The Trick Question Thread (Elements version)

[ddevans96]

I figured I didn't have to state that trainer wasn't allowed since that's usually obvious. I'll make sure to clarify that next time

[Five In One]

ok, I answered both of your questions

What's the only Darkness creature that can survive 2 holy lights, without any spell buffs, or ability buffs?

Assuming that "buffs" don't include healing, then Voodoo Doll. You just need a Guardian Angel to heal it once.

Which elements currently have 3 cards with alternate artworks in them?

[Essence]

All of them; the alternate pillar art was voted on about six months ago.

How many creatures can have abilities that go away when you use them (i.e. Lycanthropy or Stone Form)?

[Krahhl]

Any creature can have Lycanthropy, gained through mutation.

Question?

[Essence]

Answer.

Under 1.27 rules, how many pairs of elements can destroy your enemy's weapon?

I probably should have mentioned that the two holy lights are played in the same turn, so no time for heals

I guess I will answer essence, and post my question again...
answer is two pairs: , , , and

question: What's the only Darkness creature that can survive 2 holy lights, without any spell buffs, or ability buffs? (no healing allowed)

[Falcon4415]

+ any (BE) -> 11 pairs
+ any (Deflag) -> 10 more pairs
+ (Pulvy) -> 1 more pair
+ (freeze/shockwave) -> 1 more pair
+ any -> 9 more pairs

Total: 32 pairs

TII:
Eclipse-buffed upgraded voodoo doll (it's a permanent, not a spell).

Question: how can you prevent a Phoenix form producing ash without a lobotomizing ability/spell?

[Malignant]

By not killing it ?

(Skull Shield.)

Well done, Falcon, but you're off by one -- Aether doesn't have any creatures that can be BE'd.  Good on catching the 'trick' though. 

If Malignant's answer isn't adequate, I'd suggest Antimatter. :p

Can you find a way to create at least one quantum if you have nothing in play, no cards in your hand, and no quanta in your pool?

Phase spider + antimatter + BE = entropy and aether pair that can destroy weapons.

Easy. Mark guarantees this.

Oooh, pwnd.  Twice in one post.  Ouch. 


OK, then, since you didn't ask a question:

Which two forum accounts can you not send PMs to?
