o ring

That works. I just might brew a deck... I keep thinking {Oblivion Ring} and {Banishing Light} are interchangeable in my head. My bad.
There's got to be a way to get an extort trigger to take their last life.

My play group is about 50/50 on which sides the lands go on. So I've taken to placing them side by side, usually with lands on the left.

Im trying to figure out what creature to run in my U/W control deck. I only want to run a single copy. I'm stuck between {Ætherling} because of it is versatility or {Pearl Lake Ancient} because of Flash and Prowess as well as its ability to be a good finisher. If you have an opinion im glad to hear it but just don't tell me "depends on the match up"
Ætherling becomes unblockable, and can leave the board for {U}, instead of taking 3 lands with him. I guess PLA works better if you don't want to tap out to use him, but you have to remove all of their blockers, to ever get in a hit with him.

Back to Bolas.
He's 25,000 years old. His family won the elder dragon war. They then proceeded to remove the losers limbs creating wurms.
1,280 years ago beat up Ugin, source of Atarka's power. Manipulated Yasova into releasing ancient temur magics that turned the dragon tempests against Ugin. In the Khans timeline, that was lethal.
But wait there's more. Present day Tarkir, in the Khans timeline, Sarkhan goes mad from lack of dragons, and the voice of dead Ugin. Planewalks to find dragons, and winds up in Grixis, serving Bolas. Coincidence? I think not.
The events of Fate ReForged occurs, where Sarkhan saves Ugin, restoring dragons to Tarkir. So why did Bolas ever kill Ugin?
Theory 1: Because he can.
Theory 2: On the plane of Zendikar, Ugin used the Ghostfire to seal away the Eldrazi. Ugin wouldn't ever release the Eldrazi on his own, because he's such a nice guy. Sarkhan, on the other hand, is crazy and has no memory of the Eldrazi (sealed away 6,000 years ago). Bolas sends Sarkhan, and tricks Chandra and Jace, into the Eye of Ugin, where the seal that holds the Eldrazi is located.
TL;DR Bolas had a plan to unleash the Eldrazi, that took 1,280+ years to come full circle. And destroyed Atarka in a timeline that he also destroyed.
That story is longer than I can remember at one time. Please tell me if I skipped over anything important.

So long as the spell has convoke, you can tap creatures to reduce the casting cost.
Another interesting thing about convoke, you can tap creatures with summoning sickness, because it only says "tap" without using the tap symbol.

Thing is, captcha is already being used. Other methods seem to be not to be expected. Piotr, please correct me if I'm in error (I sincerely hope I am though, got this feeling, but I will not expand on it, since I have no evidence to back it up)
Should we look into using no captcha?http://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.com/2014/12/are-you-robot-introducing-no-captcha.html?m=1

It does not say "with a combined CMC of 3 or less". So as long as each creature has a cmc of 3 or less, you are good. So 2 coursers is a valid option.

That was my reasoning. If it was worded "combined converted mana cost" or "2 creatures with a total converted mana cost"
In contrast, {Protean Hulk} says " When Protean Hulk dies, search your library for any number of creature cards with total converted mana cost 6 or less and put them onto the battlefield. Then shuffle your library."
He counts the total CMC, not the CMC of each card, allowing you to grab as many 0 CMC creatures as you like.

Dragons of Tarkir is going to survive another standard rotation after FRF and KTK, so that seems the most appealing for standard play to me.
