Does this mean that you don’t pay resist costs then until you target a unit? I had always understood that resist cost modify the cost of a spell, but if you don’t choose targets until resolution, it means that resist costs are paid at different point in time to the cost of a spell.
I think it is similar to how attacking with Obliterate lets you choose targets during the course of the attack. When you start your attack, you declare it against a valid target, then obliterate could kill that target or otherwise make that target illegal, and then you choose a new target during the course of resolution.
But I could be crazy.
Young Treant. Can’t attack. If buffed with +1/+1 tokens, can it hit back if patrolling or otherwise defending?
yes. it means it cannot attack during ur turn, but as patroller works normally.

I have a couple of multipart questions about how Polymorph Squirrel interacts with other things:
-
As per the Midori Midband ruling, “Any text is an ability” Does this include non-standard detrimental effects? So if I Polymorph my Young Treant into a Squirrel does it lose the ability “Can’t Attack”? Does having my Twilight Baron allow me to play a Tech II or III before the baron reverts? Does Polymorphing my own Blackhand Dozer remove both the limit on damaging an opposing base and the detrimental death effect?
-
How does “with no abilities until your next upkeep” interact with abilities granted from other sources? Are Polymorphed Squirrels unable to benefit from abilities granted by Patrol Zone slots while Polymorphed ? What about resist from Calamandra’s Midband? If my opponent has a Moss Ancient out and I Polymorph their Gigadon into a Squirrel is the ex-Gigadon Squirel invisible? If I have a Fox’s Den School and a pair of Masked Raccoons out and my opponent uses Versatile Style on their turn in order to Polymorph one of my Raccoons into a Squirrel, what happens - do I still have a pair of Cute Animals and a Pair of Ninjas for purposes of the non-polymorphed Raccoon’s abilities? And on my turn, after Versatile Style’s detection ability ends, are they both Invisible due to Fox’s Den School or is the Polymorphed one visible due to the “no abilities” clause of Polymorph Squirrel?
-
Yes to everything.

Polymorph removes the unit’s own abilities, it doesn’t prevent new ones from being applied. So cala’s midband, moss ancient, etc will all work. In the double-raccoon case, the Squirrel unit does not have any subtypes, so the other raccoon will lose its bonuses. On your turn, the Squirrel will be visible because it doesn’t have the subtypes ninja or cute animal - it has nothing to do with abilities.

When a building stolen through Assimilate is destroyed, it goes to the original owner’s discard pile, right?
Yes, any stolen cards including buildings/units/upgrades/ongoing spells are all returned to their owner’s discard pile when destroyed.

If an Illusion becomes Indestructible and get targeted, does it like stay forever? Seems a pretty powerful combo with Present Immortal and Truth Hero deck. Two Immortal is already a pain to deal with, having 4 of them is really WOW.
Keep in mind that the mirror-Immortals get trashed when Quince dies, though. It’s a pretty powerful combo nonetheless if your opponent doesn’t have access to flying or direct damage/removal.
if the mirror immortal gets targeted, gets sidelined, so is still prettty weaker than a real immortal.
How do Quince’s mirrors interact with Gilded Glaxx ?
Can a mirrored Gilded Glaxx be trashed if the gold requirement is met ?
Is it sidelined if targeted ?

Hello, two easy questions here:
Can you target with a spell a non patrolling unit if there is another unit patrolling?
Can a -1/-1 rune kill an indestructible 1/1 unit?
Thanks a lot!!
depend on the spell. if it says “do x to a patroller” then u cannot taget a non patroller.
If says “do x to a unit” u can choose whatever u want as a target.
-X runes do not kills indestructibles, even better , they sideline them forever. Let’s say ur opponent has a 1/1 mox and u a plague spitter. PS attacks mox, giving him 3 -1 runes making it -2/-2.
until the opponent does not put 3 +1 runes on mox(almost impossible) mox will be exausted and sidelined for the rest of the game.

Yes to the first unless there’s a flagbearer in play (they’re like a patrol zone for spells)
No, sort of, for the indestructible unit (it sort of winds up permanently sidelined but can be “revived” with a +1 rune)
There was an interesting discussion on this in the old forums a while ago. If Quince or the original Glaxx dies and you have spare gold lying around then they don’t leave play.
I don’t believe they’re sidelined when they’re targeted with gold requirement met either as ‘exhaust when would die’ is text relating specifically to indestructible units and the die effect just skips Glaxx instead.

dude, this is clearly wrong. i can believe they do not get trashed, but since they are mirrors, they count for quince’s limit. Like even if u put 2 birds nest, u always get only 2 birds, not 4. the copy, infact becomes a mirror glaxx, so is still a mirror.
Mirror Illusions that are copying something else DO still count toward your limit of 2 Mirror Illusion tokens. — Sirlin

Huh, I’m sure I saw mention of an ‘infinite Glaxx’ combo before… nevertheless, I apologize if that was wrong info and edited that part out of my post.
mate that would be broken. think about it. Quince gets mirror and plays unit A. mirror becomes A, and if u were right, he could make another mirror, play B etc. With a garrison and quince, u could double everything. The combo is alreadt powerful as it is (with mirror sarges, griphons, crashb, etc).

The infinite glaxx combo arises from the mirror that is put into play when quince arrives not being restricted by a limit; he always puts one into play.
So if you make two glaxxes then quince dies, then you play him again, you can make another glaxx with the new mirror.
