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??
ok, the way it's worded I wasn't sure what it was saying

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?

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).
raithe000 says... Accepted answer #1
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.
