Sorcery, 2BB (4)
Exile All Hallow's Eve with two scream counters on it.
At the beginning of your upkeep, if All Hallow's Eve is exiled with a scream counter on it, remove a scream counter from it. If there are no more scream counters on it, put it into your graveyard and each player returns all creature cards from his or her graveyard to the battlefield.1
Illus. Christopher Rush
Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]
- 10/4/2004: Since you can respond to triggered abilities, it is legal to sacrifice creatures using some spell or ability prior to resolving the ability that removes the final counter from All Hallow's Eve.
- 4/1/2008: A "creature card" is any card with the type Creature, even if it has other types such as Artifact, Enchantment, or Land. Older cards of type Summon are also Creature cards.

Enchantment, 1B (2)
If a player would draw a card except the first one he or she draws in his or her draw step each turn, that player discards a card instead. If the player discards a card this way, he or she draws a card. If the player doesn't discard a card this way, he or she puts the top card of his or her library into his or her graveyard.1
Illus. Heather Hudson
Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]
- 10/4/2004: The effect is cumulative. If there are two of these on the battlefield, each of them will modify each draw (after the first one if during the draw step), and will cause the player to discard or to "mill" a card from their library. As they resolve in order, the player must discard if possible. Once the player fails to discard and instead "mills" a card, all further effects of additional Chains of Mephistopheles will not do anything. This is because the "mill" also replaces the draw effect and the player is no longer drawing a card. You handle them in order. Each one makes you discard first and then continue or else mill a card and lose the draw.
- 10/4/2004: Cards which are drawn as a cost are affected by this card because replacement effects can alter the payment of costs.
- 9/16/2007: If a spell or ability would cause a player to draw multiple cards, this is treated as a number of individual "draw one card" actions. Apply the effect of Chains of Mephistopheles to each one.
- 9/16/2007: A player's normal card draw on his or her turn is exempt from this effect. All other draws will be affected.
- 9/16/2007: Here's what happens when Chains of Mephistopheles replaces a player's draw: -- If that player has at least one card in his or her hand, he or she discards a card and then draws a card. -- If that player's hand is empty, he or she puts the top card of his or her library into his or her graveyard. The player doesn't draw a card at all.

Creature - Zombie 2/1, 1B (2)
When Cyclopean Mummy is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, exile Cyclopean Mummy.1
The ritual of plucking out an eye to gain future sight is but a curse that enables the living to see their own deaths.
Illus. Edward P. Beard, Jr.
Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]
- 10/4/2004: The Mummy does go to the graveyard and trigger abilities which watch for something going to the graveyard. It then gets exiled as a triggered ability.
- 10/4/2004: It does not get exiled if it goes to the graveyard from someplace other than the battlefield. This includes discarding from your hand or if the spell is countered.
