Show... and Tell

[erg-19]

Who plays a card off of Show and Tell first?

[Forbiddian]

The person in the rules forum.

Or the active player, whoever is playing in the game. You declare it before it actually comes into play, though.

So my opponent playing O-Ring and I playing Halls, he rings my halls? correct?

He would get to Ring your Halls regardless, since the triggered ability would only go on the stack after Show and Tell has finished resolving.

That is the information needed. Thanks much.

It's the same thing with playing Tombstalker and Stingscourger off show and tell. (HINT: Good for the Goblins player!)

You should know, though, that the opponent doesn't get any foreknowledge of what you're Showing. The same is NOT true of something like Innocent Blood or Cataclysm, although personally I feel it should be (each player could write their decision down on hidden paper, then reveal simultaneously).

If the opponent chooses O-Ring they can still use it on your Dream Halls, but they have to guess not to choose something else like a Goyf.


101.4. If multiple players would make choices and/or take actions at the same time, the active player (the player whose turn it is) makes any choices required, then the next player in turn order (usually the player seated to the active player's left) makes any choices required, followed by the remaining nonactive players in turn order. Then the actions happen simultaneously. This rule is often referred to as the "Active Player, Nonactive Player (APNAP) order" rule.
Example: A card reads "Each player sacrifices a creature." First, the active player chooses a creature he or she controls. Then each of the nonactive players chooses a creature he or she controls. Then all creatures are sacrificed simultaneously.

101.4a If an effect has each player choose a card in a hidden zone, such as his or her hand or library, those cards may remain face down as they're chosen. However, each player must clearly indicate which face-down card he or she is choosing.

101.4b A player knows the choices made by the previous players when he or she makes his or her choice, except as specified in 101.4a.

In a sort-of related question, if I cast Null Chamber, I assume I get to name the card first? (Active/inactive interaction, correct?)


Edit: Sexy. Thanks, cdr.

[cdr]

Correct.

[AcidFiend]

MattH what are you saying exactly? Is this series of plays correct? Do Lignify and O-Ring work the same way in example?

Player 1: Show and Tell
Player 2: SnT resolves
*Player 1 selects Iona, plays it face down*
*Player 2 selects Lignify, plays it face down*
*Both cards are revealed*
*They enter the battlefield, and effects go on the stack*
*When Lignify's trigger resolves, Iona is in play, thus you can choose it*

Or do I have to announce Lignify's target as I place it down (ie, having to guess what they've put into play)?

[cdr]

Lignify has no triggered ability. Lignify does not target when it's put into play by an effect (you're not playing it). It comes into play enchanting something. Iona is not in play when Lignify is coming into play.

Corrolary question.

There is Progenitus in play and Lignify in the graveyard. I play Replenish. Can I enchant Progenitus with Lignify? Will Lignify remain on Progenitus?

Because Progenitus's protection from everything prevents enchanting it with anything, you can't put Lignify on Progenitus. You must choose another creature.


303.4f If an Aura is entering the battlefield under a player’s control by any means other than by resolving as an Aura spell, and the effect putting it onto the battlefield doesn’t specify the object or player the Aura will enchant, that player chooses what it will enchant as the Aura enters the battlefield. The player must choose a legal object or player according to the Aura’s enchant ability and any other applicable effects.
