1. If someone goes to destroy my Essence of the Wild, can i use something like Raise the Alarm making two copies of Essence of the Wild before it dies, or does the other instant spell such as Doom Blade happen before mine since he played his spell first?
3. While Essence of the Wild is in play, if i turn Mishra's Factory into a 2/2 artifact creature until the end of turn, does it turn into a copy of Essence of the Wild instead? And if so, does that mean it no longer turns back into a land at the end of turn?
EDIT: Can someone move this into the "Magic Rulings" area, i clicked the wrong one.
1. Yes, if you cast it in response, it will resolve before Doom Blade, and will make 2 6/6 Essence Tokens that have the all-creatures-entering-are-copies-of-this-card ability, ensuring you can continue to churn 6/6s.
2. Yes, it will come back into play as an Essence Token with the ability AND a +1/+1 counter.
3. No, afaik Mishra's Factory doesn't enter the battlefield as a creature, because it's already on the battlefield. It will become a 2/2 and then turn back at EoT. However, nitpick; it never stops being a land, so it can't "no longer turn back".
Not a rules guru though, don't count on it.
Also; goes in another forum, I'm sure

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, i forgot about the "it's still a land" part. Makes sense. And i'm hoping they move this, i don't know how to move it and i clicked the wrong forum.
The factory's still-a-land clause is irrelevant; it doesn't enter as a creature.
Well, unless you have something that statically makes lands creatures... Sorta the way March of the Machines makes artifacts into creatures- I'm 99.7% sure that those would become copies.
You are indeed wrong. Living Lands' continuous effect is ignored when determining which replacement effects apply to a land that's entering the battlefield.
614.12. Some replacement effects modify how a permanent enters the battlefield. (See rules 614.1c-d.) Such effects may come from the permanent itself if they affect only that permanent (as opposed to a general subset of permanents that includes it). They may also come from other sources. To determine which replacement effects apply and how they apply, check the characteristics of the permanent as it would exist on the battlefield, taking into account replacement effects that have already modified how it enters the battlefield, continuous effects generated by the resolution of spells or abilities that changed the permanent's characteristics on the stack (see rule 400.7a), and continuous effects from the permanent's own static abilities, but ignoring continuous effects from any other source that would affect it.

2. Can i use Otherworldly Journey on something like Avacyn's Pilgrim while Essence of the Wild is in play, than have Avacyn's Pilgrim return to play as a copy of Essence of the Wild.
3. While Essence of the Wild is in play, if i turn Mishra's Factory into a 2/2 artifact creature until the end of turn, does it turn into a copy of Essence of the Wild instead? And if so, does that mean it no longer turns back into a land at the end of turn?
