Usually, those resources are not described in detail unless they matter for the scenario.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The scenario description contains all the relevant information about the game state. If something is not mentioned, then it&#8217;s not part of the game state or it doesn&#8217;t influence the correct answer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All game actions taken by the players are legal. The only exception are questions where one or more of the potential answers claim the opposite; usually, those answers start with &#8220;This can&#8217;t happen as described.&#8221; In such cases, a game action <em>may<\/em> have been illegal. Determining whether that&#8217;s the case is key to that question.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Each question provides Oracle text for all cards mentioned in the scenario. You can click on the text to show or hide card images. Italicized card names in the scenario description should also have a tooltip displaying the card&#8217;s rules text for quick reference.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Judge organizations differ in what resources they allow for different kinds of tests. Update quizzes are generally open-internet, while certification tests are open-book or closed-book. Pick whatever works best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Question 1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-grid wp-container-core-group-is-layout-9649a0d9 wp-block-group-is-layout-grid\">\n<details class=\"wp-block-details has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"background-color:#f5f5f5;font-style:normal;font-weight:100\"><summary>Archangel of Tithes<br>{1}{W}{W}{W}<br>Creature \u2013 Angel<br>3\/5<br>Flying<br>As long as this creature is untapped, creatures can&#8217;t attack you or planeswalkers you control unless their controller pays {1} for each of those creatures.<br>As long as this creature is attacking, creatures can&#8217;t block unless their controller pays {1} for each of those creatures.<\/summary>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gatherer-static.wizards.com\/Cards\/medium\/E49895118399248C58868950DFB2D2056F2708B7F1CCAC9AEE228B0814F93E96.webp\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"background-color:#f5f5f5;font-style:normal;font-weight:100\"><summary>Turtle-Duck<br>{G}<br>Creature &#8211; Turtle Bird<br>0\/4<br>{3}: Until end of turn, this creature has base power 4 and gains trample.<\/summary>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gatherer-static.wizards.com\/Cards\/medium\/038EAC657784CEBE0AF360848D39BB8F82A84635792CAAA32E427E8095711593.webp\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"background-color:#f5f5f5;font-style:normal;font-weight:100\"><summary>Michelangelo, Improviser<br>{3}{G}<br>Legendary Creature &#8211; Mutant Ninja Turtle<br>4\/4<br>Sneak {2}{G}{G} <em>(You may cast this spell for {2}{G}{G} if you also return an unblocked attacker you control to hand during the declare blockers step.

In this scenario, Nicolas controls both Astrid and Arnold for the duration of their turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The controlling player makes all decisions the controlled player is allowed or required to make<a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R7225\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"> [CR 722.5]<\/a>. In this scenario, Nicolas may have Astrid cast any spell or activate any ability she can legally cast or activate. This includes North Wind Avatar and the abilities of Northampton Farm, Ray Fillet, and Escape Tunnel. However, all decisions must be legal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The effect of Northampton Farm\u2019s third ability instructs Astrid to put one of the exiled creature cards onto the battlefield. This effect is not optional, so Nicolas cannot force Astrid to skip that instruction; he has to choose one of the cards on her behalf and have her put that card onto the battlefield <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R6082c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">[CR 608.2c]<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The activation cost of Ray Fillet\u2019s ability requires Astrid to remove a +1\/+1 counter from a creature she controls. In a Two-Headed Giant game, the players on a team share their life total, their poison counters, and their turns, but all other resources behave as normal <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R8105\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">[CR 810.5]<\/a>. Notably, each permanent is still controlled by exactly one player, so Astrid cannot remove a +1\/+1 from a creature controlled by Arnold, nor can Nicolas force her to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The effect of Escape Tunnel\u2019s first ability instructs Astrid to search her library for a basic land card. If a player searches a zone for one or more cards with a specific quality, that player is not required to find these cards <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R70123b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">[CR 701.23b]<\/a>. In this scenario, Nicolas may decide that Astrid does not find a basic land card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the controlled player has access to information about an object in the game, the controlling player also has access to that information; the same does not apply to information about cards outside the game <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R7224\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">[CR 722.4]<\/a>. In this scenario, if Astrid had the option to choose a card she owns with specific qualities from outside the game, Nicolas would most likely be unable to make a legal decision on Astrid\u2019s behalf, as he doesn\u2019t know the qualities of the cards Astrid owns outside the game. However, the only restriction the effect of North Wind Avatar\u2019s ability puts on the chosen card is that Astrid owns it. By necessity, Nicolas knows the owner of each card outside the game, so he can always make a legal choice on Astrid\u2019s behalf for the effect of North Wind Avatar\u2019s ability (choosing a random card she owns if necessary).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this question appeared on a judge quiz instead of a rules quiz, the scenario would likely be changed to happen at a tournament, which would change the correct answer for North Wind Avatar. The Magic Tournament Rules state that cards outside the game are restricted to those in a player\u2019s sideboard (with one undocumented exception not relevant to North Wind Avatar). They also state that the controlling player cannot have the controlled player access their sideboard <a href=\"https:\/\/wpn.wizards.com\/en\/rules-documents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">[MTR 3.16]<\/a>. In this scenario, Nicolas could not have Astrid choose a card from her sideboard for the effect of North Wind Avatar\u2019s ability.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:2em\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> An assortment of judge-test-style rules questions for Magic: The Gathering | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":479,"featured_media":2224,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"language":[],"class_list":["post-2195","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rules-quiz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2195","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/479"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2195"}],"version-history":[{"count":30,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2195\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2228,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2195\/revisions\/2228"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2224"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2195"},{"taxonomy":"language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/language?post=2195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
