Mindcrank doubt

Asked by Guizee 6 years ago

I'm trying to build a mill deck with blue/white/black and I came across two cards: Oloro, Ageless Ascetic and Mindcrank I'm wondering if Oloro will keep triggering Mindcrank or if any other card (i know that many black cards do this, like) that causes loss of life will trigger Mindcrank.

Oloro causes lifegain? Any cards that cause life loss will trigger Mindcrank, that's why it kills people with Duskmantle Guildmage or an active Bloodchief Ascension

MindAblaze oh thanks, I didn't know about those two cards! Adding them to my deck ;)One more doubt: if I equip Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker or Nemesis of Reason with Illusionist's Bracers will their effects trigger without attacking twice?

An activated ability is something denoted as "Cost:effect." More along the lines of Oona, Queen of the Fae.

Mirko and NoR have triggered abilities. Triggered abilities are indicated by the words if, when or whenever followed by a qualifying event and an effect. When...deals combat damage/attacks...thing"

So no, Illusionist's Bracers won't effect them. You want Strionic Resonator
