multiple taps
Asked by Aukiiraa 12 years ago
Ok, so two questions:
First, do things with multiple tap abilities trigger all the taps? Like, Prodigal Pyromancer with Lightning Prowess. Would that do two damage?
Second, Cavern of Souls. It gives one colorless when casting something that's not the chosen type, but what if it is? Does it give a colorless and color per tap (two mana), or only one color(one mana) and the creature is uncounterable?
Whenever a card has two separate activation costs (Whether they be two tap symbols, or two different amounts of mana to activate) you have to choose one. You can tap to do A, or you can tap to do B. You can't tap a tapped creature, so you'd have to untap it somehow to do both A and B.

To activate the ability of a card, you don't pay a cost and then activate all abilities with that cost, you choose which ability you want to activate and then pay the cost for that specific one. If Prodigal Pyromancer is enchanted with Lightning Prowess, you choose one ability to activate, then pay the cost for it - tapping the Pyromancer. Once you do that, you won't be able to activate the other ability because he's already tapped.
Likewise for Cavern of Souls. You decide which one of the mana abilities you want to activate, then tap Cavern to pay the cost of activating that specific ability. You don't get both.

First, the card would have both abilities but you choose only one. So the pyoromancer only deals one damage.
Second, cavern of souls will only give you one mana
