Fifth Edition

 Fünfte Edition  Cinquième Edition  Quinta Edizione  Quinta Edición  Quinta Edição

1. Abyssal Specter

2. Animate Dead

• It follows all the rules for Aura (Enchant Creature) cards. [WotC Rules Team 1997/03/14] For example, it counts for abilities that interact with creature enchantments, such as Rabid Wombat. [Aahz 1997/06/06]
• You can Animate a creature which was discarded from a hand and therefore was never in play. [D'Angelo 1994/04/01]
• The creature comes out as if it were just played. Any X in the mana cost is zero (see Rule G24.1). So animating a Rock Hydra gives you a hydra with zero heads. [Mirage, Page 31]
• When putting a card into play that requires a definition for its value, such as with Minion of the Wastes, you do what is needed to define the value. [WotC Rules Team 1998/02/02] In the case of Minion of the Wastes, you pay life to define its values.
• The animated creature comes into play with summoning sickness (see Rule G19.39), so it cannot attack until it begins one of its controller's turns in play. [D'Angelo 1998/02/03]
• This is a targeted ability. Note that cards in the graveyard do not have Protection from Color abilities (see Rule 402.8). [D'Angelo 2002/12/19]
• If the creature card put into play has Protection from Black (or a similar effect that prevents Animate Dead from legally being attached), then it will fail to become attached and it as per Rule 212.4k, which states that an Aura trying to move onto an illegal permanent will stay where it is. Then the Animate Dead will go to the graveyard as an Aura that is not enchanting anything. This will sacrifice the creature as well, as stated by the card text. [D'Angelo 2007/10/20]
• If the creature phases out (see Rule 502.15) without the Animate Dead because Animate Dead has been affected by Spatial Binding, the Animate Dead is put into the graveyard but the creature is not. The creature will phase in perfectly normal since the Animate Dead ability did not destroy it. [Aahz 1997/02/16]
• It cannot move to a different creature using Aura moving effects. [D'Angelo 2007/09/08]
• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - Also see Comes Into Play Abilities, Rule 410.10a.
• Note - Also see Put Into Play, Rule G16.34.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchantment" until Oracle 2007/09/01 when it became "Enchantment - Aura".
• Note - The Limited Edition, Unlimited Edition, Revised Edition, and Fourth Edition versions had this card as an Enchant Dead Creature. [D'Angelo 1997/04/11]

3. Ashes to Ashes

• Must have 2 targets at time of casting in order to be declared. [Duelist Magazine #3, Page 6]
• If one target is removed or becomes invalid after declaration, the other target is still affected. [bethmo 1994/09/15] You take the damage if at least one target is removed from the game. [D'Angelo 1995/05/17]

4. Bad Moon

5. Black Knight

• Note - Also see First Strike, Rule 502.2.

• Note - This card was creature type "Knight" until Oracle 2007/09/01 when it became "Human Knight".

7. Bog Imp

9. Bog Wraith

• Note - Also see Landwalk, Rule 502.6.
• Note - The Portal version had no creature type.

10. Breeding Pit

• Must actually be in play at the end of turn in order for you to get a Thrull. The getting of the Thrull is not part of paying the upkeep, it is part of having the card in play. [D'Angelo 1995/04/12]
• Note - Also see Token Creatures, Rule 216.

11. Broken Visage

• The Spirit token creature gets a fixed power/toughness equal to the power/toughness of the target creature when Broken Visage resolves. This includes the effects of any enchantments or other effects on the target creature. The Shadow token never gets a variable power/toughness. [D'Angelo 1995/10/29]
• The token creature comes into play under your control regardless of who controlled the target creature. [Duelist Magazine #9, Page 36]
• Note - Errata changed the token creature's type from Shadow to Spirit.
• Note - Also see Token Creatures, Rule 216.

• This card, as with all instants cards, goes to the graveyard when it resolves. It does not stay in play. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]
• Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have banned this card since 2000/04/01.
• Note - In Mirage, Fifth Edition, Tempest, and Urza's Saga, this spell was of type Mana Source. In Ice Age, Fourth Edition (and before), it was of type Interrupt. It is now of type Instant.

16. Deathgrip

17. Derelor

18. Drain Life

• You can put as much black mana as you want into this spell's X value, but you cannot gain more life than the creature's toughness. [D'Angelo 1996/07/01]
• You may gain up to the total toughness of the creature even if it was already damaged. [PPG Page 70]
• Cost reducers, such as Helm of Awakening can be used to reduce the X part of the mana cost. [WotC Rules Team 1997/06/01]
• Note - Also see X Costs, Rule G24.1.
• Note - Before errata, the X part of the cost was not part of the mana cost; it was part of the card's text. [Oracle 1999/07/01] This means the X cost is now part of the cost for things like Spell Blast.
• Note - The artist's name, Shuler, was misspelled on the Limited Edition and Unlimited Edition versions of this card.

19. Drudge Skeletons

20. Erg Raiders

• If unable to attack because it is tapped or something, it still deals 2 damage to the controller of this card. [bethmo 1994/06/01]
• Note - The Arabian Nights version of this card has two versions, one with a small dark circle behind the "1" in the mana cost (rarity C3) and one with a normal mana circle behind the cost (rarity C2).
• Note - This card was of creature type "Raider" and not "Human Warrior" until Oracle 2007/09/01.

21. Evil Eye of Orms-by-Gore

• Note - In Fifth Edition and Legends this card was of creature type "Evil Eye", then it was type "Horror" until Oracle 2006/10/01 and Time Spiral when it became "Eye".

22. Evil Presence

• A changed land is considered to be the new land type in all ways. This is not just a change of name. It changes the color of mana produced too. [Mirage, Page 58]
• Will not add or remove Snow-Covered nature from a land. [Duelist Magazine #6, Page 132]
• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Land" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

23. Fallen Angel

• You can use the sacrifice ability as many times in a turn as you want to, with one creature sacrificed each time. [Aahz 1994/06/14]
• Can sacrifice itself. [Duelist Magazine #5, Page 123]

24. Fear

• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - Also see Fear, Rule 502.25.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" prior to Ninth Ediiton and Oracle 2005/08/01.

25. Frozen Shade

• Note - The artist's name, Shuler, was misspelled on the Limited Edition and Unlimited Edition versions of this card.

26. Funeral March

• Phasing out will trigger the sacrifice effect. [bethmo 1996/09/17]
• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

27. Gloom

• The additional mana is paid at the same time the spell/ability is announced. [bethmo 1996/06/20]
• The extra mana is not considered part of the mana cost (see Rule G13.7). A Spell Blast would still only require the original mana cost as X in order to counter the spell. [Aahz 1994/09/02]
• The extra mana is not considered part of the activation cost. It is a separate cost. [Aahz 1994/09/02]
• The extra mana is part of the play cost, so cost reducers like Helm of Awakening can be used to pay part of this cost.

28. Greater Werewolf

• This ability is played at end of combat so it only works if it is still alive at that time. [Aahz 1996/09/11]
• Note - This card was creature type "Lycanthrope" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Human Wolf".

29. Hecatomb

• The sacrifice is done as a triggered ability just after it enters play. It is not done on announcement. [D'Angelo 1995/10/27]
• If you have less than 4 creatures, you do not partially sacrifice. You pay 4 creatures or none. [WotC Rules Team 1995/06/15]
• You choose whether to sacrifice creatures or not on resolution. If not, then you sacrifice this card. You can choose to not sacrifice creatures if you no longer control this card on resolution. [D'Angelo 1999/06/01]
• Note - Also see Comes Into Play Abilities, Rule 410.10a.

30. Howl from Beyond

• Note - Also see X Costs, Rule G24.1.

31. Initiates of the Ebon Hand

• Mana which "changes color" as it goes through the Hand forgets its original source because the old mana gets used up and new mana gets generated. [Aahz 1995/01/24]

32. Kjeldoran Dead

• If you control no creatures in play (other than this one) when it enters play, you have to sacrifice this card. [Duelist Magazine #6, Page 132]
• The sacrifice is a triggered ability (see Rule 404) and not a cost. [Duelist Magazine #16, Page 25]
• Note - Also see Comes Into Play Abilities, Rule 410.10a.
• Note - In Ice Age and Fifth Edition this card was of creature type Dead.

33. Knight of Stromgald

• Note - Also see Protection, Rule 502.7.
• Note - This card was creature type "Knight" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Human Knight".

34. Krovikan Fetish

• If it is moved to a new creature by something that moves enchantments, the controller of the Fetish does not get to draw another card. [D'Angelo 1998/05/04]
• You do not get a card if the target becomes illegal and Krovikan Fetish is countered when it would resolve. This is because it never successfully comes into play. [D'Angelo 1995/06/20]
• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - Also see Comes Into Play Abilities, Rule 410.10a.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

35. Leshrac's Rite

• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - Also see Landwalk, Rule 502.6.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

36. Lord of the Pit

• If you have a creature, you must sacrifice it. The 7 damage can only be taken if no creature can be sacrificed. [Duelist Magazine #3, Page 15]
• You can sacrifice a Lord of the Pit to a different Lord of the Pit. [Aahz 1994/09/14]
• If you have two Lords of the Pit, you can sacrifice them to each other. [D'Angelo 2001/04/16]
• You can select creatures with Protection from Black to be sacrificed. [Aahz 1994/04/01]
• Circle of Protection: Black can be used to prevent the damage. [bethmo 1994/03/01]
• Note - Also see Trample, Rule 502.9.

37. Lost Soul

• Note - Also see Landwalk, Rule 502.6.
• Note - This card was creature type "Lost Soul" until Sixth Edition, when it became "Minion". Then with Oracle 2007/10/01 it became "Spirit Minion".

