Call it matic Imagine a world where everyday tasks are automated, efficiency is maximized, and productivity soars. This world exists, and it is called "matic". Matic is a term used to describe the automation of routine tasks using artificial intelligence and advanced technologies. It encompasses various fields, including robotics, machine learning, and computer vision. The purpose of matic is to reduce human intervention and enhance the speed and accuracy of tasks. One area where matic has made significant strides is in the manufacturing industry.
One area where matic has made significant strides is in the manufacturing industry. Robots and machines equipped with advanced sensors and algorithms can now carry out repetitive tasks with minimal human supervision. This not only reduces labor costs but also improves product quality and reduces errors.
Magar of the Magic Strings - Lot's of Questions
I need some help with [[Magar of the Magic Strings]].
I have read the rules related to the card in an attempt to understand potential interactions, but I still have a lot of questions surrounding how it works.
Questions 1 and 2, Introduction:
": Note the name of target instant or sorcery card in your graveyard and put it onto the battlefield face down. It’s a 3/3 creature . "
The way I am reading this it works a lot like a manifest but it has power and toughness 3/3 (but unlike manifest, even if it were a creature you can't flip it over because it isn't a manifest). You note what spell you are choosing as it exists when targeted in the graveyard. Then you move the spell to the battlefield facedown and it becomes a 3/3 colorless creature with no creature type (just like a manifest as described before, but not a manifest obviously) and a couple of complicated abilities we will get to later.
Question 1: What kinds of cards can be targeted with this ability? Obviously, Instants and Sorceries, as that is what is written on Magar, but what about Split Cards, Aftermath Cards, MDFCs, and Adventures?
My guess is the following:
Split Cards - OK
Aftermath Cards - OK, but only the non-Aftermath half
MDFC's - OK, but only if the front of the card is an Instant or Sorcery
Adventures - No
Question 2: What conditions are noted about the named card? For example, is its location noted (relevant for Question 3)?
Question 3, Introduction:
Okay now we get to the really confusing parts. When the 3/3 creature deals combat damage to a player, the control "may create a copy of the card with the noted name."
". with “Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, you may create a copy of the card with the noted name. . "
The rules state the following about "creating a copy of a card" in 707.12
707.12. An effect that instructs a player to cast a copy of an object (and not just copy a spell) follows the rules for casting spells, except that the copy is created in the same zone the object is in and then cast while another spell or ability is resolving. Casting a copy of an object follows steps 601.2a–h of rule 601, “Casting Spells,” and then the copy becomes cast. Once cast, the copy is a spell on the stack, and just like any other spell it can resolve or be countered.
Additional relevant information is here:
707.14. One card (Magar of the Magic Strings) instructs a player to note the name of a particular card in a graveyard and create a copy of the card with the noted name. To do so, use the characteristics of that card as it last existed in the graveyard to determine the copiable values of the copy. (See rule 608.2h.)
608.2h If an effect requires information from the game (such as the number of creatures on the battlefield), the answer is determined only once, when the effect is applied. If the effect requires information from a specific object, including the source of the ability itself, the effect uses the current information of that object if it’s in the public zone it was expected to be in; if it’s no longer in that zone, or if the effect has moved it from a public zone to a hidden zone, the effect uses the object’s last known information. See rule 113.7a. If an ability states that an object does something, it’s the object as it exists—or as it most recently existed—that does it, not the ability.
113.7a Once activated or triggered, an ability exists on the stack independently of its source. Destruction or removal of the source after that time won’t affect the ability. Note that some abilities cause a source to do something (for example, “Prodigal Pyromancer deals 1 damage to any target”) rather than the ability doing anything directly. In these cases, any activated or triggered ability that references information about the source for use while announcing an activated ability or putting a triggered ability on the stack checks that information when the ability is put onto the stack. Otherwise, it will check that information when it resolves. In both instances, if the source is no longer in the zone it’s expected to be in at that time, its last known information is used. The source can still perform the action even though it no longer exists.
if relevant.
Question 3: Where does this copy of "the card noted" get created? Is it created in Exile (this is where most copies of cards being cast are created) , in the Graveyard (maybe, if the location is part of being "noted") , in the player's hand (very unlikely) , on the Battlefield (unlikely, as it is in a nonpublic zone now, so it would use the last known location leading me to believe the Graveyard is most likely) , directly onto the Stack (I doubt it) , or somewhere else (is there some kind of temporary zone that I missed) ?
This covers a lot of the questions my play group and I have about the card, but not all of them, so I may have to make another post to ask more questions. Thank you in advance to taking the time to read through all of this and responding.

Another field where matic is transforming the way we work is in customer service. Chatbots and virtual assistants powered by natural language processing can provide instant responses to customer queries, improving customer satisfaction and freeing up human employees to focus on more complex and value-adding tasks. In the healthcare sector, matic has the potential to revolutionize patient care. From robotic surgeons performing delicate surgical procedures with precision to wearable devices monitoring vital signs and automatically alerting healthcare professionals in case of emergencies, matic technology can save lives and improve treatment outcomes. The transportation industry is also benefiting from matic advancements. Self-driving cars and trucks are being developed, which can potentially reduce accidents caused by human error and increase road safety. Additionally, logistics and supply chain management can be made more efficient through automated processes, reducing delivery times and costs. As matic becomes more integrated into our daily lives, there are concerns regarding job displacement. While it is true that some routine tasks may be automated, matic also opens up new opportunities and requires a different skill set. As tasks become automated, humans can focus on more creative and strategic work. This shift in the workforce will require continuous upskilling and adaptation to the changing demands of the job market. In conclusion, matic technology is transforming the way we live and work by automating routine tasks and increasing efficiency. While there may be challenges, the benefits of improved productivity, accuracy, and safety far outweigh the concerns. The age of matic has arrived, and it is reshaping industries and pushing the boundaries of what is possible. Embracing this technology and adapting to its changes will be crucial for success in the future..
