Can what fetches fetch avoid nukes like flickering a permanent does?
Asked by nickiru 9 years ago
If I bust, Boom/Bust , and they fetch in response a land, does that land survive?
Is this similar or not to flickering with something like Cloudshift ?
But I thought flickering can avoid nukes? does it not and all these people I have seen flickeing as a defense bull crap?!?!

I believe that Cloudshift would save you from something that said "target" As what you targeted with the Cloudshift would change zones so your opponents spell would no longer have a legal target and would fizzle.

What would happen is this: Boom/Bust would go on the stack, and your opponent cracks a fetch in response. Their fetch activation would resolve first, putting a new land into play. Then Boom/Bust would resolve, destroying all lands, including the one put onto the battlefield with the fetch.

lol, I completely agree with the logic and order, I just have always thought that flickering avoided nukes as well for some reason. Thanks for clearing that up.

No. Bust doesn't target anything, it just destroys all lands as it resolves. The new land pulled up by the fetch is definitely a land, so it will get destroyed.
If you want to compare it to Cloudshift, then it's like playing Cloudshift in response to a Supreme Verdict . The creature leaves and then returns to the battlefield as Cloudshift resolves, which means it will be destroyed when Verdict finally resolves.
