is phyrexian dreadnoughts text " sacrifice blah blah blah" considered a triggered ability? someone played it then stifled it. does that work? ive never seen that before.

Yes it is, if you click on Phyrexian Dreadnought you can see the rulings for the card... "Reverted to its original wording, this now has an enters-the-battlefield triggered ability. During resolution of the triggered ability, you choose one option or the other." Congratulate whoever played that combo, it's nice in it's simplicity.
i am almost certain its a triggered ability because to trigger something is to set it off by doing another action (like a gun pull the trigger and a bullet comes out) and dreadnought says that [when] it comes into play ( action) sac creatures (reaction). However MTG is weird because lets say you play living wish from judgement. it says search for a card outside of the game but you cant go into your trade binder to look for any card you want it has to be in your sideboard.
stifle is the best, but the vision charm works well for its cheap $
JonBomb sure you could target it with Pithing Needle but nothing would happen since Pithing Needle States Activated ability.
the sacrifice is an activated ability, by its being cast. thats how the ruling reads
at least thats how i took it i may be wrong but it seemed logical
no Activated ability is a Tap or sacrifice or pay (however much) mana
ok, so its a triggered, as opposed to activated....does pithing needle not work on...say krakens eye? (sorry if so its news to me but i am not claiming to be right or wrong)
wow. thanks for all the responses. i was wondering becuase i played someone today who did that and wasnt sure cuz ive never seen it before. also thanks for all the repsonses in such a short time. its been like 10 minutes. lol
and to lordstrongpaw. i would have if i was certain of the combo at time and i would now but i sadly dont know who it was. i played him on magic work station. which by the way, i would enjoy playing people on here if they download it. : )
i agree hipponox, we need a direct link to it or something on the site...get in to a conversation and decide..."well lets try it out and see" *click*
oh and if ya want check out my Artificial Affinity Dreadnought deck, i have the combo in there with the vision charm. i havent posted any decks on here that i dont own the actual cards of or i would have a hundered decks from mws lol
JonBomb thats correct Pithing would Not work on Krakens eye since it only triggers it has no activated abilities. you can target anything with pithing (and i've seen some dumb choices) but it wont have an effect unless the target has a tap, sac, mana usage ((different from mana ability) mana abilities are activated trigger or static abilities that produce mana while mana usage abilities are activated abilites that require some form of mana to activate.).
ability. is supposed to be at the end of my last comment. +1 by the way for the good topic
thanx for the clarification dreki, i have a few people i play with i should inform as well. because they do that alot...chose dragon claw or Krakens eye or something like that...or one of my wardens...doent effect any of them though
no dont tell them let them target it then play a spell and declare your life gain, they'll be like wtf i just said i target it with pithing needle and you reply so? it has a triggered ability not an activated one. also vision charm isn't that great on this guy since phasing back in doesnt count as coming into play and thus doesnt trigger this guys ability. a spell like Flicker or Blink would since those remove from game and instantly bring it back into play.
thanks even more everyone!!! : ) as me and jonbomb suggested, we think people on here should download magic work station (the free version) so we can play each other. that would just make everything really fun. It would be interesting to finally play the decks and people on this site. it would also help with the deck testing and refining. idk. just throwing stuff out there.
no i mean i vision charm my own dreadnought to keep him in play... cast him, fast effect phase him out, next turn he is back and i didnt have to sac
i dont think i am wrong but i have a 1st turn cast dreadnought combo with 1land 1lotus petal 1dreadnought and 1vision charm...when he phases in oh turn two he is ready for battle. thats how we have played it anyways
ahh i see your evil plan now and it sounds like it would work. You should make a deck with it
i have one if ya would like to check it out...its my artificial affinity dreadnought deck....the combo alone throws people for a loop :-) thanx
hipponox i just downloaded the magic Workstation wanna play a game? btw is there any other way to get cards into the deck then copy pasting.
there should be a search engine up on the top. you can just press enter or click the green arrow next to the search box. and yes i would ver much like to play. : ) also did you make sure to download the gamepack?
I know it costs slightly more but thinking of incorporating this in to a mono white deck. Would 'Humble' work if played when casting Dreadnought?
