Willbender is such a fun "wait what!?" Card. Here's an interesting one i don't think you've covered, theros gods and cards like grumgully or containment priest. Let's just say my opponent didn't like what happened when i cheated all my gods into play with world tree while he controlled containment priest
I'd love if you did a video on Chalice of the Void and how to handle/who is responsible for missed triggers if something that should have been countered by it isn't!
If you mean why morph isn't an activated ability, it's to prevent feels bad situations where opponents could respond to the unmorph with a removal spell. Imagine having a facedown Krosan Cloudscraper and you want to turn it faceup. Well, if it was an activated ability, your opponent could tell what it was by how much mana you spent on it and bolt it in response. You'd be out 9 mana in addition to your big beefy creature dying to a mere Lightning Bolt.
How does the new fallout card [[VATS]] work with morph since morphing is a special action and can be used in response to split second? If my opponent casts VATS, targeting two of my face down 2/2 morphs and I flip one of them face up revealing one to be a 1/3, does my opponent get to chose which one they destroy or does VATS fizzle? Thanks
Both targets are illegal. You can't untarget one of them just to make the other legal and making one illegal doesn't make the other one legal either because an illegal target is still a target. Since it has no legal targets, the spell fizzles.
It should be a 2/1 with no abilities. Dress Down causes Hexdrinker to lose all abilities. According to CR107.8, the entirety of the Level Up symbol - including the power and toughness - is an ability. 107.8. The text box of a leveler card contains two level symbols, each of which is a keyword ability that represents a static ability. The level symbol includes either a range of numbers, indicated here as "N1-N2," or a single number followed by a plus sign, indicated here as "N3+." Any abilities printed within the same text box striation as a level symbol are part of its static ability. The same is true of the power/toughness box printed within that striation, indicated here as "[P/T]." See rule 711, "Leveler Cards."
Here's a fun trick i don't think you have covered yet: Amy controls Asmodeus the Archfiend, a Phyrexian Tower, and a swamp. Can she use those lands to generate the BBB needed to activate the first activated ability of Asmodeus? Follow up: would the 7 cards go to her hand or to exile? Nevermind, you already covered this! 🤦♀️
Always remember! If your opponent has a morph, no matter the set, format, or colors of mana in your opponents deck, it’s always a willbender.
Hey, thank you for following my suggestion, I love morphs. It's morphin' time!

Nice vid, as always! Take care, you seemed slightly under the weather in that one!

That's a cool interaction.
Had to start playing will bender when split second was rampant in my edh playgroup, this got some people, lol.
Would like to see a more technical video which explains why unmorphing a creature can't be a triggered ability.
Probably something that specialized will have to be a Patron Pick or other Special Clip, perhaps I will try to work it into a conference presentation.

A question came up in my friend group today. How does Dress Down interact with a fully leveled Hexdrinker?
It should be a 2/1 with no abilities.
Dress Down causes Hexdrinker to lose all abilities.

24 boxes! No new one today? I love special actions! They're so weird sometimes. Hope you're having a good day!

This was covered in this episode: ua-cam.com/video/9b9I9-ipe-I/v-deo.html
@@miserepoignee9594 thanks. I missed that episode. Or just forgot those details. It was a long one!