38. Mind Ravel

• You still draw a card if opponent had no cards in hand. [WotC Rules Team 1995/06/15]

39. Mind Warp

• The target player decides what order to put the cards in the graveyard. You decide which cards, but they do the discarding. [Duelist Magazine #14, Page 27]
• Note - Also see X Costs, Rule G24.1.

40. Mindstab Thrull

• The defending player gets to choose which cards they discard. [Duelist Magazine #4, Page 7]

41. Mole Worms

42. Murk Dwellers

• Note - This card was creature type "Murk Dwellers" until Oracle 1999/09/01, when it became "Murk-Dwellers". Then with Oracle 2007/10/01 it became "Zombie".

43. Necrite

44. Necropotence

• If the card is not still in the graveyard when the trigger resolves, it does not remove the card form the game. [D'Angelo 2008/07/12]
• Removing Necropotence from play will not stop the cards from the life-payment ability from being put into your hand at the end of turn. [D'Angelo 1998/11/13]
• Only has the effect of making you skip your draw step if it is in play when your draw step would normally start. [WotC Rules Team 1995/10/18]
• The acquired cards are not considered draws. They will not cause damage with Underworld Dreams or have Enduring Renewal detect creatures. [D'Angelo 1995/12/08]
• Can be used with Fasting. The reason is that Necropotence does not force you to skip your draw step unless it is in play at the end of your upkeep phase. Fasting allows you to mark the draw step as "skipped" during upkeep prior to Necropotence kicking in. [Aahz 1996/01/16]
• Necropotence interacts with Madness (see Rule 502.24) so you cannot use the Madness ability. This is because Madness turns "discard to graveyard" into "discard to removed from game" and Necropotence turns any discard into simply "remove from game" with no discard. Madness only works if you remove it from game as part of its ability. [Jordan 2002/03/03]
• The discard removal was a replacement ability until 2008/07/01 when it was made into a triggered ability. [D'Angelo 2008/07/12]
• Vintage tournaments (see Rule 801) have restricted this card since 2000/10/01.
• Legacy tournaments (see Rule 802) have banned this card since 2000/10/01.
• Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have banned this card since 2001/04/01.
• Note - Also see Skipping a Phase, Rule 419.6e.

45. Nether Shadow

• Note that bringing the Shadow back into play from the graveyard is not a spell, it is an ability. It cannot be countered with something that counters spells. [bethmo 1994/05/14]
• Since it comes into play due to triggering at the beginning of upkeep, it is not possible to get an infinite loop with four Nether Shadows. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
• Note - In all printings it was of creature type "Shadow" but it is now of creature type "Spirit".

46. Nightmare

• If you run out of Swamps, the Nightmare dies as a state-based effect (see Rule 420) right before the next player gains priority. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]
• Note - This card was creature type "Nightmare" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Nightmare Horse".
• Note - The Beta printing version of this card has a blotch over the word Swamp that is not in any of the other printings.

47. Paralyze

• It can only be untapped using Paralyze once per turn. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
• Two Paralyzes are not cumulative. Paying either one will untap the creature. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
• Paying the cost is optional. [D'Angelo 1994/04/01]
• The enchantment is a permanent. It does not leave once it is paid. This is a common mistake. [D'Angelo 1994/04/01]
• Because Paralyze is paid during upkeep, the creature does avoid restrictions on the untap phase such as Smoke, and can untap when Stasis is in effect, or untap around the Meekstone. [bethmo 1994/04/01]
• The creature becomes tapped just after Paralyze comes into play (see Rule 410.10a), not when it is declared. [Aahz 1994/07/29]
• Paralyze can be played on creatures which are already tapped. [D'Angelo 1994/06/01]
• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - Also see Comes Into Play Abilities, Rule 410.10a.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

48. Pestilence

• It is not targeted, so it will try to damage creatures with Protection from Black, but note that Protection from Color immediately reduces all damage of that color to zero, so the damage is prevented before it can actually hurt the creature. [D'Angelo 1998/02/03]
• Each activation is considered a new damage effect. An activation can only be 1 point of damage. [Duelist Magazine #12, Page 26]
• It will stay in play if there is a creature which is put into the graveyard at end of turn. This is because this ability will not trigger at all if there is at least one creature in play at that time. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01] Remember that the current player's "at end of turn" effects resolve after the other player's because they are put on the stack first.
• Note that "until end of turn" effects wear off after this, so a Mishra's Factory can keep Pestilence in play. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]
• Applies to all players and their creatures in multiplayer games. [Duelist Magazine #4, Page 64]

49. Pit Scorpion

• Note - Also see Poison, Rule G16.21.

50. Plague Rats

• "Plague Rats in play" means Plague Rats in play controlled by any and all players. [D'Angelo 1994/04/01]
• Only counts cards that are "Plague Rats" and not all cards that are "Creature - Rats" (or "Summon Rats" on older cards). [D'Angelo 1994/06/01]

51. Pox

• Creatures with Protection from Black are not ignored by Pox. This is not considered a targeted effect so they are both counted and valid choices for being destroyed. [D'Angelo 1996/02/01]

52. Rag Man

• Note - This card was creature type "Rag Man" until Seventh Edition, when it became "Minion". Then with Oracle 2007/10/01, it became "Human Minion".

53. Raise Dead

• A "creature card" is a Creature card or Artifact Creature card. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01] Older cards of type Summon are also Creature cards.
• You must show the card you bring out of the graveyard to your opponent. [bethmo 1994/10/01]
• You can Raise Dead a creature which was discarded from your hand and was therefore never in play. [D'Angelo 1994/10/01]
• The creature being brought back is chosen on announcement and not on resolution of the spell because it is targeted. [Duelist Magazine #5, Page 123]
• Although the text isn't totally clear, the targeted creature card must be in your graveyard. [D'Angelo 2007/02/28]

54. Scathe Zombies

55. Sengir Autocrat

• When it leaves play, it removes all Serfs in play and not just the ones it generated or just the ones under your control. [Duelist Magazine #9, Page 37]
• The token creatures are black. [Oracle 1999/06/30]
• Note - Also see Comes Into Play Abilities, Rule 410.10a.
• Note - Also see Token Creatures, Rule 216.
• Note - In Fifth Edition and Homelands this card was of creature type "Autocrat". It was then of type "Minion" until Oracle 2006/10/01 when it became "Human".

56. Sorceress Queen

• Creatures with power or toughness calculated (such as Nightmare or Keldon Warlord) have their power/toughness overridden to be 0/2 so their normal ability to have their power/toughness recalculated won't do anything useful while the Sorceress effect is upon that creature. Same goes for Angry Mob. [bethmo 1996/01/30]
• Note - This card was creature type "Sorceress" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Human Wizard".

57. Stromgald Cabal

• Note - This card was creature type "Knight" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Human Knight".

58. Terror

• As with all targeted spells, the requirements for targeting are checked when declaring the effect and when resolving it. So, if the creature becomes a black or artifact creature after this spell is declared and before it is resolved, then the spell is countered. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]

59. The Wretched

• This means it affects ones currently being blocked by this card at the end of combat and not ones that might have been removed by an effect such as General Jarkeld. [Duelist Magazine #8, Page 47]
• If The Wretched blocks and regenerates, it is removed from combat, so The Wretched will not be blocking anything at the end of combat. This means there will be no creatures blocking it when the triggered ability resolves and so the ability does nothing. [D'Angelo 1999/04/25]
• Note - Thie card was creature type "Wretched" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Demon".

60. Thrull Retainer

• When you use the activated ability, this card goes to the graveyard when you announce the ability, but the enchanted creature does not get regenerated until the ability resolves. It has no bonus while the ability is on the stack and this may destroy the creature before the regeneration can take effect. [D'Angelo 2003/05/20]
• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

61. Torture

• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

62. Touch of Death

63. Unholy Strength

• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - The Fourth Edition version of this card has a modified version of the card art used in Limited Edition through Revised Edition. The red flaming pentagram in the background was removed.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Ninth Edition and Oracle 2005/08/01.

64. Vampire Bats

65. Wall of Bone

• Note - Also see Defender, Rule 502.41.
• Note - Also see Walls, Rule G23.1.
• Note - This card was creature type "Wall" until Oracle 2008/01/01, when it became "Skeleton Wall".

66. Warp Artifact

• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Artifact" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

67. Weakness

• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

68. Xenic Poltergeist

• Wears off at the beginning of the upkeep, not during upkeep. [bethmo 1994/06/01]
• Note - Also see Changing a Permanent's Type, Rule 212.1c.
• Note - Also see Converted Mana Cost, Rule G3.30.
• Note - This card was creature type "Poltergeist" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Spirit".

69. Zombie Master

• Does not grant the abilities to itself. [PPG Page 225]
• The regeneration ability is actually added to the card text of all Zombies. The Swampwalk ability is just granted to them. [Aahz 1997/03/18]
• Note - Also see Landwalk, Rule 502.6.
• Note - This card was creature type "Lord" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Zombie".

70. Æther Storm

• Affects creature and artifact creature cards, plus the older summon cards. [D'Angelo 1999/08/01]
• Does not prevent a creature card from being put into play by a spell or ability, but it does prevent the playing of creature cards as spells or using effects that allow you to play creature cards directly. [D'Angelo 2002/06/12]

71. Air Elemental

72. Anti-Magic Aura

• The creature can be targeted by abilities. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

73. Azure Drake

74. Binding Grasp

• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

75. Boomerang

76. Brainstorm

• This is all one effect. You draw 3 and return 2 cards all in one resolution. Nothing may be used between the two. [D'Angelo 1999/10/12]
• Vintage tournaments (see Rule 801) have restricted this card since 2008/06/20.

