cloudshift fizzling goryo's vengeance or footsteps of the goryo?

Asked by demonicbunny 10 years ago

Working on a reanimator deck and was wandering if i could use Cloudshift to keep my creatures around after Goryo's Vengeance or Footsteps of the Goryo

There are much better ways to win off Goryo's vengeance. Griselbrand and Fury of the Horde is the best way. Putting in Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is pretty solid as well

Yes you can. It's also fun to steal an opponents creature, then cloudshifting that to gain control of it.

Yep this works just fine.I've used Footsteps and Momentary Blink together to achieve the same effect, dunno how this would be any different.

Rules questions belong in the Q&A, which is linked in the header bar. I can't move this to the Q&A, so I'm going to move it to BE.

tireless job you have there sir Epochalyptik

I'd be interested to see a graph on how many times a person has a question moved to BE before they actually use the Q&A. Im curious what the average is now lmao

I don't understand how you use either footsteps or vengeance with Mr. spaghetti monster.

You can put Emrakul, the Aeons Torn into your graveyard, then cast Goryo's Vengeance in response to Emrakul, the Aeons Torn 's triggered ability.

Oh you can do that before he shuffles in?

Yes. As I said, you can respond to the ability. Not with Footsteps of the Goryo , which is a sorcery, but with Goryo's Vengeance .

Also, to your title, Cloudshift doesn't make anything fizzle.

To fizzle is to be countered by game rules or having no legal targets on resolution.

The only way to make either Footsteps of the Goryo or Goryo's Vengeance fizzle is to exile the target creature card in a graveyard (or otherwise remove it from the graveyard). The delayed triggered ability that causes you to either sacrifice or exile the creature at the end of the turn doesn't target anything, so it can't fizzle.
