A Question With the Use of the New Strive Ablility Using Twinflame
Asked by SithLord 9 years ago
Lets say you have all this mana in your mana pool and then you play a Twinflame . You use to target Mulldrifter . Since you are making token copies witht he strive ability, do you also get to draw 2 cards for the token copies of Mulldrifter ?

Do note that you can only target a creature once with a Strive spell, you can only get one copy of Mulldrifter.

Epochalyptik Sweet!
williamgp99 I can't target any number (even one) with strive?

Sorry, I guess that I worded that a little oddly. If you have one Mulldrifter , you can only target it once with a spell with Strive. If you pay the Strive cost, you have to target a different creature. It's the same with multitarget spells like Dauntless Onslaught .
Sorry again if you already know this, your original post had said "copies."

williamgp99 I am just trying to understand Strive alittle better. I was alittle confused with how the targetting of something worked, but it makes sense now. Could I however have 2 Mulldrifter on the field and target one, than the other repeat (with infinite mana)?

No. Each target of a strive spell must be different. You can only target the same object multiple times if the spell or ability says "target" multiple times. For example, Agony Warp can target the same creature twice because there are two instances of the word "target."

If you cast another Twinflame , then yes. You can't target anything that doesn't exist yet, so Twinflame can't target the tokens it would make.

So, can a strive target ANY target (let's say, to trigger heroics) even if it is an illegal target not affected by the specific strive spell?
Example:
Using Consign to Dust to target Pheres-Band Thunderhoof ...

@DragonFeNx: Please ask a new question instead of replying to an old one.
No. You can't name illegal targets for a spell or ability. All of the targets have to be legal on declaration.

The "Draw two cards" effect is part of Mulldrifter 's ETB triggered ability. It doesn't matter how Mulldrifter (or copies of it) enters the battlefield, each one has an ability that triggers when the creature enters the battlefield. Each token will produce a trigger.