77. Counterspell

• Note - In Fifth Edition (and before) this was an Interrupt. All such spells are now Instants.

78. Dance of Many

• Note - Also see Copying Objects, Rule 503. There are enough important rules there that they are worth reading first.
• Treat the token as coming into play as a copy of the chosen creature. If that creature normally gets counters when played, the token creature gets counters. [D'Angelo 2001/08/31]
• Destroying the creature that was copied will not cause the token creature to be destroyed as well. [Aahz 1994/10/21]
• The ability is targeted and checks the validity of the target when declared and when resolving. If the creature is not still there when the copy resolves, the copy ability is countered and no token is put into play. This card remains in play as a global enchantment with no token. [D'Angelo 1999/08/31]
• The mana cost is copied. This makes Dance of Many the exception to the rule that token creatures have a mana cost of zero. [D'Angelo 1999/08/01]
• The creature is still considered a token creature, so if you happen to copy a Drudge Skeletons, the Skeleton token would still be susceptible to Drudge Spell. [Aahz 1996/03/02]
• The "remove from game" triggered abilities are on Dance of Many and not from the token. [D'Angelo 1996/10/01] If Dance of Many loses its abilities, removing one from play won't destroy the other.
• Each Dance of Many is associated only with its token creature. If one leaves play, only the corresponding token is affect, not all tokens from all instances of Dance of Many. [D'Angelo 1997/05/19]
• Note - Also see Comes Into Play Abilities, Rule 410.10a.
• Note - Also see Copying Objects, Rule 503.
• Note - Also see Token Creatures, Rule 216.

79. Dandân

80. Dark Maze

• Note - Also see Defender, Rule 502.41.
• Note - Also see Walls, Rule G23.1.

81. Deflection

• Only targets the spell being Deflected and not the original or new target of the spell it is affecting. [Aahz 1995/07/09]
• You choose the spell to target on announcement, but you pick the new target for that spell on resolution. [bethmo 1999/11/30]
• You cannot make a spell which is on the stack target itself. Thus, you cannot make Counterspell target itself or make another Deflection target itself. [D'Angelo 1999/12/07]
• You can choose to make a spell on the stack target the Deflection you are playing (if such a target choice would be legal had the spell be cast while Deflection was on the stack). The new target for the Deflected spell is not chosen until Deflection resolves. Deflection is still on the stack when new targets are selected for the spell. [D'Angelo 2000/06/20]
• Once Deflection resolves, the new target is considered to be targeted by the deflected spell. This will trigger any effects, such as Skulking Ghost, which trigger on being targeted. [bethmo 1997/08/08]
• A Counterspell can be changed to target something that is further down the stack (meaning the target will resolve before the Counterspell does). [D'Angelo 2000/05/20]
• Note - In Fifth Edition and Ice Age this card was of type Interrupt. All such cards are now of type Instant.

82. Drain Power

• Since this is a sorcery, your opponent may use instants and abilities of permanents in response to this spell before you get the mana from their mana pool and lands. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
• If a land can draw more than one color of mana (by choice) then the target player (not the caster of this spell) chooses which colors are drawn at the time they draw it. [bethmo 1994/06/01]
• If a land can draw a variable amount of mana, the target player (not the caster of this spell) chooses how much to draw. [D'Angelo 2002/07/21]
• During the resolution of this spell, the targeted player plays mana abilities of his or her lands one at a time until each land has had a mana ability played once, or the remaining lands have no mana abilities that can be played. [D'Angelo 2008/09/06]
• If a mana ability has a cost to play it, the cost must be paid if it can be paid using available resources (such as mana already in the mana pool, or a creature already in play if it requires a sacrifice). [D'Angelo 2008/09/06]

83. Energy Flux

91. Glacial Wall

• Note - Also see Defender, Rule 502.41.
• Note - Also see Walls, Rule G23.1.

92. Homarid Warrior

• The ability to make itself not be targetable can be used in response to being targeted. Since spells and abilities resolve in last-to-first order, the Warrior becomes untargetable before the targeted spell or ability resolves and causes the targeted spell or ability to fizzle. Note that if you use this ability before being targeted, that a targeted spell or ability used in the same stack will resolve first. [D'Angelo 1999/08/01]
• The ability can be activated more than once in a single batch if you need it to be. [D'Angelo 1998/02/03]
• Does not cause enchantments on it to be removed when the effect is activated. An enchantment in play is neither a spell nor an ability. [Duelist Magazine #4, Page 7]
• It taps when the ability resolves if it was not already tapped. It may be used even if it is already tapped. [Aahz 1994/12/02]
• Note - Also see Shroud, Rule 502.36.
• Note - This card was creature type "Homarid" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Homarid Warrior".

93. Hurkyl's Recall

• Retrieves all artifacts owned by the target player regardless of who controls them. Ignores artifacts owned by other players even if target player has control of them. [D'Angelo 1994/06/01]
• It only returns artifacts which are in play. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
• Vintage tournaments (see Rule 801) restricted this card from 1999/10/01 until 2003/04/01.
• Legacy tournaments (see Rule 802) banned this card from 1999/10/01 until 2003/04/01.

94. Hydroblast

• You can target any spell or permanent, it need not be red. It just does not do anything unless the color matches. [D'Angelo 1995/06/09]
• The decision to counter a spell or destroy a permanent is a decision made on announcement before a target of the proper type is selected. If the spell is redirected, this mode cannot be changed, so only targets of the selected type are valid. [WotC Rules Team 1995/09/22] See Rule G13.13 on Modal spells.
• Note - Also see Modal Spells and Abilities, Rule G13.13.
• Note - This card was of type Interrupt and is now type Instant. [Oracle 2000/02/01]

95. Juxtapose

• The choices of what to exchange are made on resolution. They are not made on announcement. [bethmo 1996/12/07]
• Must trade creatures and artifacts if possible, but can trade just one kind or neither kind if none are available to trade. [Aahz 1994/06/16]
• Does not target either creature. So the spell allows you to choose creatures with Protection from Blue when making the choice of highest cost creatures. [Aahz 1995/10/24]
• Note - Also see Converted Mana Cost, Rule G3.30.

96. Krovikan Sorcerer

• The cards are discarded from your hand during announcement and as a cost. [Duelist Magazine #11, Page 56]
• It is not a forced discard, so it cannot be used with Library of Leng. [Duelist Magazine #11, Page 56]
• Note - This card was creature type "Wizard" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Human Wizard".

97. Labyrinth Minotaur

98. Leviathan

• You don't have to pay the untap cost if it is untapped outside the upkeep phase or is untapped by an effect. [Duelist Magazine #3, Page 7]
• To make it attack, the two Islands are sacrificed at the time it is declared as an attacker. This is an increase to the cost to attack. [D'Angelo 1998/06/05]
• Note - Also see Trample, Rule 502.9.

99. Lifetap

• Gives one life for each and every Forest tapped. [bethmo 1994/04/01]
• Since it detects a Forest becoming tapped, it even works if the Forest is tapped with Twiddle or Icy Manipulator. [D'Angelo 1994/04/01]
• It works if the land being tapped is only part Forest or "counts as a Forest" regardless of what mana type it is tapped for. [Aahz 1994/07/28]
• In multi-player games it affects all opponents. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]

100. Lord of Atlantis

• Does not grant the abilities to itself. [D'Angelo 2006/10/08]
• Note - Also see Landwalk, Rule 502.6.
• Note - In the Alpha, Beta, and Unlimited Editions this card was of creature type "Lord of Atlantis". Then it was of type "Lord" until Oracle 2006/10/01 and Time Spiral when it became "Merfolk Lord". Then with Oracle 2007/10/01 it became "Merfolk".

101. Magical Hack

• Alters all occurrences of a land word in the text box of the given card. [WotC Rules Team 1994/04/01]
• Can target a card with no land words on it. [Duelist Magazine #5, Page 23]
• Cannot change a land word to the same land word. It must be a different word. [Duelist Magazine #5, Page 23]
• Cannot Hack proper nouns (i.e. card names) such as Island Fish Jasconius. [WotC Rules Team 1994/06/01]
• Cannot change a card's name, such as changing an Island to a Plains. [D'Angelo 1999/03/26]
• Cannot add or remove the words "Snow-Covered". [Duelist Magazine #6, Page 132]
• If played on a spell being cast, and that spell becomes a permanent, the permanent enters play with an effect on it. It does not change the base characteristics of the permanent. This is just like having the permanent enter play, and then playing this spell. [bethmo 1998/05/22]
• You choose the land words on resolution. [D'Angelo 2003/02/16]
• Note - Also see Text Changing, Rule 418.6.
• Note - This card was of type Interrupt and is now of type Instant. [Oracle 2000/02/01]

102. Magus of the Unseen

• Can be used on an untapped artifact. Being tapped is not a targeting requirement. [Aahz 1995/06/08]
• The artifact taps after returning to the opponent (if it is not already tapped), so any abilities triggered off it tapping happen at that time. [Aahz 1995/07/05]
• Note - Also see Haste, Rule 502.5.
• Note - This card was creature type "Wizard" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Human Wizard".

103. Memory Lapse

• The card does not go to the graveyard before being put on the library. [bethmo 1997/10/19]
• If the spell is not countered (because the spell it targets cannot be countered), then it does not go to its owner's library. [D'Angelo 2001/04/16]
• This card has a self replacement (see Rule 419.6c). This means that it replaces going to the graveyard before any other effect can replace that event. [Rules Team 2001/05/01] If Flashback is applied using Recoup, however, Flashback will change the destination. [DeLaney 2001/10/13]
• Note - In Fifth Edition (and before) this card was of type Interrupt.

