[Magic the Gathering Cards #8] [A] 2 Spiteflame Witch Ability......[B] 2 Oona's Prowler Discard a Card?

Question

[A] What happens if I had 2 Spiteflame Witch in play then I tap 1 black and 1 red mana for its ability. Will I lose 2 life and also to my opponent or only lose 1 life...?

[B] What happens if I discard 1 card from my hand when 2 Oona's Prowler attacked me. Will both of them become -2/0 until of turn?

Thanks again.

Answer 1

Again, you must pay for each cost separately. Just because you discarded a card, all Oona’s prowler doesn’t get smaller. Only one gets smaller, because you paid the discarding cost to one of them. Again, it would be different if the prowler said “whenever a player discards a card, Oona’s prowler gets -2/-0 until the end of turn,” but then, it won’t be worth nearly as much as it is now.

About the witch, again, you only paid the cost once, so everyone loses only one life.

Answer 2

A. you have to pay the cost individually for each witch but since there's no tap cost as many times as you want to pay a black and a red everybody loses a life

B. you or your opponent have to discard for each prowler

Answer 3

This applies to both questions.

If can only use one ability per creature.  What I mean is that if you paid the black&red on the witches, you have to specify which witch you are using the ability with.  You cannot pay once to get a double bonus.  Same goes for the Prowlers.  If you discard 1 card, you have to specify who you are discarding to.  If you want to use both, you have to pay for both.
