Magic: The Gathering

A 'charge counter' is just a token or marker placed on a permanent. It doesn't do anything unless the placing spell/ability gives it an effect, or the permanent it is placed on does something when it has one.

One combo is that you play a Spitemare and a Furnace of Rath and make the Spitemare indestructible. Then you just have to deal damage to the Spitemare in some way, it will receive that damage doubled and you have to select where you want to send an equal amount of damage, choose the Spitemare and you have an unlimited combo. If you also add lifelink to Spitemare you have a infinite life combo too.

Niv-mizzet, the Firemind and Ophidian Eye.

A creature with shroud cannot be targeted by instants, sorceries, or any other spells or abilities that target. However instants such as Evacuation will affect the creature because the spell does not target.

Most of the time : yes.

Older (pre-Shards of Alara) 60-card theme decks don't. Newer 40-card 'Intro Packs' do.

You can combine the creature and it's abilities with another creature whenever you want until end of turn. So a 2/2 with banding and flying mixed with a 3/3 becomes a 5/5 flying.

This is up to the individual player, and often also the colour(s) of your deck, as well as the composition of it.

But for a quick and easy "beginner's advice" so to speak, try 1 in 3. (20 out of 60)

This should, in theory, give you a hand of 2 lands, with your 3rd coming up before you run out, in general 3 mana is enough to do something while you wait for more.

Once again, this doesn't always work, some decks need more before going optimal, and some have alternative ways of gaining it, and then some dedicate half their deck to digging up the other half.

It all depends.

It is a fish of the herring species.
