I'll admit, I don't actually know the correct answers for these questions. I think ante might not be quite so well supported anymore.
You know, Caldera just admitted to me he didn't know the answer to a question he submitted.

Day 4; Question 2
Show
Player A controls Recycle  . Player B controls Stasis  and Eon Hub  .
What happens when Player B's Ends Phase ends?
In player A's turn The Untap, Upkeep, and Draw steps are skipped. I see nothing special about whats happening here.

The rules you quote don't help at all. However, the relevant rule (502.42a) says you are right. One point.
We're grateful for the point... But, what you wrote is puzzling Us.
How is [502.42a] the "relevant" Rule in this situation, whereas [502.42b] is not?
[indent]502.42a Offering is a static ability of a card that functions in any zone from which the card can be played. "[Text] offering" means "You may play this card any time you could play an instant by sacrificing a [text] permanent. If you do, the total cost to play this card is reduced by the sacrificed permanent's mana cost."
502.42b [color=black]The permanent is sacrificed at the same time the spell is announced (see rule 409.1a).[/color] The total cost of the spell is reduced by the sacrificed permanent's mana cost (see rule 409.1f).[/indent]
[502.42b] explicitly states when the Permanent is sacrificed, [502.42a] doesn't.

You're trying to push my buttons, aren't you?

Though, nothing you stated is Wrong, We were looking for a response of "The Beginning Phase is skipped in its entirety."

If all the steps in a phase would be skipped, that phase never happens. Skip
directly to the next phase. This would happen if a player controlled Stasis,
Eon Hub, and Necropotence.
So, point you, We guess...
You're trying to push my buttons, aren't you?
Not at all. We were simply curious.
We thought that posting [420.42b] was sufficient, because it covers the relevant aspect of Offering that was addressed in the question.

Well this is a shorter resub of my earlier question.... hope its still not too big...or in too late... Player A and Player B are playing a casual game without using the official rules. Player A Has March Of The Machines  , Multani's Presence  , Liability  and Ajani Vengeant  . 16 basic lands Player B Has Mycosynth Lattice  , Underworld Dreams  , Carnival of Souls  and 17 lands, At the Start of Player b's turn both players are at 20 life. In player B's Main phase he plays Ajani Goldmane  followed by Ashcoat Bear  Player A then plays Dismiss  targeting Ashcoat Bear and Flashfreeze  on Ashcoat Bear If all regular rules and card interactions started affecting the game right now, without reversing any actions what would the life totals of the players be... A) As the stack is resolving? B) At the end of player B's Turn?

I haven't seen anyone label their questions with "day 5" yet, or any other indication that today's stumping has kicked off, so maybe people are having login trouble again? Anyway, here's my final day's questions. Day 5, Question 1
Show
Day 5, Question 2
Show
As promised... a licid.
A player controls Grizzly Bears  , a Juniper Order Advocate  , and a Vesuvan Shapeshifter  which is a copy of Enraging Licid  . He plays the VS's Licid ability to attach it to Grizzly Bears. At the beginning of his next upkeep, he wants to choose to turn it face down with the VS trigger. He then wants to pay   to turn it face-up and copy his Juniper Order Advocate . (If he is not able to do either or both of these things, he does nothing instead.) What are Grizzly Bears' characteristics (abilities, p/t), and where is the Vesuvan Shapeshifter?

Day 5; Question 1
Show
Player A is at 20 life and controls a Duskworker  and a Covetous Dragon  .
Player B is at 20 life and controls a Sickle Ripper  and a Grim Feast  .
Player B also controls an Ornithopter  that Player A owns, but it's enchanted by an Enslave  that Player B controls.
On Player A's Turn, he plays the second mode of Shriveling Rot  and declares the Duskworker and Covetous Dragon as Attacking.
Player B Blocks the Duskworker with his Sickle Ripper and the Covetous Dragon with his Ornithopter.
While Combat Damage is on the Stack, Player B plays Fling  , Targeting Player A, sacrificing his Sickle Ripper to pay the additional Cost.
Assuming no other actions are taken by either Player this turn, what are Player A's and B's lifetotal as the turn ends? Day 5; Question 2
Show
In a 4-Player Free-For-All game, the turn order is A - B - C - D.
Player B controls Words of Waste  .
It is Player D's Main Phase and each player has 2 cards in hand, Player D plays Prosperity  with an X of 3.
In response, Player B activates his Words of Waste 3 times.
After the Prosperity finished resolving, how many cards does each player have in their hand?
