Judge

[Zman47]

I am learning the rules and using different situations to help learn. could anyone help me learn more or give me made up tests?

[Kaleo42]

Go to the judge center and try the practice tests.

Ill put out a few questions though.
First: If player A casts {appetite for brains} on player B and reveals {catch and release}, {armada wurm}, {island} and {far // away}. Besides the opponent's deck making no sense, which card(s) are legal targets.

[Zman47]

armada wurm and catch//release

[Kaleo42]

Good.

Player A casts {snapcaster mage} with no instants or sorceries in their graveyard. They also have {birthing pod} in play. When is player B's first chance to kill the snapcaster if player A wants to pod it away.

[Zman47]

when snapcaster mage goes onto the stack when he enters the battlefield

[Kaleo42]

Nope.
They can counter it before it resolves
When it enters that player will retain priority assuming they are casting it on their turn. Without a target it's ability will not go onto the stack after triggering, it will simply fizzle. That fizzle means no priority pass to allow the opponent to respond. The pod will be able to sac the snap unhindered as long as that is the next thing that player does.

[Zman47]

ok

[Millionlittlee]

So never

[Kaleo42]

Im heading to work now so these will come much slower now.

If you activate a {mutavault} and cast {phantasmal image} copying the vault what does the image enter as.

Next what happens to it if a {blood moon} enters play.

[Kaleo42]

So never

Exactly unless you counter it with {cancel} or something or if there is some other trigger like {soul warden} to account for. The point is when it's not your turn you can only respond you cant just cast because you have instants or activate abilities because you want to.

[Zman47]

the illusion will be a 2/2 but when the land becomes a mountain it will kill the illusion because the land is not a creature any more

[Millionlittlee]

the illusion will be a 2/2 but when the land becomes a mountain it will kill the illusion because the land is not a creature any more

This is what I say too

[Kaleo42]

Nope.
This is what we call layers. They can be difficult to grasp but are actually simple in concept. Layers are how effects are applied to cards and effects of the same type apply to the same layer overriding or adding to previous effects. Underneath them all is the card itself.

Clones copy cards not effects. The image will enter as a land named mutavault that is an illusion in addition. This is the same as saying if you clone a creature that gave itself a pump ({wolfbitten captive} for example) it would clone without the pump.

Once {blood moon} enters play that image is a {mountain} nothing more.

[Millionlittlee]

Simple but you are an evil man

[Zman47]

ok so the creature is now a land
