I control Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons and my opponent controls two creatures with toughness 2. I cast Black Sun's Zenith for X = 2. Do I get the snake tokens? A similar situation: Hapatra has wither and blocks a 2/2 creature. Do I get the token?

When Black Sun’s Zenith resolves, it puts two -1/-1 counters on each of the three creatures on the battlefield. Hapatra triggers three times from this.

If a creature you control with wither or infect deals damage to another creature, Hapatra will also trigger for that.

If you control the source of the -1/-1 counters, then Hapatra will trigger.

I've a few questions regarding Izzet Guildmage. They are connected, so I hope you don't mind me asking them all at once. When I play a Spell (e.g. "Mizzium Mortars") for its alternate cost its CMC doesn't change, am I right? Will the copy be overloaded? What about "Fall of the Titans", played with Surge and X=5; can I copy it?

The copy has the same choices made for it, so you can copy an overloaded Mizzium Mortars with the 2R ability of Izzet Guildmage and the copy will be overloaded as well.

Fall of the Titans cast with X=5 has a CMC of 11 (5+5+R), so it’s too expensive to copy with Izzet Guildmage.

I play against at least two opponent. I control a Propaganda and a Bident of Thassa. I activate the tap ability of the Bident. Now the question: Is the chosen opponent forced to attack?? If none of his lands are untapped is he still forced to attack my remaining opponent??

Your opponents creatures have to attack. They can choose to pay to attack you or they can attack your opponent for free, but each creature that can attack has to attack. If a creature can’t attack your other opponent for some reason, like Vow of Wildness for example, then your opponent isn’t forced to pay to make it attack you.

When the last ability of Demonic Pact resolves and I control a Platinum Angel nothing happens. Do I lose the game when the Angel is destroyed??

No.

Once Demonic Pact’s last mode has finished resolving, if something keeps you from losing the game, you’re safe and can’t lose the game because of it later.

I have an Arena and a Foe-Razer Regent. My opponent controls a Geist of Saint Traft and a Silent Arbiter. I use my Arena and target my Regent, my opponent chooses Saint Traft and says I can't target him, so he won't has to fight, but my Regent has to be tapped. Is he right?? Can he even choose Saint Traft?? I think he has to choose the Arbiter because he is his only legal target.

Your opponent has to choose a creature that’s a legal target for Arena.

We were talking about Realmwright and a doubt came up. If for example, you turn a forest into an island, does the mana it generate is either green or blue and you choose which, or generates both mana at once?

Having a basic land type inherently grants the affected land the ability to tap for a certain color. Being a Forest gives your land the ability “T: Add G to your mana pool.” Being an Island gives your land the ability “T: Add U to your mana pool.” And so on.

Being a Forest and an Island just means your land has both “T: Add G to your mana pool” and “T: Add U to your mana pool.” It doesn’t make those abilities mash together to make GU — you have to pick which ability you’re activating.

In other words, your Forest Island can tap for blue or green, but not both at once.