104. Merfolk of the Pearl Trident

• Note - The Portal version had no creature type.

105. Mind Bomb

• This is a forced discard. Library of Leng can be used on the discards. [D'Angelo 1999/08/01]

106. Phantasmal Forces

• Note - This card was creature type "Phantasm" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Illusion".
• Note - The Alpha printing version of this card had a 'U' where the blue mana symbol is on all further printings.

107. Phantasmal Terrain

• Basic land types are: Forest, Island, Mountain, Plains, and Swamp. All other land types are not considered basic lands. [CompRules 1999/04/23] See Rule G2.4.
• A changed land is considered to be the new land type in all ways. This is not just a change of name. It changes the color of mana produced and removes any and all special abilities the land may otherwise have had. [CompRules 1999/04/23]
• Will not add or remove Snow-Covered nature from a land. [Duelist Magazine #6, Page 132]
• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Land" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

108. Phantom Monster

• Note - This card was creature type "Phantom" until Oracle 2007/09/01 when it became "Illusion".

109. Pirate Ship

• Note - Also see Islandhome, Rule G9.19.
• Note - This card was of creature type "Ship" and not "Human Pirate" until Oracle 2006/10/01.

110. Portent

• This does not cause a player to lose if they have less than 3 cards in their library. It allows you to look at and reorder or shuffle whatever remaining cards there might be. [Duelist Magazine #6, Page 130]

111. Power Sink

• When this spell resolves, you either pay X mana or let all your lands become tapped. The lands that become tapped are not "tapped for mana". [bethmo 1997/10/09] If you choose to pay, you may pay the X mana using whatever mana abilities you want to use.
• Special lands which do not provide mana are also tapped by this card. [D'Angelo 2000/11/06]
• If the land provides mana only for specific purposes (like Mishra's Workshop), it cannot be used to pay the X mana (unless that purpose is being filled). Mishra's Workshop, like most purposed mana, could not be used to pay for Power Sink. [WotC Rules Team 1994/09/30]
• Does not increase the mana cost of the spell. It just requires a separate expenditure in order for it to succeed. [bethmo 1994/05/05]
• Note - Also see X Costs, Rule G24.1.

112. Prodigal Sorcerer

• Note - This card was of creature type "Wizard" and not "Human Wizard" until Oracle 2006/10/01 and Time Spiral.

113. Psychic Venom

• Whenever the land is tapped for any reason (including by Twiddle or Icy Manipulator), damage is done. [bethmo 1994/10/01]
• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Land" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

114. Ray of Command

• Can be used on an untapped creature. Being tapped is not a targeting requirement. [Aahz 1995/06/08]
• The creature returns to the opponent when the "until end of turn" effect wears off during the cleanup step. It taps during the Cleanup step (if it is not already tapped), so any abilities triggered off it tapping happen at that time. [D'Angelo 1999/07/10]
• Note that the creature gets summoning sickness again when it returns so it cannot be tapped for an ability or attack until it begins that player's turn under their control again. [D'Angelo 1995/08/02]
• This effect ends if the creature phases out. The creature will phase back in during your next untap phase without the Ray of Command's control effect, which typically means it will be under its original controller's control. [D'Angelo 1997/09/02]
• Note - Also see Haste, Rule 502.5.

115. Recall

• The cards are discarded from your hand during resolution. It is a forced discard, so it can be used with Library of Leng. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]
• Choose which cards in the graveyard are being recalled during resolution. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]
• The "{X}{X}{U}" mana cost is not a misprint. It means to spend one blue plus two times X generic mana to cast the spell. [Duelist Magazine #2, Page 7] See Rule G24.1.
• Vintage tournaments (see Rule 801) restricted this card from 1994/08/01 until 2003/04/01.
• Legacy tournaments (see Rule 802) banned this card until 2003/04/01.
• Standard (Type 2) tournaments (see Rule 804) restricted this card from 1994/08/01 to 1996/04/01.

116. Reef Pirates

• Note - This card was creature type "Ship" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Zombie Pirate".

117. Remove Soul

• Works on Creature and Artifact Creature cards. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]
• Note - In Fifth Edition (and before) this card was of type Interrupt.
• Note - Older cards of type "Summon" have errata to be of type "Creature".

118. Sea Serpent

• Note - Also see Islandhome, Rule G9.19.

119. Sea Spirit

• Note - This card was creature type "Spirit" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Elemental Spirit".

120. Sea Sprite

• Note - Also see Protection, Rule 502.7.

121. Seasinger

• You do not lose control of the stolen creature if it stops being a creature. You only lose control if Seasinger leaves your control or becomes untapped. [WotC Rules Team 1995/02/09]
• It only checks if the opponent controls an Island at the time the ability resolves. Once it resolves, you don't lose control if they stop having an Island. [D'Angelo 2007/10/20]

122. Segovian Leviathan

• Note - Also see Landwalk, Rule 502.6.
• Note - This card was creature type "Leviathan" until Sixth Edition, when it became "Serpent". Then with Oracle 2007/10/01 it became "Leviathan".

123. Sibilant Spirit

• Your opponent does not have to draw a card if they don't want to. [D'Angelo 1995/08/10]

124. Sleight of Mind

• If played on a spell being cast, and that spell becomes a permanent, the permanent enters play with an effect on it. It does not change the base characteristics of the permanent. This is just like having the permanent enter play, and then playing this spell except it is never in play with its original text. [bethmo 1998/05/22]
• Can target a card with no color words on it. [Duelist Magazine #5, Page 23]
• Cannot change a color word to the same color word. It must be a different word. [Duelist Magazine #5, Page 23]
• You cannot Sleight proper nouns (i.e. card names). This means that you cannot affect Black Vise. [WotC Rules Team 1995/04/26]
• You cannot Sleight explanatory references to a card's own color. This applies to Dark Heart of the Wood, Scarwood Goblins, and Marsh Goblins. [Duelist Magazine #6, Page 132]
• This spell can be used to change the "flavor text" (the italicized text) on the card. This has no game effect but uses up the spell. [bethmo 1994/04/01]
• Note - Also see Text Changing, Rule 418.6.
• Note - This card was of type Interrupt and is now of type Instant. [Oracle 2000/02/01]

125. Soul Barrier

• A creature spell is any Creature or Artifact Creature spell. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03] Older cards of type Summon are also creature spells.

126. Spell Blast

• Note - Also see Converted Mana Cost, Rule G3.30.
• Note - Also see X Costs, Rule G24.1.
• Note - In Tempest and Fifth Edition (and before) this card was of type Interrupt.

127. Stasis

• Does not prevent cards from being untapped outside the untap step. [bethmo 1994/04/01]
• Since there is no untap step, Phasing in/out (see Rule 502.15 and Rule 502.15) won't happen. [bethmo 1996/10/03]

128. Steal Artifact

• Can be used on artifact creatures. [bethmo 1994/04/01]
• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Artifact" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

129. Time Elemental

• You both sacrifice it and deal the 5 damage at end of combat. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
• You still take the 5 damage at end of combat even if it is no longer in play at that time. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
• A "nonenchanted permanent" is a permanent with no Auras on it. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]

130. Twiddle

• The opponent gets a chance to use the card being Twiddled in response to this spell if they so wish and if the card's ability is legal at the time. [D'Angelo 1994/06/01]
• Any cards which might trigger off a card becoming tapped will trigger. Thus, a Psychic Venom on a land that becomes tapped will cause 2 damage. [D'Angelo 1995/03/12] Similarly, if the card itself triggers on its own tapping, such as City of Brass, the ability will still happen. [D'Angelo 1995/04/12]
• The decision to tap or untap is made on resolution. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03] This is not a modal spell.
• The choice of target gives free range of lands, creatures, and artifacts. You do not lock in on one type as a casting decision. If the spell is Forked or redirected, the type is not fixed. [Duelist Magazine #8, Page 50]
• Twiddle to tap can target a tapped card, and Twiddle to untap can target an untapped card. [Duelist Magazine #5, Page 23]
• This is not a toggle effect. If you use Twiddle to tap a card and before it takes effect your opponent taps it, Twiddle will not untap the card. [bethmo 1994/04/01]

131. Unstable Mutation

• The -1/-1 counters stay even if the enchantment is removed, and the +3/+3 goes away when the enchantment does. [D'Angelo 1994/06/01]
• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

132. Unsummon

• Unsummon can be used during combat in the steps after attackers or blockers are declared (see Rule 308 and Rule 309) to remove an attacker or blocker so that creature does not deal damage. [D'Angelo 1994/10/01]
• Unsummon can be used during combat after combat damage is assigned but before combat damage resolves. If this happens, the creature does not receive damage, but the damage it assigned will still become dealt. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]
• If this causes an opponent to go over 7 cards when it is not their turn they need not discard until the discard phase of their next turn. [D'Angelo 1994/06/01]
• Unsummoning a token creature removes it from the game. [bethmo 1994/10/01] See Rule 216.3.

133. Updraft

134. Vodalian Soldiers

• Note - This card was creature type "Merfolk" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Merfolk Soldier".

• Note - The creature type was Falcon and is now Bird. [Oracle 2000/02/01]
• Note - Also see Vigilance, Rule 502.14.

