MTG Rulings & Questions
Goblin Questions
Hey everyone, here are some things my friends and I disagree about regarding my goblin deck. Hopefully you can give me the correct ruling:
Question 1
Ok, here's the situation: I have a Warren Instigator in play and a Goblin Ringleader (or Goblin Matron) in my hand, my opponent has no blockers. It is my turn, I attack with Warren Instigator and play the Ringleader via Instigator's ability. Can I then grab another goblin from the top four cards of my library and play it for free, or does Warren Instigator's ability only apply to goblins in your hand at the time he damages your opponent?
Question 2
I have two attacking Goblin Guides in play. How many cards does my opponent reveal from the top of their deck?

Waren Instigator attacks.
No blockers or spells are declared.
Waren Instigator deals first strike damage. His ability is put on the stack.
The ability resolves. You play Goblin Ringleader with it. His ability is put on the stack.
Ringleader's ability resolves. You receive a second Ringleader from the reveal.
No more abilities activate.
Waren Instigator deals normal damage. His ability is put on the stack.
The ability resolves. You play the second Ringleader. The ringleader's ability is put on the stack.
It resolves. You reveal the top 4.

Each Goblin Guide's ability resolves independently of each other. He reveals one card per guide.

The Goblin Guide reveals the top card. So for instance: first one swings and the card is a nonland it goes back and the second one will just reveal it again. But if the first one reveals a land it'll go in their hand and you'll reveal the new top card. Hoping its not another land.
