Tetsuko Umezawa and Prosthetic Injector
Asked by 9-lives 2 weeks ago
If I use Prosthetic Injector and I put it on a card to where it has more than 1 toughness, and that's the only attribute at 1, would that negate Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive's ability to give it unblockable?
Does Ghostly Touch and Hidden Strings let me tap/untap my opponent's lands? It would be occurring during the combat phase, so I'm wondering if it would be useful to tap my opponent's lands? If not, I could always tap creatures and untap my own lands.

Those abilities don't have anything written into their targeting requirements that restricts them to "nonland permanents" or "permanents you control", so yes, you can target an opponent's lands with them. This could be useful for locking up Counterspell mana that you don't want to deal with during your second main phase, but pretty much any other kind of Instant-speed thing they could do during your second main could also be done in response to these triggers during combat, so the general usefulness there could be limited.
It's better to start a new topic for a new question rather than append it to a resolved topic, especially if they aren't related. It makes it easier for people with a similar question to find later and makes it easier for people with answers to notice the new activity (I got a notification because I posted here, but otherwise people might not look at all since the thread is marked as resolved).

You're right, Tetsuko's ability would no longer apply. If something refers to a creature's power or toughness and doesn't specifically say "base power" or "base toughness" then it's talking about the creature's total power/toughness including any modifiers.
