Use Ability Cards in Magic: The Gathering

Video Transcript

"Hi this is Mike Lopez with Expert Village. Today we're going to be discussing Magic: the Gathering the card game. Now that attackers and blockers are set. Now abilities can be tripped as though damage is now on the stack. So, as we have this creature, going through, and I have mana open. I'm going to tap the mana and I'm going to Giant Growth the Elvish Handservant, which now makes him a 4/4, which is going to automatically go through. So we set that aside and then we have the Jagged-Scar Archers and the Soulless One, however, since this is only a 3/3 and that's a 3/3 they cancel each other out but since there is a Bone knitter ability, this person would tap 1 and a black to regenerate this Zombie. So, as it's going to the graveyard it's going to come back. This would be removed from play or put into the graveyard. This creature, the Elvish Aberration is getting blocked by the Carrion Feeder. The Carrion Feeder has a sacrifice creature, put a 1/ 1 counter on Carrion Feeder, however since that does not aid, since this is a 4/5 and that is a 1/1, this creature would then go to the graveyard. When damage resolution is done, 4 of the damage got through and the target opponent, since he does not have any spell to play because he is tapped out of mana, is going to take that 4 off of his dice. Put up the number 16 and I'm going to tap the cards, indicating the end of combat, take the instant that was played, place it in my graveyard. Damage resolution is done. Blocking does not cause you to tap, so these cards remain untapped and that is the end of the combat phase."
