What if you activate the ability of a Mirror-Mad Phantasm token with no other Phantasms in the deck?
Asked by Cirdan13 12 years ago
First a bit of background:
I have been playing around with 2 deck ideas deck:seriously-bruna and deck:seance-swarm-1. Both are works in progress but I was wondering if I combined some of the ideas into one deck and use the Mirror-Mad Phantasm and Seance together. What I am wondering though is if your only copy or all of your copies of the Phantasm are in your graveyard and your Seance one for a token and then activate the ability of the token to shuffle him into your library and then dig for a copy. Obviously the token would not get shuffled into your library so you would then burn through your whole deck. What happens then? Does the effect just fizzle out once there are no more cards to reveal? Would you lose? I don't think you would since the effect of the Phantasm isn't a draw effect. I am wondering because this could be a quick and effective way for you to use Laboratory Maniac or even Psychic Spiral (refill your library before you draw and empty your opponents library at the same time).
You won't lose immediately, but you would mill the whole library. However, again, you would not lose until you drew another card.

From gatherer: 2011/9/22 If no card named Mirror-Mad Phantasm is revealed (possibly because it was a card copying Mirror-Mad Phantasm or it was a token), all cards from that library will be put into their owner's graveyard.the library will be empty, and you will lose the game the next time you would be required to draw a card.

Ok, that's what I thought. I can certain have some fun with this. Thanks for the quick answers.

Sorry, didn't proofread and some of the wording and grammar are off and so is some of the formatting.
