The question is what gets put on the stack:
1. “OpponentName’s creatures get +X/+X”
2. “Current controller of Mirror’s creatures get +X/+X”

We know from discussions of Perplexing Chimera that if control of a *spell* switches sides while on the stack it goes into effect as if the new owner had cast it (e.g. creatures come into play on their side of the board), so it’s possible effects work the same way? Or that a MODO bug causes effects to work the same way?

Nice draft videos man, big fan and they’ve got me interested in Cube (or which I’m doing well at, which I place entirely on this sites videos).
For the mirror entity thing, it seems to me that the reverse of the stack would be:
1) old man takes mirror
2) mirror ability resolves, meaning creatures on the same side as entity. Marshalls opponent was ‘trying’ to activate the ability, and it would happen similarly to if the creature was killed in response. The ability goes on the stack but never resolves because the situation has changed.

why are you so intent on picking up mana fixing for every colour combination other than the one you’re in?

like your videos but i’d like to see some variety when you’re drafting cube. p1p1 goblin guide seemed like a good opportunity to draft mono red and could’ve been a good how-to video. especially since the red deck made it to the finals. now you’re just showing the deck you like to draft instead of showing other possibilities and teaching newer players

Stealing the Mirror Entity shouldn’t have worked out like that. The controller of the ability should be the one that gets the effect, not the current controller of the source since abilities exist independently of their source. The folks over at Cranial Insertion gave the same answer to a question of similar effect.
