Neotrup on Barrin and Inalla legendary interaction

2 months ago

@ksleazy You can do that, however it will reasult in a 4 mana bounce with buyback, no card draw. As the sequence you described ends up with the real Barrin, Tolarian Archmage in your hand and the copy lost to the legend rule, there won't be one around on your end step to trigger drawing a card. You'll also notice that Gidgetimer prefaced the answer with "Bypassing the logic of why you would keep a token that only lasts until EOT over the original and just answering the questions" as the question assumed that the copy was the one being kept by the legend rule, rather than the real one, so all answers here kept with that assumption even though keeping the real one is an option.

if Vadrok, Apex of Thunder is mutated to another creature and my opponent cast lets say Barrin, Tolarian Archmage does my opponent have two options?

Can they target just Vadrok, Apex of Thunder or do both creature cards return to hand since they are technically one entity?

Well, much to my surprise Wizards made more ninjas. Added some new options to the deck, and swapped out some other creatures to make room for more ninjas of course. Glad to see some more ninjutsu mechanics as well as some nice additions like Spellskite and Barrin, Tolarian Archmage. Still have to go through all the new instants that have landed in the game to see if there are more ways to confound my opponents. Any suggestions are most welcome.
