If I pay Giantbaiting's conspire cost by tapping Lobber Crew, does the Lobber crew then untap?

Asked by lapeste47 6 years ago

I'm curious after looking at PacoqueiroBR's Slow Burn Deck.

Yes Giantbaiting is multicolored spell and thus casting it triggers Lobber Crew.

The Lobber Crew's untap ability will trigger once the spell finished being cast (that is, all the costs are paid), before it resolves. Because conspire is a cost the Lobber Crew can be tapped to pay the cost it will trigger afterward and untap, as you want it to.

Wait, I have a related question.

What if I have two Lobber Crews out when I play the Giantbaiting? Can I make an infinite loop by repeatedly tapping them to pay the conspire on the copies of Giantbaiting? Thanks in advance Neotrup

No, Conspire is additional cost and can only be payed when casting the spell. Copies are just put onto stack. They are never cast, so you can't pay Conspire cost.
