I lnow you dont like the flavor of bees and wasps in green. But what about......Flying Squirrels!?

I don't like flying in Green.

Regarding Infect. Do you think it would help if players had ways to remove poison counters (however easy or difficult) The -1/-1 counters doesnt seem, to me, to be a problem. Its poison and proliferate together that caused me to get angry....

It's a common request, but I think it would lessen the mechanic for people who do like it more than it would make those who don't enjoy it like it more.

From a game design standpoint, care more about the audience that loves something than those that hate it. I'm not interested in everyone liking it at the sake of no one loving it.

Nahiri the harbinger can exile an untapped theros god creature right? Because its still an enchantment.

Yes.

Just making sure. If i flicker a transformed creature, like new red avacyn, it comes back into play with the front side up. (So white avacyn) Yes?

Correct.

A double-faced card always enters the battlefield with its front face up unless a spell or ability says to do otherwise.

Just checking something that came up last night. If i have the creature Teferi out, and an opponent puts out isochron scepter with a counterspell on it. Can they use the scepters ability to counter my spells?

They can activate Isochron Scepter, but when the ability resolves they won’t be able to cast the copy of Counterspell because it’s not a time when they could normally cast a sorcery, so Teferi prohibits it.

I just discover a wierd old card Earthlink. If i make all lands creatures (quite a few different ways) and if i kill an opponents creature-land, does Earthlink's ability go off until my opponent no longer has any lands?

Eeyup :)

i have Master Apothecary and two 2/2 bears. my opp. attacks with a 2/3 death touch and i double block to kill it. When the order of damage is decided can i prevent 2 damage to the 1st bear to keep "lethal damaged" from being assigned to my 2nd bear?

No.

Damage assignment doesn’t take damage prevention effects into account when determining what counts as lethal damage. Because the attacking creature has deathtouch, your opponent can still assign 1 damage to each of the blockers to kill the second bear.

Isochron Scepter is worded kind wierd. If I use it to cast a spell targeting only Zada Hedron Grinder does Zada's ability go off?

Yes. You’re casting the copy of the exiled card on the Scepter, so Zada will trigger if it targets only her.
