Yixlid Jailer

Creature - Zombie Wizard 2/1, 1B (2)
Cards in graveyards lose all abilities.1
Illus. Alex Horley-Orlandelli

Crystal Keep Rulings Summaries

  • Removes all abilities, even if they don't do anything while in the graveyard. [Future Sight FAQ 2007/05/01]
  • An ability that triggers on going to the graveyard from play is considered to trigger in play so this card won't affect that trigger. [Future Sight FAQ 2007/05/01]
  • An ability that triggers on going to the graveyard from other zones is considered to trigger after getting to the graveyard, so this effect will prevent that ability from triggering. [Future Sight FAQ 2007/05/01]
  • Cards with abilities that define how they enter play will not have those while in the graveyard, but if they are put into play from the graveyard those abilities will be applied as they enter play. [Future Sight FAQ 2007/05/01]
  • If Mistform Ultimus is in the graveyard, the Ultimus will lose its ability that says "Mistform Ultimus is every creature type," but it will still be all creature types. The way continuous effects work, Mistform Ultimus's type-changing ability is applied before Yixlid Jailer's ability removes it. [Future Sight FAQ 2007/05/01]

Mogg Fanatic

Creature - Goblin 1/1, R (1)
Sacrifice Mogg Fanatic: Mogg Fanatic deals 1 damage to target creature or player.1
Illus. Nils Hamm

Crystal Keep Rulings Summaries

  • If you block a creature with Mogg Fanatic, you can sacrifice it before combat damage is assigned (in which case the attacker is blocked but neither the attacker nor Mogg Fanatic deal damage). Or you can sacrifice it after combat damage is assigned but before damage resolves (in which case the blocked creature takes 1 damage from the Mogg Fanatic in combat but deals nothing to the now missing Mogg Fanatic... this is in addition to the 1 damage the Mogg Fanatic's ability can do). So it is possible to block a 2/2 creature and kill it with a Mogg Fanatic. [D'Angelo 1999/06/01]

{W}, {T}: Put a +1/+1 counter on target Soldier creature.
Each creature you control with a +1/+1 counter on it can block an additional creature.

The choke point was the plan, but devoted camaraderie was always her strategy.
Illus. Steven Belledin
