IMO it doesn't depend on anything, that hand can't be keepable. Against a deck with cheap creatures, you're unlikely to be able to defend Chandra on turn 4, and against a slower deck you will get flooded out and run over.

I don't think 6 landers are really ever keepable, although if the 7th card is a real bomb that wins the game on its own, and you know your opponent can't answer it, then maybe. I also mull 80-90% of 5-landers. 5 lands, 1 Goblin Shortcutter, and Chandra would also be an easy mull.

You can't say it's unkeepable and then provide a scenario where it might be keepable. I said that hand isn't an auto-mull as some of the others.

I didn't provide a scenario where it might be keepable. I don't think it's keepable in any scenario.

The only card in M14 that I might consider keeping with 6 lands is Kalonian Hydra, but only if I had seen my opponent's entire deck and knew it had zero removal spells. Keeping 6 landers is extremely bad.

Chandra can pretty much win the game on her own under the right circumstances. Granted, it is unlikely.

In one game yesterday I used her -7 ability and cast three lava axes haha. That was after dealing several points of damage using the +1 ability, of course.

6 lands Pack Rat. I know it's RtR, but after the WMC today, can't help but think of it.

I'd keep that almost every time. We're not talking about that, though.

Again, read what you just said. The fact we are even having this discussion on 6-landers means its not auto-mull.

Edit:

Should clarify that I am not disagreeing with you, I am saying that the hand warrants some thought before shipping it.

I know what I said. I said if it's 6 lands with a card that can win the game on its own, without casting any other spells for the entire game, then it might be a keep. Otherwise it is an auto mull. Chandra is obviously not in the category of Kalonian Hydra/Pack Rat, so it's an auto mull. There's no point considering it.

Separate question.

Let's say my opponent enchants their mountain with Awaken the Ancient. On my turn I cast Clone and choose the mountain creature as the target. Does this mean I now have, specifically, a mountain, with no other characteristics (it is not even a creature)?

Correct. It copies the card, not the enchantment. It would just be a 3U basic mountain.

Correct. It copies the card, not the enchantment. It would just be a 3U basic mountain.

The reason why I found it so confusing is because, even though I knew clone won't copy the enchantment, what ultimately happens is affected by the enchantment in this case. Any enchantment or effect which makes a non-creature permanent a creature means that permanent can now be mimicked by clone, even though clone will lose his creature status as he enters the battlefield (unless that effect also influences your cloned version of the permanent for some reason, keeping it a creature).

Pretty crazy.

Clone effects can get much more complicated, if you ever want your head to hurt, go read about layering.

Lol I remember blowing people out with clones in Bant pod in Scars standard. People didnt understand it kept the mana cost so when they would play a titan and I would get an Elesh Norn from my clone they would always call a judge.

Question 4 was impossible for me to figure it out. Even looking at the solution my head hurt trying to understand it at each step. I feel dumb.

I've been bored and decided to try a fun mostly human GW deck. I have been tweaking it a little bit here and there removing some cards. I did beat a JUND deck once, but I think I got really lucky.

+ Show Spoiler [Deck List] +
Creatures:
Avacyn's Pilgrim x4
Elvish Mystic x2
Arbor Elf x2
Champion of the Parish x4
Precinct Captain x2
Banisher Priest x4
Borderland Ranger x2
Crusader of Odric x2
Fiendslayer Paladin x2
Frontline Medic x2
Restoration Angel x3
Angel of Serenity x2

Spells:
Ranger's Guile x3
Renounce the Guilds x2
Angelic Edict x1
Ajani, caller of the Pride x1

Land:
Plains x10
Temple Garden x4
Forest x7
Gavony Township x2

Sideboard:
Akroma's Memorial x1
Brave the Elements x2
Celestial Flare x2
Oblivion Ring x2
Rest in Peace x3
Silence x2
War Priest of Thune x3


I am still tweaking what number of creatures I have. I might take out one or two champion of the Parish's and add in some more spells, maybe take out one of the banisher priests and add another Precinct Captain. The sideboard I am not sure of yet, still thinking of that one.I am sure I will take out some of the War Priests.

If I have out a gladerider sliver and some other sliver, and announce I'm going to attack, my opponent can burn/remove my gladerider sliver to take flying away from my second sliver.

However, if I announce I'm attacking, and my opponent says ok, and then I swing with both creatures, of course they can choose to burn/remove the gladerider before declaring blockers. If they do it this way, will the second sliver lose flying, even though he had it when I declared attackers, meaning a crawler can now block it?

Yes, they can kill it during declare attackers and the other sliver will lose flying before the declare blockers step.

Okay; that is the way it was played when I saw this so I'm glad it was handled correctly. I'm finding slivers can be pretty darn effective 1:1 if you have a good starting hand, vs many types of decks.
