Hive Mind / Donate interaction
Asked by Deathwing1983 1 year ago
Hi, I have a Donate deck which gives nice things to other players like Nine Lives and Delusions of Grandeur because I like to share. I thought I'd spice it up a little by including Hive Mind / Intervention Pact because I don't need to keep my friends anymore. However, I wondered if Hive Mind might interfere with Donate if it's on the table?
If I'm right I think that when everyone gets a free copy of Donate due to Hive Mind theirs will resolve first back along the stack so they can't just donate back to me the card I am donating (as they don't yet control it while their free Donate is on the stack)? Otherwise if they could just Donate back what I Donate to them then it's not worth putting Hive Mind in that deck...
Because Donate targets, it can only target something they controlled when they make the copy. That said, because Hive Mind says they may choose new targets, they are allowed to leave the target unchanged. Since it's targeting one of your permanents, the target will be illegal on resolution.

Opponent's copies from Hive Mind resolve before the original spell does. Your opponents can't regift your donations.
