D. Roll a diceExplanation
In Magic: The Gathering, players roll dice to determine the starting player, adding an element of chance to the game's setup. The player with the higher roll decides whether to take the first turn or defer to their opponent. This initial decision can be strategically important, as going first grants a tempo advantage, but going second allows for responses to the opponent's opening moves.Rate this question:

The term "Sunburst" refers to when a permanent enters the battlefield with +1/+1 counters.

This mechanic is often seen in Magic: The Gathering, where it allows players to enhance the power and toughness of their creatures as they enter the battlefield.Rate this question:

Life-Link is a static ability
- B.
Life-Link gains you life
- C.
Life-Link is an ability
- D.
Multiple instances of life-link on the same object are redundant.
- E.
Life-Link is a dynamic ability
Correct Answer
E. Life-Link is a dynamic abilityExplanation
The given answer is correct because it states that "Life-Link is a dynamic ability," which contradicts the statement in the question that "Life-Link is a static ability." A static ability is always present and affects the object it is attached to, while a dynamic ability is activated and can be used at certain times. Therefore, if Life-Link is a dynamic ability, it cannot be a static ability as well, making the statement false.Rate this question:

Which of the following is NOT a permanent?
- A.
Creature
- B.
Mana
- C.
Instant
- D.
They are all permanents.
- E.
None of the Above
Correct Answer
C. InstantExplanation
An instant is not a permanent because it is a spell that is cast and then goes to the graveyard. Permanents, on the other hand, are cards that remain on the battlefield once they are played, such as creatures, lands, artifacts, and enchantments. While instants can have powerful effects and can be played at any time, they do not have a lasting presence on the battlefield like permanents do.Rate this question:

- D.

E. None of the AboveExplanation
The statement "None of the Above" is the correct answer because all of the statements listed about "wither" are true. Wither is a static ability that causes damage in the form of -1/-1 counters. The wither rules apply regardless of the zone from which an object with wither deals damage. Additionally, wither can indeed kill creatures by reducing their toughness to 0 or less.Rate this question:

This Term means "This permanent enters the battlefield with N time counters on it," "At the beginning of your upkeep, if this permanent has a time counter on it, remove a time counter from it," and "When the last time counter is removed from this permanent, sacrifice it."
Correct Answer
VanishingExplanation
Vanishing is a keyword ability that represents a permanent entering the battlefield with a certain number of time counters on it. At the beginning of the controller's upkeep, if the permanent still has a time counter on it, one time counter is removed. When the last time counter is removed, the permanent is sacrificed. This ability creates a temporary effect that gradually fades away, representing the gradual disappearance of the permanent from the battlefield.Rate this question:

This term means whenever this creature blocks or becomes blocked, it get +N/+N until end of turn.
Correct Answer
BushidoExplanation
Bushido is a term in Magic: The Gathering that represents a creature's ability to gain a power and toughness boost whenever it blocks or becomes blocked. The exact value of the boost is represented by the variable "N" in the explanation. This ability allows the creature to become stronger in combat, making it a formidable blocker or attacker.Rate this question:
- 8.
When a creature is equipped with This Ability no matter its power and toughness if another creature blocks that creature will always die.
Correct Answer
Deathtouch
Death TouchExplanation
Deathtouch is the correct answer because it is an ability that causes any creature blocking or blocked by a creature with Deathtouch to be destroyed. This ability is not dependent on the power or toughness of the creatures involved, meaning that even if the blocking creature has a higher power or toughness, it will still be destroyed. Death Touch, on the other hand, is not a recognized ability in the context of the question and does not have the same effect as Deathtouch.Rate this question:
