How Barbarian Class + Wyll, Blade of Frontiers + Pixie Guide interact with each other?

Asked by pedroedmarcos 1 year ago

Hey there,

I never realized that we got that many "advantage" card effects on mtg nowadays, but if I controll all of them how many dices am I rolling? Just 2 and ignoring the lowest result, or do they stack each other and I get to roll 4 dices and just pick one?

Unlike in DnD, they stack. You'd roll 4 dice and pick the highest.

Is there a rule specific that says that so I can show it to my playgroup ?

There's not a rule specific for this "advantage" mechanic, it just uses the normal rules for replacement effects. If multiple replacement effects could apply to how an event affects a player or object, the affected player or controller of the affected object (or owner, if it has no controller) chooses one of them to apply. If the modified event could still be affected by other replacement effects that haven't been applied yet, that player chooses one of those to apply to the modified event.

In this example each replacement effect adds one more die to the event, on top of any other replacement effects that were applied before it. It's the same concept as having multiple effects that say a creature enters the battlefield "with an additional +1/+1 counter".

How would all of these work with a card like reckless endeavor?

Reckless Endeavor has you roll two dice simultaneously, so if you have a single Barbarian Class out, you'd roll three and ignore the lowest, getting to choose the two effects from the two higher ones. If you have three advantage-granting abilities, then you'd roll five (an additional three), and ignore the lowest three.

Something like Elvish Impersonators (silver-bordered, I know) has you roll two dice but do it sequentially. In that case, you'd roll an additional die for each advantage-granting effect you have each time. IE if you have three out, then you'd roll four dice for the first effect (ignoring the lowest three), then do it again.