138. Zur's Weirding

• This is continuous replacement effect that modifies a draw. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]
• If a spell or ability causes more than one card to be drawn, draw the cards one at a time and deal with this replacement before drawing the next card. [8E FAQ 2003/07/28]
• If someone pays the cost, then the card was never drawn or discarded. It just gets put into the graveyard directly from the library. [8E FAQ 2003/07/28] Gaea's Blessing can trigger from this. [D'Angelo 2000/07/24]

139. An-Havva Constable

• Note - This card was creature type "Constable" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Human".

140. Aspect of Wolf

• The bonus is recalculated every time the number of Forests you have in play changes. It is not a one-time bonus. [bethmo 1994/04/01] It is a continuous effect.
• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

141. Aurochs

• The bonus is not applied until after you check for attack legality, so it is a 2/3 creature when declaring attackers. [DeLaney 2000/03/02]
• Yes, this is supposed to be of creature type Aurochs and it is supposed to get the bonus for other creatures of its type. [Barclay 2001/06/22]
• Other creatures of type Aurochs are: Aurochs Herd, Bull Aurochs, and Rimehorn Aurochs. [D'Angelo 2006/08/01]
• Note - Also see Trample, Rule 502.9.

142. Birds of Paradise

• Note - In Fifth Edition (and before) this card was of creature type Mana Birds.

143. Carapace

• When you use the activated ability, this card goes to the graveyard when you announce the ability, but the enchanted creature does not get regenerated until the ability resolves. It has no bonus while the ability is on the stack and this may destroy the creature before the regeneration can take effect. [D'Angelo 2003/05/20]
• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

144. Cat Warriors

• Note - Also see Landwalk, Rule 502.6.

145. Chub Toad

• Note - This card was of creature type "Toad" until Oracle 2007/09/01 when it became "Frog".

146. Cockatrice

• Protection from Green does not prevent the Cockatrice's power because the ability is not a targeted effect. [WotC Rules Team 1994/02/07]
• The ability destroys the creature at the end of the combat, which is after all first strike and normal damage dealing is done. This means that a creature may have to regenerate twice to survive the combat, once from damage and once again at end of combat. [D'Angelo 1996/12/09]

147. Craw Giant

• Note - Also see Rampage, Rule 502.12.
• Note - Also see Trample, Rule 502.9.

152. Elder Druid

• The decision of whether to tap or untap is made on resolution. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]

157. Foxfire

158. Fungusaur

• Gets one counter each time it is damaged. [8E FAQ 2003/07/28] (REVERSAL)
• If more than one creature damages it at one time, it only gets one counter. [8E FAQ 2003/07/28]

• Whether or not a creature is Flying is only checked on resolution. [D'Angelo 1995/10/05]
• Note - Also see X Costs, Rule G24.1.

166. Instill Energy

• Instill Energy's untap ability will not untap the creature until it resolves. This means other spells and abilities can be used before it actually becomes untapped. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
• Any enchantments (or other effects) which are on the creature that would cause it to not be untapped (or have a cost to be untapped) during untap step do not in any way hinder or imply a cost to use this card's ability to untap once during the turn. [bethmo 1994/04/01]
• If played on an opponent's creature, you can untap their creature during your turn. [bethmo 1994/06/01]
• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - Also see Haste, Rule 502.5.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

167. Ironroot Treefolk

168. Johtull Wurm

169. Killer Bees

• Note - This card was creature type "Bee" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Insect".

170. Ley Druid

• The land is untapped as a normal ability that goes on the stack. It is not a mana ability, so it cannot be used at times that only mana abilities can be used. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
• Note - This card was of creature type "Cleric" and not "Human Druid" until Ninth Edition and Oracle 2005/08/01.

171. Lhurgoyf

• A "creature card" is a Creature card or Artifact Creature card. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01] Older cards of type Summon are also Creature cards.

172. Lifeforce

173. Living Artifact

• Does not trigger on loss of life, just on damage. [D'Angelo 1998/06/05]
• If you have two or more in play, you may trade in one counter from each during each of your upkeeps. [WotC Rules Team 1994/02/07]
• You can play it on your opponent's artifacts. The controller of the enchantment (not the controller of the artifact) uses the Living Artifact ability. [bethmo 1994/04/01]
• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Artifact" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

174. Living Lands

• Note - Also see Changing a Permanent's Type, Rule 212.1c.

175. Llanowar Elves

• Note - This card was of creature type "Elf" and not "Elf Druid" until Ninth Edition and Oracle 2005/08/01.

176. Lure

• Lure does not give a creature the ability to block the Lured creature, it just forces those creatures which are already able to block the Lured creature to do so. [D'Angelo 1994/06/01]
• Opponent does not have to power special effects in an attempt to make all creatures block the Lured creature. For example, you do not need to power a Goblin Balloon Brigade to block a flying creature with Lure, but if you do power it, the Brigade must block. [bethmo 1994/08/01] More specifically, even a cost of zero mana is an optional cost you can choose not to pay. [WotC Rules Team 2000/02/16]
• If a Lured creature is in a band, only blockers able to block the Lured creature are affected by the Lure. [bethmo 1994/10/01]
• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

177. Marsh Viper

• A player does not get poison counters if all the damage done to them by the Viper is prevented. The poison is added only if damage gets through. [Aahz 1994/08/11]
• Note - Also see Poison, Rule G16.21.
• Note - This card was creature type "Viper" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Snake".

178. Nature's Lore

179. Pradesh Gypsies

• Note - This card was creature type "Gypsy" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Human Nomad".

180. Primal Order

181. Rabid Wombat

• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - Also see Vigilance, Rule 502.14.

182. Radjan Spirit

• Can be used on a creature without Flying with no effect. [Duelist Magazine #5, Page 23]

183. Regeneration

• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.

184. Scaled Wurm

185. Scavenger Folk

• Note - The artist's name, Dennis Detwiller, is spelled incorrectly on The Dark version.
• Note - This card was creature type "Scavenger Folk" until Oracle 1999/09/01, when it became "Scavenger-Folk". Then it became "Scavenger". Then with Oracle 2007/10/01 it became "Human".

186. Scryb Sprites

187. Shanodin Dryads

• Note - Also see Landwalk, Rule 502.6.
• Note - In Fifth Edition (and before) this card was of creature type Nymph.

189. Stampede

• Note - Also see Trample, Rule 502.9.

190. Stream of Life

• Note - Also see X Costs, Rule G24.1.

191. Sylvan Library

• Spells and abilities are resolved one at a time, so if you use multiple Sylvan Libraries in one stack, each will resolve in sequence. You do not get to draw all the cards at once then put them all back at once. [WotC Rules Team 1994/09/15]
• You always resolve your normal draw before this ability because the normal draw is resolved before anything is placed on the stack. [D'Angelo 2003/12/13]
• You can return zero, one, or two cards. [WotC Rules Team 1994/09/15]
• If you only get one or fewer draws due to this effect (because the other draws were replaced), you still have to put back 2 cards if possible. Any cards drawn this turn are applicable to this. This makes the Aladdin's Lamp replacement ineffective at escaping having to put a card back, since the Lamp does put a drawn card into your hand. [D'Angelo 1997/05/21]
• If you manage not to draw cards or draw less than 2 cards, you do not lose life by not putting the undrawn cards back. Thus, you can use Mangara's Tome to get a card or two instead of drawing and avoid having to put cards back. [Aahz 1996/10/21] Abundance can also be used to avoid draws and cause no loss of life. [D'Angelo 1998/10/15]
• If you have drawn cards prior to your draw step, they can be ones chosen to be put back using this effect. [D'Angelo 1997/03/21] For example, a cantrip (see Rule 410.10a) draw or an instant used during upkeep.
• If you are going to draw cards due to triggered abilities during your draw step, your regular draw resolves first, but you can choose to order the Sylvan Library before or after any other draws (such as from Howling Mine). For example, if you have two Howling Mines, you must do your regular draw first, but then you could do the Library (draw 2 and put 2 back), then your 2 other draws. Or you can do your 2 draws, then the Library (which lets you put back any 2 of the 5 cards you drew, including your regular draw). Or you can do some of the draws before and some after the library. [D'Angelo 2002/04/20]
• This will count as 2 draws for anything that affects "drawn cards". [D'Angelo 1995/07/11]

192. Tarpan

• Note - This card was creature type "Tarpan" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Horse".

193. Thicket Basilisk

• Creatures can regenerate from the Basilisk's power. [D'Angelo 1994/06/01]
• Protection from Green does not prevent the Basilisk's power because the ability is not a targeted effect. [WotC Rules Team 1994/02/07]
• The ability destroys the creature at the end of the combat, which is after all first strike and normal damage dealing is done. This means that a creature may have to regenerate twice to survive the combat, once from damage and once again at end of combat. [D'Angelo 1995/12/09]

194. Titania's Song

• The "this effect continues until end of turn" applies to the entire continuous ability, so that if a new non-creature artifact entered play after this left play, it would become a creature as per the ability. [D'Angelo 2008/04/19]
• Note - Also see Converted Mana Cost, Rule G3.30.

195. Tranquility

• Destroys all cards that read "Enchant xxx" as well as those reading "Enchantment". [bethmo 1994/06/01]

196. Tsunami

197. Untamed Wilds

• Can get a Snow-Covered land. [Duelist Magazine #6, Page 132]
• You do not have to find a basic land card if you do not want to. See Rule G19.4. [D'Angelo 2001/07/14]

198. Venom

• If this enchantment is moved onto a creature after blockers are declared, creatures blocking the newly enchanted creature are not affected. This is because the ability triggers on at the time blocking occurs. [D'Angelo 1996/12/13]
• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

199. Verduran Enchantress

• The ability is a triggered ability (see Rule 404). Whenever you announce an enchantment spell, you immediately get the option of drawing a card as part of the triggered ability. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01] If the spell is later countered, you still get the card. [D'Angelo 2007/01/03]
• Does not trigger on the moving of an enchantment from one permanent to another. [D'Angelo 1995/07/25]
• Does trigger on enchantments that are cast as instants. [Duelist Magazine #16, Page 28]
• Note - In Fifth Edition (and before) this card was of creature type "Enchantress". In Sixth Edition, it was a "Wizard". In Seventh Edition and Eighth Edition, it was "Druid".

