    fetch and wasteland

    cause well, someone done my this, and i believe this is technicaly possible, and another one on the net say to me that i doesn't work.
    so, who's right ?

    If i understand correctly, you have a wasteland, your opponent, who also has a fetch, tries to wasteland it. When he activates his wasteland targeting yours, you can, once he's passed priority, target his fetchland with your wasteland.

    I don't know why you would do this though...except if he was at 1 life.

    So that he doesn't get a land, no you can't. You can't even target the fetch with your wasteland because he's already sacrificed it.

    No, because sacrificing the fethcland is part of the activations. So basically, your opponent would tap it, pay 1 life, and then sacrifice it. There would be no time in there for you to Wasteland it.

    Also, if you Wasteland first they can fetch in response.

    So basically you can't ever Wasteland an untapped Fetch unless your opponent is really dumb.

    Unless they can't pay for suppression field, or City of Solitude is on the table.

    Or you've resolved Abeyance,or have a Needle naming that fetch, etc., etc. I suppose I should say that if your opponent has an untapped fetch and there's nothing keeping him from activating it, you're never going to be able to Wasteland it unless they're dumb.

    And they would probably just fetch in response to Abeyance.

    Fetching in responce to Geddon/Cataclysm would be futile as the lands they fetch for would CIP before those spells resolved thus destroying the fetched lands as well, yes?

    Also, can Fetches be activated at instant speed? Like say durring a combat exchange where a Goyf is involved thus giving him a the +1/+1? OR say you tap them durring their upkeep with a Port, can they still be activated in responce?

    Never played with/against Fetches before, so if those questions seems ridiculously stupid, my bad.

    Yes, fetching in response to mass LD is pointless (unless, for some reason, you want to thin your deck of lands, and are willing to pay a life to do it... which usually isn't something you want to do after a Geddon, because you need to rebuild, but you might Fetch and fail to find if, for instance, the top 2/3 cards are not land)

    Yes, Fetchlands can be activated whenever you have priority. I'm not sure what would make you think anything different. There's no "Play this ability any time you could play a Sorcery" clause on them. Whenever you have priority (i.e. could play an Instant spell or a creature with Flash) you can use their ability.

    Re: fetch and wasteland

    I guess it was the fact that the land was coming into play that made me want to question it. It seems unnatural to "play" a land at instant speed, but as with Vial and the creature, you aren't playing it, it is coming into play.

    I'm still relearning. Lot's of new rules and cards from the past 8 years all jammed into 3 months. It's hard to keep them all cohesive. Just wanted to be sure. Thanks for clarifying.
