Asked by xo2 14 years ago

how does Hellcarver Demon s ability work?? It deals damage,i sac and discard everything, and exile the top six cards, then i cast any exiled cards. am i right?? and can i do this at any time??

if i have to sac an Emrakul, the Aeons Torn , when would i shuffle it into my library??

i would assume during the time emrakul hits the grave he goes "wtf i dont belong here, cmon guys lets go play over here" and grabs the gy and shuffles the deck with himself.

the real question is how do u sac an emrakul? u didnt win by this point? lol just wondering

In this case, Emrakul wouldn't shuffle your graveyard in until after Hellcarver Demon has finished resolving. The sacrifice and exile effects both happen one after the other, the whole thing has to resolve before any other abilities can.

But you wouldn't swing with Hellcarver if you controlled an Emrakul, unless your opponent is on 6 life and has a flying blocker.

Maybe he does not sac Emrakul but discards him. Then I would say it works like this:

You Sac everything, discards everything and exile 6 cards. Then your Emrakul and your graveyard is reshuffled in your library.

The exiled spells could be cast anytime whenever you want, i guess.

The way Hellcarver Demon is written, the spells are cast during the resolution of his ability. You make all the choices for them, etc., but they won't actually be put on the stack until the ability is finished resolving (and you choose what order they go on). Anything you didn't choose to cast during Hellcarver's ability stays exiled, and is not castable unless some other effect somehow gives you access to them.

Siegfried is right about Emrakul. Something to keep in mind is that since you're putting his triggered ability on the stack at the same time as the spells you cast, you can decide what order it goes on. This means you can have it resolve last, shuffling the non-permanent spells you cast back into your library.
