30. Russell is at twelve life and controls an Opal Avenger which is currently an enchantment. Russell plays a Game of Chaos targeting Michelle who is at twenty life. First he loses four coin flips, and then he wins once and chooses to stop. What happens?

Game of Chaos (RRR, Sorcery)
Choose target opponent and flip a coin. If you win the flip, you gain 1 life and that player loses 1 life. If you lose the flip, you lose 1 life and the player gains 1 life. The winner of each flip decides whether to flip again. Double the life stakes with each flip.

Opal Avenger (2W, Enchantment)
When you have 10 life or less, if Opal Avenger is an enchantment, Opal Avenger becomes a 3/5 Guardian creature.

a) This can't actually happen. Russell will be at -3 after the first four flips, and he will die immediately.
b) The Opal Avenger triggers three times. Russell survives.
c) The Opal Avenger triggers once. Russell survives.
d) The Opal Avenger doesn't trigger. Russell survives.
e) The Opal Avenger triggers. When Russell tries to put the ability on the stack he loses because his life had been zero or less.

31. Russell controls a Gray Ogre (R2, Creature- Ogre, 2/2). Michelle plays a Gray Ogre of her own and then plays a Conspiracy. As Conspiracy comes into play, Michelle chooses the creature type "Legend". What happens?

Conspiracy (3BB, Enchantment)
As Conspiracy comes into play, choose a creature type.
Creatures you control and creature cards in your graveyard, hand, and library are of the chosen type.

a) Michelle is the active player, so the status of her Gray Ogre is evaluated first. The status of Russell's Gray Ogre is then evaluated. Russell must put his Gray Ogre into the graveyard.
b) Michelle's Gray Ogre came into play most recently. Michelle must put her Gray Ogre into the graveyard.
c) Both Gray Ogres were in play when the Conspiracy resolved. Both Gray Ogres must be put into the graveyard.
d) Both Gray Ogres were in play when the Conspiracy resolved. Only Michelle's Gray Ogre is affected by the legend rule, and she will have to put her Gray Ogre in the graveyard.
e) Both Gray Ogres were in play when the Conspiracy resolved. Only Michelle's Gray Ogre is affected by the legend rule, and she will not have to put her Gray Ogre in the graveyard.

32. Michelle attacks with an Air Elemental and a Venomous Dragonfly enchanted with Lure. Russell has an untapped Giant Spider in play. Can the Giant Spider block the Air Elemental?

Air Elemental (3UU, Creature- Elemental, 4/4)
Flying

Giant Spider (3G, Creature- Spider, 2/4)
Giant Spider may block as though it had flying.

Lure (1GG, Enchant Creature)
All creatures able to block enchanted creature do so.

Venomous Dragonfly (3G, Creature- Insect, 1/1)
Flying
Whenever Venomous Dragonfly blocks or becomes blocked by a creature, destroy that creature at end of combat.

a) No. Russell is required to block the Venomous Dragonfly.
b) No. The Giant Spider may block as though it had flying, so Russell must block the Venomous Dragonfly if he blocks at all.
c) No. Russell may try to block the Air Elemental, but the block would be redirected to the Venomous Dragonfly.
d) Yes. The Giant Spider can block as though it had flying.
e) Yes. Russell declares he is not blocking the Venomous Dragonfly. Then Russell declares he is blocking the Air Elemental with the Giant Spider, and Michelle receives priority.

33. Russell begins his turn and untaps his four basic lands and two Tangle Wires. One Tangle Wire has a fade counter on it, and the other has three counters remaining. What is the maximum number of untapped basic lands Russell can have at the start of his first main phase?

Tangle Wire (3, Artifact)
Fading 4
At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player taps an untapped artifact, creature, or land he or she controls for each fade counter on Tangle Wire.

a) 0
b) 1
c) 2
d) 3
e) 4

34. Michelle starts her turn controlling a Wild Mammoth and two Grizzly Bears (G1, Creature- Bear, 2/2). Russell controls three Scathe Zombies (2B, Creature- Zombie, 2/2). Michelle places the Wild Mammoth ability on the stack. Russell then plays a Terror targeting a Grizzly Bears. The Terror resolves, and the Grizzly Bears is destroyed. What happens when the ability of the Wild Mammoth resolves?

Terror (1B, Instant)
Destroy target nonartifact, nonblack creature. It can't be regenerated.

Wild Mammoth (2G, Creature- Elephant, 3/4)
At the beginning of your upkeep, if a player controls more creatures than any other, that player gains control of Wild Mammoth.

a) Russell controls more creatures. He gains control of the Wild Mammoth.
b) This can't happen as described. The Wild Mammoth triggered ability doesn't go on the stack at all.
c) The number of creatures controlled by each player was equal when the triggered ability went onto the stack. Michelle keeps the Wild Mammoth when the ability resolves, but (if nothing changes) Russell will gain control of the Wild Mammoth at the beginning of her next upkeep.
d) The number of creatures controlled by each player was equal when the triggered ability went onto the stack. Michelle keeps the Wild Mammoth when the ability resolves, but (if nothing changes) Russell will gain control of the Wild Mammoth at the beginning of his next upkeep.
e) Since the if-condition has a different status during announcement and resolution, the whole effect is contradictory and ignored.
