>>>1. Phage vs Platinum angel... Does angel win and keep player alive?
Platinum Angel has a static ability that states you cannot lose the life. Phage triggers and when it resolves it tries to make you lose the game, but Platinum Angel prevents that from happening.
>>>2. Flickering ward... Can i play this on an opponents creature with 2 blue enchantments on it, name blue to destroy them and then buy it back?
You may play it on your opponent's creature and name blue to cause their blue enchantments to go to the graveyard. Then you can return it to your hand.
>>>3. How does stack order work with tapping. I have an untapped creature like visara, opponent is holding an unmake. If i tap then he unmakes does creature im targeting live?
Once activated, an ability will exist on the stack independent of the source. The creature you targeted will still be destroyed.
>>>or other way around he plays unmake first can i tap and kill creature.
This works as well. In response to the Unmake, you activate the Visara ability and destroy a creature.
>>>4. Similarly if i try to enchant a creature and my opponent instant kills it do i lose enchantment i was trying to play too?
Yes. As stated above, auras on the stack target the object they intend to enchant. If that target is illegal when it tries to resolve, the spell will be countered upon resolution due to having an illegal target.
>>>5. If i play a spell like minion of the wastes or hatred do i spend life first thus if countered i lose all the life?
The paying of life for Hatred is an additional cost, so you pay the life when you play the Hatred. If it gets countered, the life has already been paid. The paying of life for Minion of the Wastes happens as it enters play. If it is entering play, then it has resolved. If they were to counter Minion of the Wastes, then you would not lose any life.
>>>6. I use an ability that taps all opponents lands, do they get to interrupt and tap those lands to use them?
They may tap their lands for mana in response. If they don't use the mana before the end of the current phase then they will take mana burn.
>>>And whey you take damage from mana burn is it damage or loss of life, ie would having multiple sun droplets allow you to mana burn yourself and gain life in the end?
Mana burn is loss of life, not damage, so it won't trigger Sun Droplet.
>>>7. I know some slivers effects stack but do they all. Like essence sliver or the one that gives poison counters?
Every sliver grants the abilities on it to all other slivers. Two winged slivers grant a Metallic Sliver flying twice (though the second instance doesn't really do anything). Two Essence Slivers grant a Metallic Sliver Lifelink twice, so they'll gain 2 life for each damage it deals. Two Virulent Sliver grant a Metallic Sliver Poisonous 2, so it will give the opponent 2 poison counters if it deals them combat damage.
>>>8. if a creature is removed with o-ring does it return to game able to attack that turn or does it have summoning sickness again? If i take control of a creature does it gain summoning sickness again or can i attack right away?
A creature can't attack or use it's own activated abilities that include the tap symbol unless it has been under its owner's control since the beginning of their most recent turn. The O-Ring'd creature will not be able to attack unless you've controlled it continuously since the beginning of your most recent turn.
>>>9. I have 5 life, opponent hits me with a creature that is 6/6 that i have a spirit link on. Do i die?
Damage must resolve before the Lifelink triggers. Before the Lifelink resolves, state-based effects will cause you to lose the game.
>>>10. Cytopoplast manipulator takes creature and remains in play but creature loses its plus one counters. Do i still get to keep it
Yes.
01/05/2006 The control change lasts as long as Cytoplast Manipulator is in play. It doesn't end if the creature loses all its +1/+1 counters, it stops being a creature, or if Cytoplast Manipulator becomes untapped.
I killed your cat! (Why?) I felt it would bring closure to our relationship!
