I wonder if someone's ever been gotten by unmophing a willbender in response to a split second spell. Also this has me all in the mood to brew a trickbind shadow of doubt ghost quarter deck of some sort.

Say, what was the initial reaction to legacy dredge when it first crawled out of the graveyard and onto the legacy scene?

Yes, and this happened to me in TSP limited when I cast Sudden Shock on a morph that turned out to be a Willbender, and yes, I had to stop the game to check the rules, and yes I ended up losing because of it.

Lawnie posted:Pretty much never, right? It doesn't use the stack. The only requirement is that you have priority. An effect that would prevent activated abilities of creatures from being activated (for example, enchanting a face-down card with Detainment Spell) will not stop it from being able to use the morph ability because it is not an activated ability. However, an effect which would remove all abilities from the morphed creature will prevent it from being able morph because it loses the morph ability entirely and the cost can no longer be paid.

Rules question: I think that around Fourth or Fifth Edition (or prior) creatures would 'sleep' or be 'asleep' when you cast them. I think this was different than Summoning Sickness which was the case when the casting had been resolved. What's the term (aside from being "on the stack") for this now? Also, at one point tapped creatures could block - but not deal combat damage. Was this due to an enchament or something? Maybe around 1998-99?

No idea what you mean by sleep. To my knowledge the summoning sickness rules have never changed. The old rule was that if a creature became tapped after blocking it wouldn't deal damage, but will continue to block. The new rule is that everything proceeds exactly the same as if it were untapped. At no point could tapped creatures block (though I think there's a creature from much later that allowed it as an effect?)

I've been playing since 98 and never heard of that sleep thing. Summoning sickness rules haven't changed though the term 'summoning sickness' became informal and not official rulespeak anymore once they keyworded haste.

cheetah7071 posted:I long for the enchantment with the text "state based actions aren't checked" Well, for one thing, this would mean that games could only be ended by cards/abilities that explicitly lose or win a player the game, since losing to life total, poison, decking, etc. are all SBEs.

Or it acts as an Abyssal Persecutor sort of deal where you're just in limbo until it gets off the board. Make it a creature instead of an enchantment for bigger fun times.

cheetah7071 posted:I long for the enchantment with the text "state based actions aren't checked" My question is whether or not a functional reprint of Staying Power would fly in actual Magic, even if it was a version that only stuck around for a certain number of turns. Seems like it could cause a lot of memory headaches though. E: Something like Freeze Frame XWU Enchantment ~ enters the battlefield with X time counters. During your upkeep, remove a time counter from ~ or sacrifice ~. "This turn" and "until end of turn" effects don't end. Making it only stick around for X turns means I can't go Wrath -> Silence -> ~ to lock the opponent out of the game. Although, for three cards and 7+ mana you probably should get close to winning.

Seems like it could cause a lot of memory headaches though. I would settle for "players skip their cleanup steps" I suppose Would that cause an infinite loop of repeatedly skipped cleanup steps at the end of every turn as the game desperately tries to fix everything? I think it might, but it would be worth it
