Solemnity + Devoted Druid
Asked by TMBRLZ 6 years ago
Given that the cost of Devoted Druid's second activated ability is to "put a counter" on to it, and Solemnity's second static ability says that counters can't be put on objects, does that prevent you from paying the cost of Devoted Druid's second activated ability?
Or can you pay the cost, and activate the ability, and the result of a counter being placed just fizzle out?
(Potential infinite mana combo inbound)

its Vizier of Remedies you want with Devoted Druid, not Solemnity. Vizier makes it so you put one less, and when you activate Devoted's ability you are technically paying the cost of putting the counter on, but then Vizier says to put one less meaning you end up putting none. and yes it goes infinite.

However, if there is a Solemnity on the battlefield, cannot attempt to pay Devoted Druid's cost, even if you have a Vizier of Remedies making it so the cost wouldn't ultimately involve adding counters.

Made a deck made with these cards, Combos. Devoted Druids ability has a cost of putting a -1/-1 counter on it but if you can't pay that cost you won't be able to untap it so it will not work with Solemnity

You cannot attempt to pay a cost you are unable to pay. For example, if you have 1 life, you cannot pay 2 life. If you want to pay life with Platinum Emperion, you cannot
Similarly, if you have Melira, Sylvok Outcast or Solemnity, you cannot pay the cost of Devoted Druid's second ability.
