Totem de l'avarice : mode d'emploi

On 2004-06-09 07:26, Crapaud message: Petites questions à propos du totem de l'avarice : * Que se passe-t-il lorsque le totem de l'avarice n'est plus e jeu à la résolution de la capacité... est ce que j'acquiers le permanent de mon adversaire et lui rien ? OU est-ce que la capacité ne peut se résoudre, faute de cibles ? * la capacité du totem peut etre utiliée sans avoir besoin de l'engager... Que se passe-t-il si j'utilise la capacité du totem sur tous les permanents de mon adversaire (les uns après les autres, sans attendre la résolution de la première utilisation). Est ce que je récupère le dernier permanent que j'ai ciblé ET tous les autres, bien que le totem soit déjà sous son ontrôle ? Ou est ce que je dois me contenter juste du dernier, faute de cibles ?

G5.20 - Exchange G5.20a - A spell or ability may instruct two players to exchange something (for example, life totals or control of two permanents) as part of its resolution. When such a spell or ability resolves, if it can't exchange the chosen things, it has no effect on them. Example: If a spell attempts to exchange control of two target creatures but one of those creatures is destroyed before the spell resolves, the spell does nothing to the other creature. Or if a spell attempts to exchange control of two target creatures but both of those creatures are controlled by the same player, the spell does nothing to the two creatures. [CompRules 2003/07/01] G5.20b - When control of two permanents is exchanged, each player simultaneously gains control of the permanent that was controlled by the other player. [CompRules 2003/07/01] G5.20c - When life totals are exchanged, each player gains or loses the amount of life necessary to equal the other player's previous life total. Replacement effects may modify these gains and losses, and triggered abilities may trigger on them. [CompRules 2003/07/01] G5.20d - Some spells or abilities may instruct a player to exchange cards in one zone with cards in a different zone (for example, cards removed from the game and cards in a player's hand). These spells and abilities work the same as other "exchange" spells and abilities, except they can exchange the cards only if all the cards are owned by the same player. [CompRules 2003/12/01] G5.20e - If a spell or ability instructs a player to simply exchange two zones, and one of the zones is empty, the cards in the zones are still exchanged. [CompRules 2003/07/01]

Phyrexian Infiltrator Color= Black Type= Creature - Minion Cost= 2B IN(R) Text (IN+errata): 2/2. ; {2}{U}{U}: Exchange control of ~this~ and target creature. (This effect doesn't end at end of turn.) [Oracle 2002/03/01] The exchange normally only does something useful if this card is controlled by a different player than the target creature at the time the ability resolves. [D'Angelo 2000/10/14] There is no effect if the same player controls both creatures when it resolves. [Jordan 2001/12/14] It is possible to play this ability in response to itself and generate some odd combinations. For example, if you control this card and another creature, you can use this card's ability and target the creature you control. You can then use this card's ability again and target a creature your opponent controls. The second usage resolves first and you get your opponent's creature in exchange for this one. The first usage then resolves and swaps your other creature for the Infiltrator so you get it back. The net effect is that you can swap any creature you have for any of theirs if you can pay this ability twice. Note that your opponent does get the chance to use the Infiltrator if they have the mana in between your two usages and can mess you up. [Invasion FAQ 2000/10/03]

From Saturday School #80 by Rune Horvik, Saturday, May 29, 2004: Q: Can I use Avarice Totem's ability to target something, sacrifice it to Grinding Station and still get my opponents permanent? A: This won't work. Whenever you make an "exchange", you have to give something away to get something, and if you can't give the Totem away, you won't get your opponent's permanent, the ability will do nothing. See "Exchange" in the Glossary of the Comprehensive Rulebook
