Does Saheeli Rai's -2 work with Gonti's Aether Heart?

Asked by ShadySquirtle 7 years ago

Does Saheeli Rai's -2 work with Gonti's Aether Heart? Would i be able to copy Gonti's Aether Heart with Saheeli Rai's ability and then while her ability is on the stack use Gonti's Aether Heart's ability to exile it and get another turn and then when everything resolves still have the copied Gonti's Aether Heart on the field?? And then, if so, would i be able to take 2 extra turns if i had the energy available to exile the copied one?

No, this won't work. If all of a spell or ability's targets go missing or otherwise become illegal before it starts resolving, then the spell/ability will automatically get countered and will have no effect. In your example Saheeli Rai's ability will get countered and you won't get a copy of Gonti's Aether Heart.

Wait a sec.

You can always use it like this:

Use Saheeli -2 to target Gonti (original) to get another Gonti (copy), then assuming you can get 8 energy, use the Gonti (copy) by exiling it to get an extra turn. If you can get 4 artifact to enter the battlefield that turn, you can take an extra turn by exiling Gonti (original).

You can do that until your Saheeli don't have 2 loyalty to her anymore.

Nevermind it's a legendary, can't have two copies at the same time.
