Handful of questions-EDH interactions
Asked by Suns_Champion 6 years ago
Some random questions and confirmations I need for my new EDH deck.
1) Past in Flames with Wheel of Fate in the yard. Do I pay 0 for the wheel or ?
2) Commune with Lava: it says "until your next turn" not "until end of turn", so I can play it on my turn, play instants on my opponents' turns proceeding that, and then finish up on my next turn? Just confirming this one.
3) If I play Rolling Earthquake for say, X=80, and my opponent has an Exquisite Archangel out, would the angel save my opponent even though the angel would die too? I think it would but not 100% sure.
4) Reiterate: If I have tons of mana, can I repeatedly cast and buyback Reiterate and target the same spell on the same stack?
Thanks in advance!

Rhadamanthus appreciate the help friend! Sad about the wheel and past in flames. Oh well. Thanks again!

You can't cast Wheel of Fate at all. Past in Flames will give it an empty flashback cost, just like its mana cost, and empty costs can't be paid
Yes, that's how it works
Yes, Exquisite Archangel will save your opponent. State-based-actions (SBAs) are checked and executed simultaneously. Destroying a creature with lethal marked damage and losing the game for 0 or less life are both SBAs. The Angel's effect will get applied and set your opponent's life to the starting total. Your opponent will choose whether to exile the Angel or put it into the graveyard
Yes, that's fine. Everyone always gets a chance to make responses before the top object on the stack starts resolving. You can keep responding with Reiterate while the original spell you want to copy is still on the stack somewhere.
