Flickering Mangara’s Tome
Asked by TheNerdry 3 years ago
Hey guys, what happens if I cast Mangara's Tome, search for the five cards and stick them under it, then flicker the Tome, or can I use Strionic Resonator to copy the ability to get two piles of five? If I flicker and/or copy, can I draw from both piles or just the second? What zone are the piles technically in? And what happens to the Tome once all the cards are drawn; can I flicker it again? Thanks!

It is very important to read the oracle text here. The errata-ed wording in very different from the original. The oracle text says that the piles are exiled and face-down.
First, if you flicker Mangara's Tome, it will not "remember" the cards that were exiled underneath it previously. You will search for 5 more cards and exile those in a seperate face-down pile. Any previous cards remain exiled face-down. So, Flickering the Tome once the cards are all gone isn't a concern because the new Tome won't "remember" its past existence on the battlefield.
You can use Strionic Resonator to copy the trigger. In this case, you will create two separate piles. Activating the Tome will put the top card of each pile into your hand when trying to draw your next card that turn.
Hope this helps!!
