Notion Thief

Asked by abenz419 11 years ago

does Notion Thief 's ability only work during their draw step, or is anytime they draw a card after their first one that turn??

Notion Thief's ability will function on any extra cards they draw during their draw step and on any cards they draw not during their draw step.

one other question... does it's ability only work on my turn? If I use underworld connections on my opponents turn, does Notion Thief 's ability cause my opponent to draw a card instead?

It always refers to your opponents. Even if you draw extra cards on your turn, you draw them normally. If one of your opponents would draw a card (other than their normal draw-for-turn), you draw instead, whether it is your turn or theirs.

oops I guess I was a little vague, I meant if my opponent has Notion Thief out. If I use Underworld Connections in order to draw a card on their turn, does Notion Thief cause my opponent to draw a card instead. Or does my opponents Notion Thief only effect me on my turn?

It will still affect you during their turn.

raithe000 is correct; my apologies for misinterpreting your followup question. A Notion Thief on the battlefield works during any player's turn. Your Underworld Connections will not by very useful while they have a Notion Thief (unless, for some reason, you want to pay life, tap a land that you couldn't otherwise tap, or force your opponent to draw a card).
