Creature - Djinn 5/6, 3BB (5)
Trample
At the beginning of your upkeep, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature each opponent controls.1
"Your arrogance amazes me, Kaervek. Did you not know the price you would pay?" -Mangara
Illus. Terese Nielsen
Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]

Enchantment, 1BB (3)
Each land is a Swamp in addition to its other land types.1
"Kaervek imprisoned Mangara out of jealousy, but he taints Jamuraa simply out of spite." -Asmira, Holy Avenger
Illus. Cliff Nielsen
Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]
- 10/4/2004: The land can now be tapped for black mana in addition to any other abilities it already has. This works just as if the text "{Tap}: Add {B} to your mana pool" was added to each mana-producing land. In other words, the land can be tapped for its own ability _or_ it can be tapped for black mana. Not both.
- 10/4/2004: Whether the land is a basic land or not is unchanged by this effect.
- 10/4/2004: More than one Blanket of Night has no meaningful additional effect.
- 10/4/2004: Anything which counts the number of Swamps on the battlefield will not double count an actual Swamp card while Blanket of Night is on the battlefield.
- 10/4/2004: It can affect lands which do not produce mana.
- 10/4/2004: The lands do not get the name "Swamp" in addition to their current name. This is a reversal of older rulings.
- 10/4/2004: The ability is a land type change effect so it is ordered along with other land type change effects in the order they entered the battlefield.
- 10/15/2006: If this effect is applied to a Snow land, the land is now a Snow Swamp and not just a regular Swamp.

Creature - Insect 1/1, 1B (2)

"It's like waking on a bed of a thousand olives during an earthquake of subtle force." -Afari, Tales
Illus. G. Darrow & I. Rabarot
Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]
- 10/4/2004: The loss of life is not optional.
- 10/4/2004: The life loss and the return to hand both happen at the beginning of the end step as a single effect. It is not two separate effects.

At the beginning of the end step, each player who tapped a land for mana this turn sacrifices a land. If a Plains is sacrificed this way, Desolation deals 2 damage to that Plains's controller.1
"Kill a creature, destroy the present. Kill the land, destroy the future." -Kaervek
Illus. George Pratt
Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]
- 10/4/2004: It works even if it was not on the battlefield when the land was tapped for mana.
- 10/4/2004: Each Desolation only causes up to one land per turn to be sacrificed. If you have more than one, each will do this.

Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]
- 10/4/2004: This creature can't be given the ability to block, even if it's enchanted by an Aura that says "Enchanted creature can block as though it had flying". Those abilities do not remove the general inability to block.

Enchantment, 2B (3)
You may cast Necromancy as though it had flash. If you cast it any time a sorcery couldn't have been cast, the controller of the permanent it becomes sacrifices it at the beginning of the next cleanup step.
When Necromancy enters the battlefield, if it's on the battlefield, it becomes an Aura with "enchant creature put onto the battlefield with Necromancy." Put target creature card from a graveyard onto the battlefield under your control and attach Necromancy to it. When Necromancy leaves the battlefield, that creature's controller sacrifices it.1
Illus. Pete Venters

- 10/4/2004: The bringing of the creature onto the battlefield and then putting Necromancy on it is all done as part of the resolution.
- 10/4/2004: When putting a card onto the battlefield that requires a definition for its value or some other choice, you do what is needed to define the value or make the choice.
- 8/1/2005: enters the battlefield as a global enchantment and then becomes an Enchant Creature Aura as a triggered ability upon entering the battlefield. It follows all the rules for Auras from then on.
- 4/1/2008: If the creature card put onto the battlefield has Protection from Black (or anything that prevents this from legally being attached), this won’t be able to attach to it. Then this will go to the graveyard as a State-Based Action, causing the creature to be sacrificed. This is a change from recent functionality.
- 10/1/2009: The sacrifice occur only if you cast it using its own ability. If you cast it using some other effect (for instance, if it gained flash from Vedalken Orrery), then it won't be sacrificed.

If two world permanents enter the battlefield at the same time, they're both put into their owners' graveyards.