200. Wall of Brambles

202. War Mammoth

• Note - Also see Trample, Rule 502.9.
• Note - This card was creature type "Mammoth" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Elephant".

203. Whirling Dervish

• If it damages the opponent multiple times in a turn, it gets only one +1/+1 counter at end of turn. [D'Angelo 2001/06/22]
• Note - Also see Protection, Rule 502.7.
• Note - This card was of creature type "Dervish" and not "Human Monk" until Oracle 2006/10/01 and Time Spiral.

204. Wild Growth

• The additional mana is not an ability of the land and is not something the land can produce for purposes of Fellwar Stone, Reflecting Pool, and similar cards. [DeLaney 1999/07/21]
• The additional {G} is not a valid choice for Mana Flare and similar cards. This mana is produced by a triggered ability. [DeLaney 1999/08/10]
• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Land" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

205. Winter Blast

207. Wyluli Wolf

• Note - The Arabian Nights card comes in two versions. One has a smaller, darker mana circle (C4 rarity), and the other has a normal mana circle (C1 rarity).

208. Ambush Party

• Note - Also see First Strike, Rule 502.2.
• Note - Also see Haste, Rule 502.5.
• Note - This card was creature type "Ambush-Party" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Human Rogue".

209. Atog

210. Ball Lightning

• The creature is sacrificed at the end of every turn in which it is in play. There is no choice about what turn to sacrifice it. [D'Angelo 1998/06/05]
• Note - Also see Haste, Rule 502.5.
• Note - Also see Trample, Rule 502.9.
• Note - This card was of creature type "Ball Lightning" until Oracle 1999/09/20, when it became "Ball-Lightning" until Oracle 2007/09/01, when it became "Elemental".

212. Blood Lust

• The check against toughness to decide if it applies +4/-4 or calculates a value for X is done during resolution. This decision and the value of X (if appropriate) is locked in on resolution and is not recalculated. [D'Angelo 2005/12/01]

213. Brassclaw Orcs

214. Brothers of Fire

• Note - This card was of creature type "Brother" until Oracle 2007/09/01 when it became "Human Shaman".

215. Cave People

• Note - Also see Landwalk, Rule 502.6.
• Note - This card was creature type "Cave-People" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Human".

• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Land" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

217. Crimson Manticore

218. Detonate

• If the artifact becomes an illegal target before resolution, then no damage is done. [Duelist Magazine #5, Page 23]
• Note - Also see Converted Mana Cost, Rule G3.30.
• Note - Also see X Costs, Rule G24.1.

219. Disintegrate

• The "can't regenerate" is an effect of Disintegrate and not an effect of the damage. So it works even if the damage is prevented or redirected away. If redirected, the damage does not take this effect with it. [WotC Rules Team 1994/02/07]
• Disintegrated creatures do not go to the graveyard at all before leaving the game. They do not trigger abilities which happen due to a creature going to the graveyard. [WotC Rules Team 1994/09/15]
• Note - Also see X Costs, Rule G24.1.

220. Dwarven Catapult

• Count the number of creatures on resolution of the spell and divide X by that number at that time. [WotC Rules Team 1994/12/15] If the number of creatures changes before resolution, the damage done may be different than what you expected.
• Note - Also see X Costs, Rule G24.1.

221. Dwarven Soldier

• Note - This card was of creature type "Dwarf" until Oracle 2007/09/01 when it became "Dwarf Soldier"

222. Dwarven Warriors

• Can enhance the creature any way you want after the Dwarves make it unblockable without losing the effect. [bethmo 1994/04/01]
• Can be used after a creature is blocked but has no effect. Once a creature is blocked, it cannot be unblocked. [bethmo 1994/04/01]
• Note - This card was creature type "Dwarf" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Dwarf Warrior".

223. Earthquake

• This is not a targeted spell, so it may be cast when there are no creatures in play. [bethmo 1994/06/01]
• Whether or not a creature is without Flying is only checked on resolution. [D'Angelo 1995/10/05]
• Note - Also see X Costs, Rule G24.1.

224. Errantry

• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

226. Fire Drake

227. Fireball

• If split for multiple targets, each target can receive only one of the splits. You may not multiply target something. [bethmo 1994/06/01]
• If the damage to creatures is redirected to the player (via Jade Monolith or other effect), the damage from the Fireball can all be prevented with one use of a Circle of Protection. The trick is that all damage from one use of a spell/ability can be prevented at once. [WotC Rules Team 1996/10/03]
• The mana spent for extra targets is not part of the mana cost. It's an extra cost. [D'Angelo 2005/12/01]
• Note - Also see X Costs, Rule G24.1.

228. Firebreathing

• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Ninth Edition and Oracle 2005/08/01.

230. Flare

231. Flashfires

232. Game of Chaos

• To "double the stakes" means to double the amount of life lost or gained. [D'Angelo 1999/01/18]

233. Giant Strength

• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

234. Goblin Digging Team

235. Goblin Hero

236. Goblin King

• It does not affect itself because it only affects other goblins. [D'Angelo 2005/11/01]
• Note - Also see Landwalk, Rule 502.6.
• Note - In Limited Edition and Unlimited Edition it was of creature type Goblin King.
• Note - This card was of creature type "Lord" and not "Goblin Lord" until Ninth Edition and Oracle 2005/08/01. Then it became just "Goblin" with Tenth Edition and Oracle 2007/07/13.

237. Goblin War Drums

• Multiple War Drums are not cumulative. They are redundant. [Aahz 1994/12/03]
• If a banded group is used, one member of the band must be blocked by at least 2 creatures at once. You do not need 2 creatures for each member of the band and you cannot use 1 creature each on 2 different members of a band. [WotC Rules Team 1994/12/15]
• When combined with Familiar Ground, it can make all your creatures unblockable. [Duelist Magazine #19, Page 34] Also works with Stalking Tiger. [D'Angelo 1998/02/03]

238. Goblin Warrens

• The token Goblins can be fed back to the Warrens to generate new Goblins. They are Goblin creatures in every way. [Duelist Magazine #4, Page 7] Basically, you are paying R2 for each Goblin. But, this removes enchantments from existing Goblins and now all 3 of the new ones entered play this turn cannot attack since you have not controlled them since the start of your most recent turn.
• Note - Also see Token Creatures, Rule 216.

239. Hill Giant

• Note - The Portal version had no creature type.

240. Hurloon Minotaur

245. Ironclaw Orcs

246. Jokulhaups

247. Keldon Warlord

• The power/toughness adjusts itself as a continuous effect that is recalculated after each effect resolves or anything happens which might change it. [D'Angelo 1994/06/01]
• Note - This card was creature type "Lord" until Oracle 2007/09/01 when it became "Human Barbarian".

248. Mana Clash

• Each point of damage is dealt separately, so if you are damaged twice by this spell, each time is considered a separate time this source deals damage. This means you need power a Circle of Protection: Red twice if it damages you twice and you want to avoid all the damage. [8E FAQ 2003/07/28]
• Always affects the caster and targets an opposing player. It cannot be Deflectioned back to affect the caster twice. [WotC Rules Team 1995/02/09]
• This card's coin flip has no winner or loser. [8E FAQ 2003/07/28]

249. Mana Flare

• This is a triggered mana ability. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
• Mana Flare adds one of whatever color the land produces after applying any land type or color changing effects. [Duelist Magazine #6, Page 130]
• When used with lands that produce multiple colors, such as Badlands, Mana Flare produces 2 of one color, not one of each. [bethmo 1994/05/12]
• When used with Urza's lands (and other colorless producing lands) they produce one extra colorless mana each. [bethmo 1994/05/12]
• Only produces extra mana when land is tapped for mana, not when tapped by Twiddle or for some other effect. [bethmo 1994/04/01]
• Applies to all players in multiplayer games. [Duelist Magazine #4, Page 64]
• If the land produces more than one color or type of mana at a single time, such as with Balduvian Trading Post, you choose which kind of mana the Mana Flare actually provides. [Duelist Magazine #12, Page 26]
• Any restrictions on the mana generated by the land are copied along with the color. [bethmo 1996/12/07]
• The mana is provided when the triggered ability (see Rule 404) resolves. [Duelist Magazine #18, Page 29]

250. Manabarbs

• This card has a triggered ability (see Rule 404) that causes a separate effect for 1 point of damage each time a land is tapped for mana. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]

251. Mons's Goblin Raiders

252. Mountain Goat

• Note - Also see Landwalk, Rule 502.6.
• Note - The Portal version had no creature type.

253. Orcish Artillery

• A Circle of Protection: Red can be used to prevent the damage from this card. Makes it a nice 2 point directed attack. [D'Angelo 1994/06/01]
• You do not take the 3 points of damage if the effect fails because the target is illegal. [Aahz 1994/06/06]
• Note - The Alpha printing version of this card had a mana cost of "{1}{R}". All further printings have had a "{1}{R}{R}" mana cost.
• Note - This card was creature type "Orc" and not "Orc Warrior" until Ninth Edition and Oracle 2005/08/01.

