Q: I have a few questions about the timing issues involved with playing Seedtime. I am pretty sure that if it is played with an opponent's blue spell on the stack (like Fact or Fiction), that it will give you an extra turn.
A: Yes, correct.
Q: However, what happens if I play a spell, it gets countered, and I play Seedtime?
A: If you play Seedtime after your opponent has played a blue spell, you will get the extra turn.
Q: What about if I play Seedtime early in a turn, then my opponent uses Fact or Fiction in the end step?
A: You won't get an extra turn. When Seedtime resolves, it will look if any opponent played a blue spell this turn. If no opponent has played a blue spell before Seedtime was cast, the spell will resolve normally and do nothing - and even if someone casts a blue spell later, Seedtime is already in your graveyard, its effect prematurely fired. So you'd better wait.
Take care and have fun,

Q: If there is more than one Familiar in play, are the lowered casting cost effects cumulative?
A: Yes, they sure are. At Nationals, I was playing against Psychatog; he had three Nightscape Familiars out and was casting Fact or Fictions for one blue mana.
Take care,

Q: If I control a Mirari's Wake and a Sungrass Prarie, when I use one mana to tap the Sungrass Prarie, will it add two white and two green to my mana pool, or a total of three mana (a combination of white and green)?
A: It will only add one additional mana. You may choose if it will be a green or a white mana.
Hope this helps,

Q: I heard that Alpha cards are tournament legal if you use a colored card sleeve.
A: Not entirely true; they are only legal with opaque sleeves. These days there are also colored transparent sleeves - obviously, it is not legal to play with Alpha cards with these sleeves.
Q: If that's the case, why aren't the Beta collector's edition cards legal for tournaments?
A: They are not official Magic cards; Alpha cards are.
Q: I have a Drop of Honey and two Nimble Mongeese in play. Does that mean I can basically kill any other opponent's creature in play (assuming that they're targetable?).
Q: No. The Drop of Honey can only target a creature in play that has the with the least power - or is tied for the least. If you control a Nimble Mongoose, the only creature the Drop can target are those with a power less than the mongeese power; one or less if you have no threshold, three or less if you have threshold and the Mongeese are tied for lowest power.
