Card interaction Ovinomancer and Mirrorweave
Asked by ChaosJester 5 years ago
Hello,
I have Ovinomancer on the battlefield and I cast Mirrorweave . I play against two opponent's. Each of them have four creatures. As a result, eight creatures are changed to Ovinomancer. Then, these two opponent's decide to use Ovinomancer's ability to destroy the creatures of each other. How exactly does this interaction work?
Thank you!

Nothing too complicated here. The most likely outcome is that Players A and B will return all their creatures to hand.
Activating Ovinomancer requires you to tap it and put it back in your hand as part of the cost. Additionally, you have to select a target and if something targeted by the leaves the battlefield, the ability will fizzle and do nothing.
I assume the exchange of that went like that:
Player A: I activate Ovinomancer 1 targeting your ovinomancer 1!
Player B: In response, I activate my ovinomancer 1 to destroy your ovinomancer 2!
and so on.
This will continue until one of the two players has 1 ovinomancer left, at which point they can target it with its own ability to return it to their hand.
