Treacherous Trapezist rulings

2022-10-07
The words can be the same word. Casting Decisions, Decisions or Monitor Monitor will cause you to scry 2.
2022-10-07
An alliterative spell or creature can have other words in its name, capitalized or not, as long as it has two or more capitalized words that begin with the same letter. The two words don’t even need to be adjacent to one another.
2022-10-07
Questionable Cuisine is not alliterative. Celestial Crusader is. It’s true that in the real world, alliteration usually refers to the repetition of sounds at the beginnings of words, but it’s also true that porcupines are usually not very aerodynamic, so let’s not get hung up on reality, okay?

Treacherous Trapezist keyword rules

Scry Rule 701.18

To “scry N” means to look at the top N cards of your library, then put any number of them on the bottom of your library in any order and the rest on top of your library in any order.

If a player is instructed to scry 0, no scry event occurs. Abilities that trigger whenever a player scries won’t trigger.

If multiple players scry at once, each of those players looks at the top cards of their library at the same time. Those players decide in APNAP order (see rule ) where to put those cards, then those cards move at the same time.

An ability that triggers whenever a player scries triggers after the process described in rule is complete, even if some or all of those actions were impossible.

Flying Rule 702.9

Flying is an evasion ability.

A creature with flying can’t be blocked except by creatures with flying and/or reach. A creature with flying can block a creature with or without flying. (See rule , “Declare Blockers Step,” and rule , “Reach.”)

Multiple instances of flying on the same creature are redundant.
