Illus. Michael Komarck

Gatherer Card Rulings?, Legality?

• 5/1/2009: Unlike other similar cards, Finest Hour doesn't create a main phase in between the two combat phases. The second combat phase will begin immediately after the current one ends.

Fury of the Horde

Sorcery, 5RR (7)

Untap all creatures that attacked this turn. After this main phase, there is an additional combat phase followed by an additional main phase.

Illus. Stephen Tappin

Gatherer Card Rulings?, Legality?

• 7/15/2006: If it's somehow not a main phase when Fury of the Horde resolves, all it does is untap all creatures that attacked that turn. No new phases are created.
• 7/15/2006: Paying the alternative cost doesn't change when you can cast the spell. A creature spell you cast this way, for example, can still only be cast during your main phase while the stack is empty.
• 7/15/2006: You may pay the alternative cost rather than the card's mana cost. Any additional costs are paid as normal.
• 7/15/2006: If you don't have two cards of the right color in your hand, you can't choose to cast the spell using the alternative cost.
• 7/15/2006: You can't exile a card from your hand to pay for itself. At the time you would pay costs, that card is on the stack, not in your hand.

Hellkite Charger

Creature — Dragon 5/5, 4RR (6)

Flying, haste

Whenever Hellkite Charger attacks, you may pay {5}{R}{R}. If you do, untap all attacking creatures and after this phase, there is an additional combat phase.

Illus. Jaime Jones

Gatherer Card Rulings?, Legality?

• 10/1/2009: You decide whether to pay {5}{R}{R} as Hellkite Charger's ability resolves.
• 10/1/2009: If you pay {5}{R}{R}, the new combat phase immediately follows the current combat phase. There is no main phase in between.
• 10/1/2009: Hellkite Charger's ability may trigger multiple times in the same turn, since its own ability gives it multiple chances to attack. Each time it resolves, you may create an additional combat phase.
• 10/1/2009: If two Hellkite Chargers attack at the same time, both of their abilities trigger. If you pay {5}{R}{R} for each, two new combat phases will be created. However, all attacking creatures untap as those abilities resolve, not as the combat phases start. Any creature that attacks in the second combat phase will remain tapped during the third combat phase.

"Mercy? Mercy is for the playground, not the battleground."

Illus. Greg Hildebrandt

Gatherer Card Rulings?, Legality?

• 10/4/2004: If you manage to cast this during a main phase of your opponent's turn, that opponent's creatures will untap and that opponent will be able to attack again. It will not allow you to attack during their turn.
• 10/4/2004: Abilities that trigger when a creature attacks, blocks, or is blocked will trigger during each combat that turn. Thus, a creature with Rampage will get the bonus added during each attack.
• 10/4/2004: A creature that must attack each turn, must only attack once that turn. It is not forced into each attack that turn.
• 10/4/2004: It only creates an additional combat and main phase if it resolves during a main phase.

Illus. Matt Thompson

Waves of Aggression

Sorcery, 3{R/W}{R/W} (5)

Untap all creatures that attacked this turn. After this main phase, there is an additional combat phase followed by an additional main phase.

Retrace (You may cast this card from your graveyard by discarding a land card in addition to paying its other costs.)

Illus. Jim Pavelec

Gatherer Card Rulings?, Legality?

• 8/1/2008: Casting a card by using its retrace ability works just like casting any other card, with two exceptions: You're casting the card from your graveyard rather than your hand, and you must discard a land card in addition to any other costs.
• 8/1/2008: A retrace card cast from your graveyard follows the normal timing rules for its card type.
• 8/1/2008: When a retrace card you cast from your graveyard resolves or is countered, it's put back into your graveyard. You may use the retrace ability to cast it again.
• 8/1/2008: If the active player casts a spell that has retrace, that player may cast that card again after it resolves, before another player can remove the card from the graveyard. The active player has priority after the spell resolves, so he or she can immediately cast a new spell. Since casting a card with retrace from the graveyard moves that card onto the stack, no one else would have the chance to affect it while it's still in the graveyard.
• 8/1/2008: Waves of Aggression untaps all creatures that attacked this turn, not just those that attacked during the most recent combat phase.
• 8/1/2008: If it's somehow not a main phase when Waves of Aggression resolves, all it does is untap all creatures that attacked that turn. No new phases are created.

