Yes it will. I have literally had this happen at a Regionals with a judge ruling and all, so I am sure. Just make sure to note that the “untap” part of the effect happens as the effect resolves, so even though you get two extra combat phases, the untaps still happen at the start of the first combat phase when both triggers resolve (i.e. you will not get to untap for the 2nd additional combat phase)

You have 3 posts in this thread now promoting Semblance Anvil, just curious why you’re pushing it so hard. It’s unplayed in Standard for a reason.

The game will not check if the creature’s supposed to die in the middle of resolving an effect.

If the damage is prevented, it can’t be redirected.
You can target a planeswalker as long as your spell says “target planeswalker” or maybe “target permanent”. Lightning bolt can only target creatures or players.

I love playing sealed, but to be honest if you want to be finishing competitively you pretty much have to try to play perfectly and build your sealed pool perfectly. There are so many things outside your control (sealed pool, pairings, luck of the draw) that you have to maximize the things you do have control over. I usually assume I’m going to lose at least one match to mana screw, so the rest of the games I have to play perfectly since x-2 will usually not top8
It is also easy to look at the players at the top table and just assume they were so lucky with what they got with their sealed pools, but the truth is there are equally as many people with awesome sealed pools who fall to imperfect builds or plays.

Are you sure? My impression is that they were only using Silverlight for prototyping.

“discard” means “To move a card from its owner’s hand to that player’s graveyard.”
Refer to Discard in the glossary at the end of http://www.wizards.com/magic/comprules/MagicCompRules_20101001.txt (warning: very long text file)

Your old cards might still be relevant in Eternal formats called Vintage and Legacy. These are formats that allow cards from any period of MTG, with some exceptions.
Do you prefer playing online or IRL? If you collect cards on Magic Online, they can be “redeemed” in full sets, i.e. if you have one of each card from the set Zendikar on Magic Online, they can be redeemed for one of each Zendikar card IRL. However, redemptions are not always available, it depends on whether they have paper cards in stock to redeem the online cards. I have personally never redeemed MtgO cards.
If you don’t have a lot of resources (i.e., don’t have a lot of money) and want to play IRL, I suggest you look for a group of friends that you can play with casually at first. Depending on your experiences with them you may be able to transition into more serious play by borrowing cards, etc.

You’re welcome. I think it’s happened to me twice now that I got free wins at a prerelease due to my opponent using the promo card.
Actually, if you get a non-promo Wurmcoil Engine, you should almost certainly play it, no matter what deck you have. :D

When you get your promotional prerelease card (Wurmcoil Engine) do NOT include it in your deck, you will get a game loss for that.
It’s fine if you play a non-promo Wurmcoil Engine from your sealed pool.

There’s plenty of reasons to try out a tournament-level deck in the casual room. Maybe you’re tweaking it and want to try out a few draws or learn how it works before going to the Tournament Practice room. Maybe you don’t have a sideboard yet. Maybe you want more varied opponents.
