Do devoid spells trigger Ramos, Dragon Engine's ability? I am guessing no, but wanted to make sure there is no weird rule interaction. Also I assume it doesnt trigger Invoke Prejudice either?

Yes, they do, but only because every spell triggers Ramos.

Devoid spells are colorless. Colorless spells have no color. Ramos’s trigger from a devoid spell won’t add any counters to Ramos.

So now that you got a 3rd unset printed and a big reason for that is the support that you were able to show through blogatog. How about you do the same for squirrels with the creative team? I know we will have them in the unsets, but some black border squirrels are what people have been asking for. I would argue that squirrels are greens comic relief iconic, and that the comic part of MTG does not only have to exist in the unsets.

The argument isn't about whether players want it or not. If that was the argument, I could win that. It has to do with how the brand, in black border, is represented. I can obviously throw in my two cents, as well as all of your two cents, but in the end isn't my call.

If a Curse becomes a creature does it unattach from the enchanted player and "poof!" Like a regular aura? Also, if Mirage Mirror copies a curse, which player if any is the the copy enchanting?

An aura that becomes a creature becomes unattached from whatever it was enchanting. An aura that’s not attached to something it can legally enchant will be put into its owner’s graveyard. This is true for Curses as well as other Auras.

If Mirage Mirror becomes a copy of an aura, it won’t be enchanting anything and will be put into its owner’s graveyard the next time state-based actions are checked.

What kind of counters do you use in playtesting dice or beads? Just curious.

Both. All the tables in the Pit have a bowl with both. I more often use dice for counters and beads for tokens.

If I control Willbreaker and I target another players creature with Rubinia Soulsinger, I would gain control of the creature because of Willbreakers ability. If I then untap Rubinia at my upkeep, would I lose control of the creature?

No.

Until Rubinia untaps, you have two effects giving you control of the creature: Rubinia’s ability and Willbreaker’s ability. When Rubinia’s ability ends, Willbreaker’s ability is still giving you control of the creature.

If you cast a spell with entwine with an ability that says "without paying its cost" can you pay the additional entwine cost to get both effects?

Entwine is an optional additional cost and can be paid when casting the spell without paying its mana cost.

If a player has Conspiracy in play can the creature type of be changed with Unnatural Selection? Or any other creature type changing effect that doesn't have the "in addition" rider?

Yes.

The most recent type changing effect will take precedence.

I sent you a question earlier and I refferenced the wrong card. What I meant to ask was this. If I give a card in my graveyard flashback with say Past in Flames, can I then cast Ruinic Repetition and return it to my hand before the end of turn?

No.

Once the card leaves the stack and goes to exile it becomes a new object and won’t have Flashback anymore.
