Based on the Put up-Sixth MagicSeriesRules—
if I am not mistaken —
a profound rift has emerged between the earlier and subsequent programs.
This seems notably related in fight, since injury dealt and brought by creatures combating one another not “goes on the stack,” because it did beforehand.
Particularly, with the brand new system, it is not doable to forged immediate spells to avoid wasting and/or increase (or anything) creatures after they’ve dealt injury to one another.
A very important consequence of this may be clearly highlighted, for instance, by observing how two good immediate playing cards could possibly be used on the finish of fight,in early Magic:
- Unsummon; and
- Loss of life Ward.
1)Within the early days of Magic, it was, for instance, doable to have the 2 creatures battle and await the end result of their battle;
then, if the end result was destructive for you, you possibly can forged Unsummon in your creature to return it to your hand.
With the brand new guidelines, anyway, all of that is no extra doable,as it’s doable to grasp checking this different good query;
nonetheless, since Unsummon is a card with formidable versatility, it is nonetheless a really helpful card in lots of conditions.
2)However the identical factor it is not doable to say in regards to the second immediate card I select for this query.
Speaking about Loss of life Ward now, it is instantly clear that below the brand new guidelines, this card’s use is severely restricted.
Other than instances the place a creature is broken and takes deadly injury exterior of fight —
for instance, if a vanilla 2/2 is broken by a Shock, and its proprietor casts a Loss of life Ward in response to the purple immediate to permit the vanilla to right away regenerate —
it is a lot much less clear whether or not, and if that’s the case, how, below the Put up-Sixth Version Magic Guidelines it might be doable to make use of a Loss of life Ward to avoid wasting a creature that dies throughout fight.
This is the reason the Loss of life Ward card appears to have been notably penalized in its conventional use by the New Guidelines.
In brief, due to this fact, here is the query:
-“Is it nonetheless doable at this time to make use of the white Loss of life Ward card throughout and/or after fight —
and probably, up till the cleanup step —
to avoid wasting creatures which have taken or would take deadly injury?”
Thanks to your consideration.
