Attacking twice with instill energy
Adam L. Twitchell
The green "instill energy" enchantment reads as follows:
"You may untap target creature both during your untap phase
and one additional time during your turn. Target creature may also
attack the turn it comes into play."
Can I then use this to attack with a creature twice in a turn
by tapping to attack during my attack phase and at the end of the
damage dealing phase of my attack and before my turn is officially
over, using instill energy to untap and attack again?
Additionally, I play a pure green deck and am looking for
suggestions on how to get rid of artifacts (eg. the icy-imp combo).

nope. There is only one attack phase in a turn. Instill energy
is very usefull for attacking with a creature, and being able to
use it to block before your next untap phase, and for allowing
creatures to tap to use their special ability twice per turn...
(ask me sometime about my instilled energyed prodigal sorcerer
deck... *grin*) Note: You can attack the turn its brought out,
but you cannot tap it to use a special ability...

the only way that green can get rid of artifacts is with the desert
twister. alternatively, you could place a living artifact on the
annoying artifact, and hope that your opponent will get rid of it
to prevent you from acquiring too much life... :-)

As a courtesy to the rest of the group, please add the MtG tag to the subject line of
follow-ups to this thread (as I've done above), and remember to include the "official"
game abbreviations when you post. This allows kill files to work.
Thanks,

Alternatively, we know there's a green card in Antiquities called "Crumble"
and that the spells in this set are to do with artifacts...

Excuse me, O wise Net Person, but my site doesn't have the new group
yet. As far as I'm concerned, it might as well not exist. :)
How about a little tolerance...? What if nobody ever goes to this
mythical newsgroup, and you'd have to put up with us for a long time? :)

So put mtg in the subject line so my kill file can remove your loathsome
putridness from my sight.

Nope, no tolerance. Sorry, I'm an assole.

I'd just keep my kill file and keep up work with the flamethrower.

So you think my .sig's obnoxious do you? What are you a stinking, fetid
misbegotten puddle of yak excrement excuse for a lawyer?

Please note: Jack said it himself, nobody else had to.

Nope, one doesn't have to be a lawyer to be offended by your signature,
Jack. It's more than four lines long. ALL signatures more than four
lines long are obnoxious, regardless of contents.