World at War

Sorcery, 3RR (5)

After the first postcombat main phase this turn, there's an additional combat phase followed by an additional main phase. At the beginning of that combat, untap all creatures that attacked this turn.

Rebound (If you cast this spell from your hand, exile it as it resolves. At the beginning of your next upkeep, you may cast this card from exile without paying its mana cost.)

Illus. Igor Kieryluk

Gatherer Card Rulings?, Legality?

• 6/15/2010: If a spell with rebound that you cast from your hand is countered for any reason (due to a spell like Cancel, or because all of its targets are illegal), the spell doesn't resolve and rebound has no effect. The spell is simply put into your graveyard. You won't get to cast it again next turn.
• 6/15/2010: If you cast a spell with rebound from anywhere other than your hand (such as from your graveyard due to Sins of the Past, from your library due to cascade, or from your opponent's hand due to Sen Triplets), rebound won't have any effect. If you do cast it from your hand, rebound will work regardless of whether you paid its mana cost (for example, if you cast it from your hand due to Maelstrom Archangel).
• 6/15/2010: If a replacement effect would cause a spell with rebound that you cast from your hand to be put somewhere else instead of your graveyard (such as Leyline of the Void might), you choose whether to apply the rebound effect or the other effect as the spell resolves.
• 6/15/2010: Rebound will have no effect on copies of spells because you don't cast them from your hand.
• 6/15/2010: If you cast a spell with rebound from your hand and it resolves, it isn't put into your graveyard. Rather, it's exiled directly from the stack. Effects that care about cards being put into your graveyard won't do anything.
• 6/15/2010: At the beginning of your upkeep, all delayed triggered abilities created by rebound effects trigger. You may handle them in any order. If you want to cast a card this way, you do so as part of the resolution of its delayed triggered ability. Timing restrictions based on the card's type (if it's a sorcery) are ignored. Other restrictions are not (such as the one from Rule of Law).
• 6/15/2010: If you are unable to cast a card from exile this way, or you choose not to, nothing happens when the delayed triggered ability resolves. The card remains exiled for the rest of the game, and you won't get another chance to cast the card. The same is true if the ability is countered (due to Stifle, perhaps).
• 6/15/2010: If you cast a card from exile this way, it will go to your graveyard when it resolves or is countered. It won't go back to exile.
• 6/15/2010: As long as World at War resolves before the first postcombat main phase of a turn ends, it will have its full effect. That will happen in most cases, since it's a sorcery (meaning it's probably cast during the first or second main phase of a turn), and it has rebound (meaning it'll be cast during your upkeep). If, however, it's cast later than that, it won't create any new phases. For example, if one World at War creates a second combat phase and a third main phase in a turn, then a second World at War is cast during that third main phase, no additional phases are created. The rebound effect still works, though.
• 6/15/2010: Multiple World at War effects are cumulative, as long as they're cast early enough. The first one modifies the turn structure to this: beginning phase, precombat main phase, combat phase, postcombat main phase, [new combat phase], [new postcombat main phase], ending phase. Each subsequent one inserts another combat phase and main phase into the turn after the original postcombat main phase and before the newest combat phase.
• 6/15/2010: Unlike other similar cards (such as Relentless Assault), World at War doesn't untap the creatures that have attacked this turn when it resolves. Rather, those creatures untap when the new combat phase created by the spell begins. All creatures that attacked this turn untap, regardless of which combat phase they attacked in (if there have been more than one) or who controls them (if you're playing a Two-Headed Giant game, for example).
• 6/15/2010: You don't have to attack with any creatures during the new combat phase.
