What happens when both opponets have Archetype of Imagination?

Asked by MrWorldwide 11 years ago

I am just curios. Does every creature has flying, none of them, or what?

Neither of them will. Normally for global effects, timestamp order wins the day and the newest effect takes precedence, but since one of their abilities says that the opponent's creatures can't have -or- gain the ability, yours will give all of yours flying and then prevent theirs from ever getting it, and theirs will fail to give theirs flying because of yours, but then also prevent your creatures from ever having or gaining flying.

Two archetypes means no creatures have that ability and no creatures can gain that ability.

Can't always takes precedence over can. Because both Archetypes say that opponents' creatures can't have flying, nothing has flying.

101.2. When a rule or effect allows or directs something to happen, and another effect states that it can't happen, the "can't" effect takes precedence.Example: If one effect reads "You may play an additional land this turn" and another reads "You can't play land cards this turn," the effect that precludes you from playing lands wins.

This means that they both effectively counter each others effect that gives creatures flying.
