How stacks work in mtg(can this scenario happen)
A friend of mine and I are playing mtg when he tried to counter my Crystaline Sliver with Final Reward. Is this a legal move?
Best Answer
I assume your Sliver is already on the board.
Final Reward needs to target a creature on the board.
Crystaline Sliver's shroud ability makes it that your Slivers can't be targeted.
So because you can't target Slivers, you can't remove it with Final Reward.
If you want to remove the Sliver, you would need something that doesn't target (like a Wrath of God) or something that would target the player and force him to sacrifice something (like Diabolic Edict)

How does stack work in MTG?
The stack is the game zone where spells and abilities are put when they are played and where they wait to resolve. The stack system allows players to "respond" to the actions of other players before those actions take full effect, enabling interactive gameplay even with "instantaneous" effects.Does the entire stack resolve at once?
The Stack does not resolve all at once. Instead, each spell or ability on the Stack resolves one-at-a-time. After each spell or ability resolves, both players will get the opportunity to play additional spells and abilities.How does the stack work?
Change: Under the old rules, creatures simply dealt damage to each other, and the only spells and abilities you could play at that point were damage prevention and regeneration. Under the new rules, damage goes on the stack, and then both players have the opportunity to play spells and abilities.The Power of Priority (and The Stack) l The Command Zone #267 l Magic: the Gathering EDH
