You and target player exchange control of the creature you each control with the highest converted mana cost. Then exchange control of artifacts the same way. If two or more permanents a player controls are tied for highest cost, that player chooses one. (This effect doesn't end at end of turn.)
1.) If I have not creatures or artifaces in play do i still get to grab the highest cc creature and an artifact that the opponent controls?
G5.19 - Exchange
G5.19a - A spell or ability may instruct two players to exchange something (for example, life totals or control of two permanents) as part of its resolution. When such a spell or ability resolves, if it can't exchange the chosen things, it has no effect on them.
Example: If a spell attempts to exchange control of two target creatures but one of those creatures is destroyed before the spell resolves, the spell does nothing to the other creature. Or if a spell attempts to exchange control of two target creatures but both of those creatures are controlled by the same player, the spell does nothing to the two creatures. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
G5.19b - When control of two permanents is exchanged, each player simultaneously gains control of the permanent that was controlled by the other player. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
G5.19c - When life totals are exchanged, each player gains or loses the amount of life necessary to equal the other player's previous life total. Replacement effects may modify these gains and losses, and triggered abilities may trigger on them. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
G5.19d - Some spells or abilities may instruct a player to exchange cards in one zone with cards in a different zone (for example, cards removed from the game and cards in a player's hand). These spells and abilities work the same as other "exchange" spells and abilities, except they can exchange the cards only if all the cards are owned by the same player. [CompRules 2003/12/01]
G5.19e - If a card in one zone is exchanged with a card in a different zone, and either of them is attached to an object, that card stops being attached to that object and the other card becomes attached to that object. [CompRules 2007/05/01]
G5.19f - If a spell or ability instructs a player to simply exchange two zones, and one of the zones is empty, the cards in the zones are still exchanged. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
This is till misleading to me because the card does not target. And G5.18 says you can exchange 2 empty zones. Im guessing that you have to have a creature or artifact to exchange... But I dont know for sure, hence the question.
2.)If I vedalken Shackels a players Mishra's Factory when the factory becomes a land do I keep control of it for the rest of the game?
3.)If I Juxtapose with a chalice in play for 1, and we exchange artifacts does the Chalice still keep its counter when exchanged?
