Trickbind + Twilight Sheperd
Asked by Eboksba 10 years ago
This one is self explanatory, but the interaction of a part of the situation is what I'm asking. Please leave evidence, as this one is a bit technical.
A boardwipe happens from another player in EDH. This is beneficial for player 1, who has Twilight Shepherd . Since it was his turn, and happened during combat, all of his creatures are gone, but he has a 2nd main phase.
He plays Twilight Shepherd .
Another player immediately plays Trickbind , targetting the ability of Twilight Shepherd .
The player who cast Twilight sheperd frowns, then thinks.At this point, the thought experiment splits into two things, One, he bounces it back to his hand and plays it again. (He somehow has lots of mana)Two, He casts Flicker on Twilight Shepherd.
The question is: What does Thoughtbind counter AFTER the effect is countered? It says until end of turn. Will this effect the card if it was recast during the same turn? Is this a broadcast state-based effect from Thoughtbind or does Thoughtbind resolve completely at the end of casting?

I'm assuming "Thoughtbind " was a typo in the last paragraph, and you meant Trickbind .
It's not nearly as complicated as you think. Trickbind can counter both triggered and activated abilities, but only prevents activated abilities of the same permanent from being activated again. It doesn't affect future triggered abilities; much less triggered abilities of different permanents that happen to share the name of the previously-affected permanent (since the card changed zones, the card is considered a new object).
An activated ability is one with a cost to activate, like Elvish Mystic . Triggered abilities always start with the words "when/whenever/at".