254. Orcish Captain

• The ability can be played more than once if you want. [D'Angelo 1999/08/01]

255. Orcish Conscripts

256. Orcish Farmer

257. Orcish Oriflamme

• Vintage tournaments (see Rule 801) restricted this card from 1994/01/25 to 1994/02/23.
• Note - The mana cost on the Alpha printing version of this card was just "{1}{R}", and not "{3}{R}" as appears in all other printings.

258. Orcish Squatters

• The ability triggers on the declaration of blockers (see Rule 309) if no blockers are declared for it. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]

259. Orgg

• Whether or not the creatures could attack or block is not important, just whether or not the defending player controls such a creature. [D'Angelo 1995/02/09]
• Note - Also see Trample, Rule 502.9.

260. Panic

261. Primordial Ooze

• It becomes tapped even if the damage is prevented. [D'Angelo 1994/08/01]

262. Pyroblast

• You can target any spell or permanent, it need not be blue. It just does not do anything unless the color matches. [D'Angelo 1995/06/09]
• You can use Sleight of Mind after announcing this spell to change the color word and make it do something on resolution. [D'Angelo 1995/06/09]
• The decision to counter a spell or destroy a permanent is a decision made on announcement before a target of the proper type is selected. If the spell is redirected, this mode cannot be changed, so only targets of the selected type are valid. [WotC Rules Team 1995/09/22] See Rule G13.13 on Modal spells.
• Note - Also see Modal Spells and Abilities, Rule G13.13.
• Note - This card was of type Interrupt and is now of type Instant. [Oracle 2000/02/01]

263. Pyrotechnics

• You cannot do fractional points of damage. [Duelist Magazine #2, Page 9]
• You cannot choose to do zero damage to a target. [WotC Rules Team 1995/07/19]
• You cannot choose to have zero targets. You must choose between 1 and 4 targets. [Jordan 2003/05/19]
• You can assign damage to multiple targets and are not forced to assign the same amount of damage to each target (like you are with Fireball). [D'Angelo 1995/03/07]
• No matter how much you assign to a target, it is only targeted once, and so damage is assigned once per target regardless of the amount of damage assigned to that target. [D'Angelo 1995/03/02]

264. Sabretooth Tiger

• Note - The creature type was "Tiger" in Ice Age, Fifth Edition, and Sixth Edition. It is now of type "Cat".
• Note - Also see First Strike, Rule 502.2.

265. Shatter

• Regenerating artifacts can regenerate from this. [D'Angelo 1998/02/03]

266. Shatterstorm

267. Shivan Dragon

268. Smoke

• Lands animated by Living Lands or Kormus Bell are affected by this spell. If in play with a Winter Orb as well, untapping an animated land will count as the one creature and the one land you can untap... thereby limiting you to one thing to be untapped. You can choose to untap a non-creature land and a creature if you want. [bethmo 1996/02/12]
• Does not prevent cards from being untapped outside the untap phase. [bethmo 1994/04/01]

269. Stone Giant

• The Giant can throw itself (if its power is enhanced). [bethmo 1994/06/01]

275. Winds of Change

• The number of cards you originally had is the number of cards in your hand when this spell is resolved, and not when it is played. In other words, if you start with 7 cards, cast Winds of Change, and then cast 5 other instants in the same stack, then you will get 1 new card and not 6 or 7. [Aahz 1994/09/06]

289. Brainwash

• This ability is paid for during the declare attackers step of the combat phase (see Rule 308). [Aahz 1995/01/27]
• Paying Brainwash is not an instant or any other kind of ability, it is a cost increase on the declaration of the attacker. This makes it much like the way Gloom makes a white spell more expensive to cast. [WotC Rules Team 1998/03/01]
• If there are multiple combat phases during the turn, the attack cost must be paid each time if you want to attack with the creature. [D'Angelo 1999/08/01]

301. Death Ward

302. Disenchant

• Artifact creatures can regenerate from destroy effects like this. [D'Angelo 1998/02/03]

303. Divine Offering

• You may regenerate the artifact without losing the life bonus. [Duelist Magazine #2, Page 8]
• It can be used on your opponent's artifacts and you still gain the life. [bethmo 1994/09/05]
• If the target artifact becomes illegal before resolution, you do not gain any life. [Duelist Magazine #5, Page 23]
• Note - Also see Converted Mana Cost, Rule G3.30.

• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

305. Dust to Dust

• Must have 2 targets at time of casting in order to be declared. [Duelist Magazine #3, Page 6]
• If one target is removed or becomes invalid after declaration, the other target is still affected. [Aahz 1994/08/12]

306. Eye for an Eye

• Cannot be used on spells and abilities that cause loss of life. It can only be used on damage. [bethmo 1994/06/01]
• This spell is played after damage is dealt to you, so if you lost due to the original damage, you cannot use this spell to get in a final shot at your opponent. [D'Angelo 2000/02/25]
• If the damage is prevented, it was never dealt and this spell won't let you choose a source that didn't damage you. [D'Angelo 2000/02/25]
• Does white damage to your opponent. [D'Angelo 1994/06/01]

315. Island Sanctuary

• The ability is played as a replacement effect (see Rule 419) right when you would draw a card due to a spell, ability, or the mandatory draw action during the draw step. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
• You only have to skip one draw during your draw step to activate this. If you get multiple draws or you use a spell or ability during the draw step to draw extra cards, you can skip any one of those. [bethmo 1994/05/30]
• Since the draw is replaced, you cannot use the same replaced draw to pay for other spells or abilities. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
• This card does not count as an Island for any spell which expects Islands. [bethmo 1994/04/01]
• Once activated, the effect will continue until your next turn even if this card leaves play. [D'Angelo 1995/10/27]
• You can choose to skip more than one draw during your draw step, but it has no additional effect if you do so. [D'Angelo 2000/04/06]

317. Justice

• The damage done by Justice is done as a triggered ability, which is added to the stack just after the red creature or spell deals its damage. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
• Remember that Justice only works on red spell and creature sources. It does not do anything for non-creature permanents, so using Chaoslace on Justice will not cause an infinite loop. [Duelist Magazine #7, Page 9]
• If a single source does damage to multiple targets at once, Justice will add up all the damage done and deal damage to the source's controller at one time (not multiple separate damagings). [Duelist Magazine #7, Page 100]

318. Karma

• Amount of damage is determined in when effect is resolved and not when it is placed on the stack. [D'Angelo 1995/10/05]

319. Kismet

• Cards enter play tapped. They do not come into play untapped and then immediately tap, therefore they do not trigger any effects due to tapping. [D'Angelo 1998/02/03]
• It affects all opponents. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]
• It applies to cards and tokens that are put into play by an effect, as well as ones that are played from the player's hand. [D'Angelo 1999/07/03]
• It applies to cards and tokens put into play under your control by an opponent's spell or ability. For example, with Flicker. [D'Angelo 1999/07/26]
• Does not affect cards that phase in. [Duelist Magazine #19, Page 30]
• Note - In Fifth Edition (and before) it affected just one opponent.

320. Kjeldoran Royal Guard

• The effect only works as long as this card is in play. Once it leaves play, the effect can no longer redirect damage. [D'Angelo 1999/11/14]
• Note - This card was of creature type "Soldier" until Tenth Edition and Oracle 2007/07/13 when it became "Human Soldier"

321. Kjeldoran Skycaptain

326. Pearled Unicorn

327. Personal Incarnation

• The loss of life caused when the Incarnation dies cannot be prevented by any spell or ability. It is not damage. [PPG Page 113]
• You do not lose life if this card is removed from the game or sent someplace without going to the graveyard first. [Snark 1994/04/01]
• If the Incarnation has Creature Bond on it when it dies, the Creature Bond and the Incarnation's abilities both trigger. If the same player controls both, they can choose which order they resolve. If different players control them, then the other player's resolves first, then the current player's. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
• If two Incarnations die at once, you lose half of your life, then half of what is left. [WotC Rules Team 1994/04/01] This is because you play out the two triggered abilities (see Rule 404), one after the other.
• The owner of the Incarnation loses life when it is destroyed, not the controller. So if you control your opponent's Incarnation you can let it die to make them lose life. [bethmo 1994/09/09]
• If you have less than zero life when the Incarnation dies, treat it as if you had zero life. You do not gain life. [Aahz 1995/05/30]
• Note - This card was creature type "Avatar" until Oracle 2008/01/01, when it became "Avatar Incarnation".

• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Oracle 2005/08/01.
• Note - The Ice Age card has the old white mana symbol on it instead of the new one introduced for Fourth Edition and Ice Age. [D'Angelo 1995/07/01]

330. Repentant Blacksmith

• Note - Also see Protection, Rule 502.7.
• Note - This card was creature type "Smith" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Human".

331. Reverse Damage

• This can only affect damage which would be dealt after it resolves. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]
• It only affects damage dealt by the source one time. If the source damages you a second time this turn, the damage will not be reversed. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]
• It can be used even if you have taken no damage this turn, in order to waste the spell. [Duelist Magazine #6, Page 131]

332. Righteousness

333. Sacred Boon

334. Samite Healer

• Note - The Anthologies version of the card has a mana cost of {2}{W} instead of {1}{W}. This is an error.
• Note - This card was of creature type "Cleric" and not "Human Cleric" until Ninth Edition and Oracle 2005/08/01.

335. Seraph

• You do not get the creature back if the creature is not still in the graveyard at the end of the turn. [Aahz 1995/06/10]
• If the Seraph leaves play before the creature comes into play, then you simply get to keep the creature. [Aahz 1997/09/15] If, however, you just lost control of the Seraph and later get control of that same Seraph and lose control of it again at some time after you got the free creature, the creature will be sacrificed at that time because the Seraph remembers that it gave you that creature. [Aahz 1997/09/15]

336. Serra Bestiary

• Does prevent the use of activated mana abilities with {Tap} in the cost. [DeLaney 1999/08/10]
• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

337. Serra Paladin

338. Shield Bearer

• Note - Also see Banding, Rule 502.10.
• Note - This card was creature type "Soldier" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Human Soldier".

