does Time Reversal kill Psychosis Crawler?

Asked by ZionZaiyer 14 years ago

If I used Time Reversal with my Psychosis Crawler out would Time Reversal kill the Psychosis Crawler ?

Psychosis Crawler would not check until after the entire spell has resolved. Time Reversal does not resolve until everything said on the card is done, so after you draw seven cards (Psychosis Crawler makes your opponent lose 7 life) and Time Reversal resolves, you would have 7 cards in hand and your crawler would be a 7/7.

KorApprentice has the right idea.

Pardon me for being a little nitpick, a card does have resolution time. A card starts to resolve after it is cast and when no other effects are put on the stack. It continues to resolve until everything on the card is done. There is no priority in between resolution, so Psychosis Crawler is never checked. (Like you said)

:]

I'm sorry thaimaishuu for not being clear, a spell is not considered fully resolved until it leaves the stack. This is why Psychosis Crawler does not die, the crawler does not check for it's state-based effect unless the stack is empty. I hope that clears it up a little and removes any future questions as well :)
