Eater of the Dead God Mode?
Asked by -Orvos- 9 years ago
Am I correct in assuming that if i have Phenax, God of Deception and Eater of the Dead in play if someone tries to cast some kind of "kill it" spell on Eater of the Dead I can respond to that by tapping him and put his ability from phenax on the stack. At that point so long as there is a creature card in a graveyard I can then indefinitely tap and untap him to mill and exile creature cards in a graveyard. Right? Even if they were to play another "kill it" spell. Its a confusing mess to explain it out but here it goes. . .
"kill it" spell on Eater of the Dead
tap Eater of the Dead to mill for 4
activate Eater of the Dead's ability to untap him (so long as there is a creature in a GY)
at this point someone decides Eater of the Dead needs to die sooner than when the first spell resolves and casts another "kill it" spell
I can respond to that by tapping Eater of the Dead to mill and activate his ability again over and over again no mater what is put on the stack other than "split second" right? essentially God Mode?

Yes, provided Eater of the dead has no summoning sickness, this interaction is valid. Remember that in order for an object on the stack to resolve, both players have to pass priority; thus, you can keep adding activated abilities from Eater to the stack in response to "kill" spells.
