The good answer is C. 4. Valda's ability creates seismic surges as part of a compound event, so it would initially create 3 seismic surges, which are replaced by promising terrain to become 4. #fabtcg #fabjudges

How many will they create?

Last weekend at Gen Con 2025, our Learn to Play booth was a huge success! 🐝
With the premiere of Smash Palace and the new Bravo demo deck, it’s easier than ever to introduce new players to our community.
Also debuting: our brand-new L2P team shirts! 👕❤️‍🔥

that is also true! the answer would not change if eg Copper Cog was in the pitch zone. Further, you can only tap/untap *permanents* which means that you couldn't tap with a blocking copper cog (even though you control it) in some other example

The good answer is C. 2. Jolly Bludger is looking for items with the subtype Cog that Tyler controls. Master Cog (regardless of language) does not have this subtype, so does not qualify.

a layer-continuous effect is generated by the resolution of a layer (as opposed to a static-continuous effect like Tiger Stripe Shuko, eg) rules.fabtcg.com/en/cr/06-eff...
so effects generated by NAA's like you describe fall under that

The good answer is D. 8. Layer-continuous effects like Hiss continue to apply after the card *becomes* BoA. Bonds of Agony has a static ability that sees 3 attack reacts have been played this chain link, so gets +3 from itself for a total of 8

What is the final attack power?

Tyler attacks Nic, who is marked, with isolate. Hiss(blue), Slither and Take Up the Mantle are played during reactions, choosing Bonds of Agony. What is the final attack power of the attack after everything resolves in that order? #fabtcg #fabjudges

The good answer is C. When choosing matching names and multiple names are present, the chosen name is the SET of names and must exactly match for there to be a positive match (cr9.2.2c) #fabtcg #fabjudges

We will look into it. in the mean time, here are the links to the cards referenced:

The good answer is B. 1. Fealty tokens are draconic cards with an activated ability, so the resource cost reduction applies to it. The draconic leg tap costs 1. #fabtcg #fabjudges

The good answer is D. Saltwater Swell is a mandatory effect if the condition is met (reveal a blue.) Back Alley Breakline would then be put in a zone (pitch) from their deck, meeting the conditions for its trigger #fabtcg #fabjudges
