I watched a 5 part video for MTG and it seems pretty cool. The video was cheesy but the game mechanics seem alright.
Questions:
Does summoning a creature require me to tap field cards? Or is it only to attack with that creature?
If both players have two creatures, and it's my turn, can I combine the efforts of my creatures for an attack on just one of my opponent's creatures? Ex. my 3/2 and 2/2 attack a 1/4 creature and destroys it.
How and when are field cards destroyed?
"Counter target creature spell." A creature's spell is just their regular attack, right? Or is it to negate a special effect
"Exchange control of two target creatures." Why would I want my opponent's creature if the chances are it belongs to a field type that I have none of? I wouldn't be able to use it, would I?
Oh god. Pls no.
Going to assume not trolling.
They're land cards/Mana. You only tap them to summon the creature.
You can attack with both creatures and your opponent can block one for each creature he has, each creature can only block one creature unless otherwise noted. The defending/blocking player decides how the creature block and you decide how your damage is divide/delt. You can however block one creature with multiple creatures and combine them in the way you're describing.
There are a few cards that destroy land cards. It's not something you typically have to worry about.
Countering a target creature spell is a player "summoning" the creature. If your opponent says "I cast Random Goblin" you can counter it before it ever touches the field in which case it goes into the graveyard.
If you exchange creatures, you can use them freely, you just can't use any abilities they might have that you don't have mana for. The text stated in that way would also imply that in a free for all you could exchange control of two creatures with two players not yourself, should you want to turn the tide of the battle for political reasons or you don't have a creature yourself.
The main thing I suggest you get a firm grasp of is how the stack works in magic. It's like a key part of the game.
I hope this answered any questions trolling or not. I'd go into more details but I'm pressed for time lol. MTG nerds feel free to correct me.
