it's worth having the Comprehensive Rulebook available while reading.

of English that Magic has adopted.

THE MYSTERY IS BACK! and looking for YOU! IMPOSSIBLE CASTING IS NOW
CASTING THE PICKUP ARTIST SEASON 2 IN NYC! ARE YOU A QUIRKY BUT
LIKABLE GUY WHO HAS TROUBLE PICKING UP WOMEN? ARE YOU MORE AS A "GEEK"...

A quick question, that's probably been answered many times already,
but I couldn't find anything:
If I have a creature with Changeling and someone plays a Humility,
does it lose Changeling? Or is that protected as a characteristic-
setting ability?

Do they even have those any more? It's been a while since I really
paid attention, alas.

Hi Guys,

Me and my brother have just started playing MTG, it's a great game.
I have a few questions regarding some cards/instances of the game.

1) My brother has some instants that say tap target creature. If the
creature has an ability and it costs "tap" to play, will that ability
be activated if he uses the instant on that particular creature?
( Could a reasoning be provided or what parts of the rule are in play
here?, I tried to explain to my brother that you can't "double tap" a
card since he was forcing me to tap and I didn't want to play it's
ability.)

2) I have a card that says target opponent discards 4 cards from his
hand. If my opponent only has 3, does he discard all his cards or am I
unable to play this card?

3)My brother has Spellstutter Sprite.
Now, if my brother is not counter targetting any spell, can he still
play that card since he cannot target a spell?

Thank you for your time.
Eric