339. Shield Wall

340. Spirit Link

• You only gain life for damage which is not prevented regardless of what the creature damages (player or another creature) or the toughness of the blocking creature. If you put Spirit Link on a Shivan Dragon and it is blocked by a Scryb Sprites, you still gain 5 life points. If the Sprite has Protection from Red, you gain zero life since the protection reduces the damage to zero. [bethmo 1994/07/08]
• If a creature has more than one Spirit Link on it, they all work. [Aahz 1994/07/15]
• Works for damage due to combat or due to any special ability of the creature. For example, you would get one life for tapping a Prodigal Sorcerer to do damage. [Duelist Magazine #2, Page 9] Note that this is great for creatures which damage you, such as not paying the Force of Nature's upkeep, since you will get as much life as you take in damage.
• Damage that is redirected is not considered successfully dealt to the original creature or player, but it may be successful in damaging the new creature or player. [D'Angelo 1998/02/03]
• You only gain the life when the triggered ability resolves. If you are reduced to zero life before the ability resolves, you will lose before gaining the life. For example, if the creature with Spirit Link on it attacks you dealing 3 damage when you have just 3 life, you will take 3 damage and lose before the triggered ability can resolve. [D'Angelo 2003/05/16]
• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Ninth Edition and Oracle 2005/08/01.

346. Aladdin's Ring

347. Amulet of Kroog

348. Ankh of Mishra

• Triggers on any land coming into play. This includes playing a land or putting a land into play using a spell or ability. [D'Angelo 1997/05/22]
• Lands phasing in will not trigger this card (see Rule 502.15d). [Mirage, Page 2]
• It determines the land's controller at the time the ability resolves. If the land leaves play before the ability resolves, the land's last controller before it left is used. [D'Angelo 1998/10/19]
• Note - Also see Comes Into Play Abilities, Rule 410.10a.

349. Ashnod's Altar

350. Ashnod's Transmogrant

• The counter only gives the +1/+1. The artifactness is a permanent change not associated with the counter. [Aahz 1997/08/22] So if the counter is moved off of the creature the artifact nature stays.
• Note - Also see Changing a Permanent's Type, Rule 212.1c.

351. Barbed Sextant

352. Barl's Cage

• Does not prevent a creature from untapping during the upkeep step. It just stops the "normal" untap during the untap step. [D'Angelo 1999/08/01]
• Affects the next untap of that creature for whoever controls it at that time. In other words, the effect does not remember the current controller. [bethmo 1996/11/27]

353. Battering Ram

• Note - Also see Banding, Rule 502.10.
• Note - This card had no creature type until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Construct".

• Loses a counter even if it is affected by Fog or a Fog-like effect which prevents it from dealing damage. [WotC Rules Team 1995/04/26]
• If the effect to add counters is used when there are already 7 counters on it or when the number of counters to be added would cause it to exceed 7 counters, any counters over 7 are simply not added. [D'Angelo 1997/02/09]
• Note - Also see Comes Into Play Abilities, Rule 410.10a.

359. Coral Helm

• The cards are discarded from your hand during announcement and as a cost. [Duelist Magazine #11, Page 56]

360. Crown of the Ages

• Can move any enchantment on a creature to another valid creature target. Mostly this refers to enchant creature cards, but enchant artifact cards on an artifact creature or enchant land cards on a land creature could also be moved to legal targets. [D'Angelo 1995/06/23]
• Only targets the enchantment and not either creature. [Aahz 1995/07/09] This is means it can move enchantments onto a creature which cannot normally be targeted by spells and abilities if the enchantment is legal on that target.
• The enchantment's new target must be legal. [D'Angelo 1999/01/14]
• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - Also see Moving Enchantments, Rule G13.22.

364. Dingus Egg

• If multiple lands are destroyed at once, each land causes the Egg to trigger separately and do 2 points of damage. [D'Angelo 1998/02/03]
• Vintage tournaments (see Rule 801) restricted this card from 1994/01/25 to 1994/05/01.

365. Disrupting Scepter

367. Elkin Bottle

• You may play the card before the beginning of your next upkeep even if the Bottle leaves play. [D'Angelo 2008/07/01]
• This is not considered to be drawing a card. [Aahz 1995/06/12]
• The card is not part of your hand in any way. You cannot be forced to discard it due to a discard from hand effect. When you play it, it is played following rules as if it were being played from your hand (e.g. a sorcery is played as such and is not played as an instant). [Duelist Magazine #11, Page 56]
• You cannot play a card from the Elkin Bottle onto an Ice Cauldron. [Duelist Magazine #11, Page 57] (See Ice Cauldron for more info)
• Word of Command cannot be used to force a player to play a spell off the Bottle. [Aahz 1995/12/18]
• You can get a creature card onto the Bottle when Enduring Renewal is in play. [D'Angelo 1995/12/04]
• To "play a card" is to either announce a spell or to put a land into play using the main phase special action. [D'Angelo 1999/01/18]

369. Fellwar Stone

• The ability can be played if the opponent has no lands that produce mana, but the effect will not be able to generate any mana. [Barclay 2003/10/29]
• The generated mana is of the color the land would produce if tapped for mana after applying any effects (such as Phantasmal Terrain or Reality Twist) and any replacement effects (such as Naked Singularity) when determining the type of mana the land can produce. [WotC Rules Team 1999/03/18]
• It only produces one mana even if the land can produce more than one. [D'Angelo 1995/08/02]
• Can generate any of the colors the land can produce, even if the land is one of the Homelands lands which has a cost in addition to tapping in order to generate that mana. [Duelist Magazine #9, Page 37]
• Works even if the opponent's lands are tapped. It only checks what kinds of mana can be produced, not if the abilities that produce them are usable right now. [D'Angelo 1996/10/31]
• Can generate colorless mana if the opponent has a land which does so. [Duelist Magazine #5, Page 10]
• The generated mana has any restrictions that the land's mana would have had. For example, if they have a Mishra's Workshop you could generate one colorless mana only usable for casting artifacts. [Aahz 1995/08/01]

• You swap control of the permanents during resolution. If either of them is not still in play, then the exchange does not take place. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03] But the enchantments on their permanent are still destroyed. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
• If the targeted permanent is not a legal target on resolution the ability is countered. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]

387. Library of Leng

• The ability replaces the normal discard action with a discard action that puts the card on the library instead of the graveyard. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
• Since the card goes directly to the library, the card is not revealed unless the spell or ability requiring the discard specifically says it is. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
• The discard triggers anything else that triggers on discards, such as Psychic Purge and Megrim. [D'Angelo 1998/07/17]
• The text "you have no maximum hand size" means you don't have to discard down to 7 cards during your cleanup step. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
• If more than one card is discarded due to a single effect, the Library allows you to decide whether or not to use it on each of the cards. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03] You get to decide the order the cards are placed on the library if more than one goes there. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
• You can look at a randomly discarded card before deciding where it goes. [D'Angelo 1997/04/11]
• The ability triggers on any spell or ability that has you discard as part of the effect. It does not matter if you or your opponent control the spell or ability. The discard is forced because it is an effect. [Oracle 1998/07/01]
• The ability does not trigger on any spell or ability that has you discard as part of a cost. For example, Land's Edge. [Oracle 1998/07/01] Also, cards like Forbid, which have you discard as part of the buyback cost. [D'Angelo 1998/06/18]
• If multiple effects modify your hand size limit, apply them in the order they enter play. For example, if both this and Recycle are in play, the most recent in play decides your hand size. [D'Angelo 2001/05/21]

390. Millstone

• Library of Leng has no effect on the Millstone because cards are moved to the graveyard. They are not "discarded". [bethmo 1994/10/01]
• Can be used on a player with less than 2 cards in their library. It will remove 0 or 1 cards if that is all that is available. [Duelist Magazine #6, Page 130]
• It is not a draw effect so it will not cause a player with less than 2 cards in their library to lose. [Duelist Magazine #6, Page 130]
• Since you are putting more than one card in the graveyard at one time, the affected player can choose the order the 2 cards go in. [Aahz 1997/11/17]

391. Nevinyrral's Disk

• Creatures can be regenerated although the enchantments on the creatures will still be destroyed by the Disk. Enchantments with regeneration abilities, such as Regeneration can be used before they leave play. [PPG Page 222]
• The destruction of the disk is not a sacrifice. It is destroyed as part of the resolution if it is still in play. And it can regenerate from this if it was animated. [Duelist Magazine #15, Page 28]
• Like all abilities, once activated the effect occurs even if this card is removed from play. [Peterson 1994/11/01] For example, if you Capsize the Disk it won't be in play when it resolves but its effect will still destroy everything else.
• Guardian Beast can prevent this card from destroying itself. [D'Angelo 1996/11/07]

• The power/toughness change is a triggered ability that occurs only once each upkeep. [D'Angelo 2000/02/25]
• The change affects the initial power/toughness, not the current power/toughness. [D'Angelo 1998/06/05]
• If it begins upkeep with power of 2 or less, the Dwarven Warriors may be tapped to make it unblockable before you change the Shapeshifter to be a 6/1 creature. [Aahz 1994/06/01]

• Can be tapped for zero mana. [D'Angelo 1994/12/19]

• Enters play tapped even if a continuous effect like Blood Moon immediately changes it to something else. [WotC Rules Team 1994/12/15]
