Though it were mana of any color to cast those spells." Tibalt's effect is worded thus (emphasis mine):Īs Tibalt enters the battlefield, you get an emblem with "You may playĬards exiled with Tibalt, Cosmic Impostor, and you may spend mana as You assume that Tibalt's effect that creates the emblem can be countered separate of Tibalt, but it cannot. No and yes respectively to your questions.įor your first question, your analysis of rule 201.4a is correct, however you have an incorrect assumption in your question. Question 2 What is the ruling for if some ability changed the name of Tibalt, for example if Tibalt was made into a copy of another permanent? Looking at rule 706.11, I assume that the emblem would track whatever permanent Tibalt became? And if this permanent has some ability which allows it to exile cards, am I correct in assuming that these cards would be playable from exile?ħ06.11 If an effect refers to a permanent by name, the effect still tracks that permanent even if it changes names or becomes a copy of something else. This is also true if the second ability is copied onto a new object. However, if the second ability also moved the first ability’s source to a different public zone, the name refers to the object the source became in its new zone. The second ability does not refer to any other object with the same name as the first ability’s source. Looking at rule 201.4a stated below, am I correct in assuming that the emblem only grants you the ability to cast cards exiled with the specific Tibalt which created the emblem? Meaning that if, for example, Tibalt got bounced and was then replayed, and the new Tibalt's ETB got countered (resulting in no emblem being created), then any cards exiled with this new Tibalt would not be playable from exile (even though you still have the old emblem)?Ģ01.4a If an ability’s effect grants another ability to an object, and that second ability refers to that first ability’s source by name, the name refers only to the specific object which is that first ability’s source. Question 1 The emblem gained by Tibalt mentions the card (Tibalt) by name. That card gains Enchanted - At the end of your turn: Destroy this card.I have two questions regarding the exact rulings of the emblem gained by Tibalt, Cosmic Impostor. When an opposing nontoken creature or Artifact support is exiled from anywhere: Create a copy of that card into play under your control. "While on the board: Your token creatures and your copy creatures gain Haste. (Black, Red) Support Card - Emblem (4) Token "As long as there is an opposing creature that was dealt damage: This creature gains Berserker." (Red) Creature - Demon Berserker (2/3) Token "When this creature dies, the opponent’s first creature takes damage equal to this creature’s Power." Then, you gain 2 mana and deal 3 damage to your opponent’s Planeswalker for each different card in their exile. Otherwise, your opponent loses all their Loyalty. Level 4: If your opponent doesn’t control a card named Tibalt, Cosmic Impostor, create a copy of that card under your opponent’s control. Then, you gain 2 mana and deal 2 damage to your opponent’s Planeswalker for each different card in their exile. Otherwise, your opponent loses 12 Loyalty.

Level 3: If your opponent doesn’t control a card named Tibalt, Cosmic Impostor, create a copy of that card under your opponent’s control. Then, deal 2 damage to your opponent’s Planeswalker for each different card in their exile. Otherwise, your opponent loses 9 Loyalty. Level 2: If your opponent doesn’t control a card named Tibalt, Cosmic Impostor, create a copy of that card under your opponent’s control. Level 1: If your opponent doesn’t control a card named Tibalt, Cosmic Impostor, create a copy of that card under your opponent’s control. Exile the first opposing nontoken creature and an opposing nontoken Artifact support. Level 4: Create a Impostor’s Trickery token. Exile the first opposing nontoken creature. Level 3: Create a Impostor’s Trickery token. Exile the first opposing nontoken creature that is not reinforced. Level 2: Create a Impostor’s Trickery token. Level 1: Exile the first opposing nontoken creature that is not reinforced. Then, each nontoken opposing card gains Enchanted - When this card is destroyed: Exile it instead. If an opposing creature is dealt damage, create 2 Demon Berserker tokens instead. If an opposing creature is dealt damage, create a Demon Berserker token instead.
