Worldslayer
{5}
Artifact -- Equipment
Whenever equipped creature deals combat damage to a player, destroy all
permanents other than Worldslayer.
Equip {5} ({5}: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a
sorcery. This card comes into play unattached and stays in play if the
creature leaves play.)
419.6b Regeneration is a destruction-replacement effect. The word
"instead" doesn't appear on the card but is implicit in the definition
of regeneration. "Regenerate [permanent]" means "The next time
[permanent] would be destroyed this turn, instead remove all damage from
it, tap it, and (if it's in combat) remove it from combat." Abilities
that trigger from damage being dealt still trigger even if the permanent
regenerates.
Sure, why not?

Wirewood Symbiote
{G}
Creature -- Insect
1/1
Return an Elf you control to its owner's hand: Untap target creature.
Play this ability only once each turn.
Does the effect say "Untap target creature" or "Untap target tapped
creature"?

Yavimaya Elder
{1}{G}{G}
Creature -- Druid
2/1
When Yavimaya Elder is put into a graveyard from play, you may search
your library for up to two basic land cards, reveal them, and put them
into your hand. If you do, shuffle your library.
{2}, Sacrifice Yavimaya Elder: Draw a card.
And.
Here is the full sequence. For the sake of definiteness, I've assumed
that you are doing this on your turn.
1. You get priority and play the second ability of Yavimaya Elder. You
pay the cost of {2}, Sacrifice Yavimaya Elder. The first ability
triggers.
2. You would get priority, but the first ability of Yavimaya Elder goes
on the stack.
3. You get priority and pass it.
4. Your opponent gets priority and passes it.
5. The top item on the stack (the first ability of Yavimaya Elder)
resolves. If you so choose, you can search your library, yadda, yadda,
and shuffle it.
6. You get priority and pass it.
7. Your opponent gets priority and passes it.
8. The top item on the stack (the second ability of Yavimaya Elder)
resolves. You draw a card.

Skirk Fire Marshal
{3}{R}{R}
Creature -- Goblin Lord
2/2
Protection from red
Tap five untapped Goblins you control: Skirk Fire Marshal deals 10
damage to each creature and each player.
212.3d A creature's activated ability with the tap symbol in its
activation cost can't be played unless the creature has been under its
controller's control since the start of his or her most recent turn. A
creature can't attack unless it has been under its controller's control
since the start of his or her most recent turn. This rule is informally
called the "summoning sickness" rule. Ignore this rule for creatures
with haste (see rule 502.5).
Sure, why not? The cost does not include the tap symbol, and it's
certainly not an attack.
> 5.) Do you shuffle after you play Impulse? (its says so on the card but i've
> heard you don't)
The answer is to play based on the Oracle text:
Impulse
{1}{U}
Instant
Look at the top four cards of your library. Put one of them into your
hand and the rest on the bottom of your library.
"One of the most poorly worded cards ever. The last line of Impulse
(about shuffling) is to be ignored and wasn't ever meant to be on the
card." --

309.2f An attacking creature with one or more creatures declared as
blockers for it becomes a blocked creature; one with no blockers becomes
an unblocked creature. The creature's status remains unchanged until the
creature is removed from combat or the combat phase ends, whichever
comes first. (Some effects can change a creature's status.)
310.2c A blocked creature will assign combat damage, divided as its
controller chooses, to the creatures blocking it. If no creatures are
currently blocking it (if, for example, they were destroyed or removed
from combat), it will assign no combat damage.
You haven't described anything that would make your attacker unblocked.
The second sentence of 310.2c applies.
