Sudden Spoiling

Artist: Alan Pollack

[magicjudge]

If Warkite Marauder's ability or Sudden Spoiling affect a creature with auras, equipment, and the bonus from Rogue's passage, what added abilities are nullified and what remains?

It all boils down to layers and timestamps.

Any abilities gained after Sudden Spoiling will still be there. Abilities from auras/equipment won’t. Any effects that give a plus or minus to the creature’s P/T will still apply, including counters, as well effects that swap power and toughness. Rogue’s Passage’s effect can’t be removed since it’s not granting an ability.

my opponent controls worldspine wurm, I cast sudden spoiling and another spell that kills it. Does it stay in the graveyard?

No, Worldspine Wurm’s ability will still trigger from the graveyard.

Why? Because Worldspine Wurm’s ability isn’t a death trigger but rather a general zone-change trigger. Death triggers and leaves-the-battlefield triggers follow different rules from other zone change rules in that they look at the object as it last existed on the battlefield whereas other zone change triggers look at the object as it exists in its new zone. This is the case because these triggers can often trigger after the card moves from a hidden zone (e.g. hand or library) to a public zone.

I have sheoldred as my general. I have massacre wurm on my grave yard. On my turn, can I cast sudden spoiling before bringing back massacre wurm from grave yard due to sheoldreda ability?

Yes.

The trigger will already be on the stack targeting Massacre Wurm in your graveyard, so your opponents will know what you’re up to, though.

Sudden Spoiling against a player with a god out. What is the god?

If the God was already a creature, then it will become a 0/2 creature with no abilities.

If I have an emrakul on the battlefield can my opponent cast sudden spoiling then path to exile and target emrakul with path

Yes. After Sudden Spoiling resolves, Emrakul will no longer have “Protection from colored spells,” so Path to Exile will be able to legally target it.
