Classic Sixth Edition

 Classic Sechste Edition  Classique Sixième Edition  Classic Sesta Edizione  Clásica Sexta Edición  Classica Sexta Edição

1. Animate Wall

• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - Also see Defender, Rule 502.41.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Oracle 2005/08/01.
• Note - This card was playable on non-walls from the release of Sixth Edition through Oracle 2007/09/01.

2. Archangel

• Note - The Portal version had no creature type.
• Note - Also see Vigilance, Rule 502.14.

3. Ardent Militia

• Note - The Portal version had no creature type. It was then of creature type "Soldier" until Oracle 2007/05/01 when it became "Human Soldier".
• Note - Also see Vigilance, Rule 502.14.

4. Armageddon

• The destruction can be prevented normally, such as with Consecrate Land, Pyramids, or regeneration if the land is also a creature. [Aahz 1994/06/01]

5. Armored Pegasus

• Note - The Anthologies version of the card has a mana cost of {2}{W} instead of {1}{W}. This is an error.
• Note - The Portal version had no creature type.

6. Castle

• Tapping a creature removes the +2 toughness from the creature and may kill it if it has already taken damage. [D'Angelo 1994/06/01]
• Note - In Fifth Edition (and before) the +0/+2 bonus was not granted if the creature was attacking.

7. Celestial Dawn

• Does not change the color of mana produced by anything. It just allows you to spend it as if it were of a color or as if it were colorless. [Time Spiral FAQ 2006/08/30]
• If a permanent spell is played while Celestial Dawn is in play, then Celestial Dawn leaves play, the permanent's color reverts to the colors in its mana cost. [D'Angelo 2001/05/19]
• The effect to turn all your non-land cards (including artifacts) white is the effect of a static ability that will override the color as set prior to Celestial Dawn's effect. Thus, a Deathlace on casting of a spell or prior to Celestial Dawn entering play will be overridden by Celestial Dawn's effect. [Aahz 1997/03/18]
• A color change effect which enters play after Celestial Dawn can override the color changing effect of Celestial Dawn. [D'Angelo 1997/03/18]
• If an effect like Vampire Bats or Dragon Whelp is used by paying white mana, then the limitations on playing the ability still apply as if you spent the proper color. [D'Angelo 2002/07/21]
• You may use a different color mana than the color required for spells and abilities such as Soul Burn. If you do, if the spell or ability checks the actual color of the mana, it can tell the difference. For example, if you use white mana on Soul Burn, you will not gain any life. The same goes for Vigor Mortis and similar spells. [Time Spiral FAQ 2006/08/30]
• Does not change the type of lands which are not in play. Lands out of play are what they say they are. [Time Spiral FAQ 2006/08/30]
• Any "comes into play" effects of playing a land will not happen since the lands will enter play as Plains. [Time Spiral FAQ 2006/08/30]
• Will not add or remove Snow-Covered nature from a land. [D'Angelo 1998/08/11]
• If you use Magical Hack (or a similar effect) to change the word "plains" to a different land type, your lands are all of that new land type. [Time Spiral FAQ 2006/08/30]
• It no longer changes mana symbols on cards. [Rules Team 2001/05/01]
• It no longer causes your spells and abilities to produce white mana instead of other colors. [Oracle 2006/07/14]

8. Circle of Protection: Black

• Can be used even when there is no damage to prevent. It prevents the next damage (if any) from the source this turn. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]
• A source is a permanent (a land, creature, artifact, or enchantment) or a spell. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]
• Can be used multiple times each turn for damage from the same source or for damage from different sources. [D'Angelo 1997/10/10]

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

• You do not have to find an artifact or enchantment card if you do not want to. See Rule G19.4. [D'Angelo 2001/07/14]
• Vintage tournaments (see Rule 801) have restricted this card since 1999/10/01.

• 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]

• You choose the targets and you choose how to divide up the 5 damage on announcement. [WotC Rules Team 2000/04/26]
• You cannot choose zero targets. You must choose between 1 and 5 targets. [DeLaney 2003/05/19]

37. Reprisal

38. Resistance Fighter

• Note - This card was of type "Soldier" and not "Human Soldier" until Oracle 2006/01/15.

39. 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]

40. Samite Healer

• Note - The Anthologies version of the card has a mana cost of {2}{W} instead of {1}{W}. This is an error.

41. Serenity

• Yes, it does destroy itself. [D'Angelo 1997/06/12]

42. Serra's Blessing

• Note - Also see Vigilance, Rule 502.14.

43. 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.

46. Sunweb

47. Tariff

• The choice of creatures is made on resolution and not on announcement. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]
• You can use mana abilities during the resolution of this spell if the player decides to pay the mana cost. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]
• You choose whether to pay or not on resolution. If not, then you sacrifice the creature. You can choose to not pay if you control no creatures on resolution. [D'Angelo 1999/06/01]
• Note - Also see Converted Mana Cost, Rule G3.29.

48. Tundra Wolves

• Note - Also see First Strike, Rule 502.2.

49. Unyaro Griffin

• Note - The Portal version had no creature type.
• Note - This card was of creature type "Cleric" and not "Human Monk Cleric" until Ninth Edition and Oracle 2005/08/01.

• Note - Also see Defender, Rule 502.41.
• Note - Also see Walls, Rule G23.1.
• Note - The Portal version had no creature type.

52. Warmth

• It triggers on all opposing players. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]

53. Warrior's Honor

• Note - The Anthologies version of the card has a mana cost of {1}{W} instead of {2}{W}. This is an error.

54. Wrath of God

• Creatures with Protection from White cannot avoid this spell's effects. Destruction by means of Wrath of God is not targeted. [bethmo 1994/06/01]

55. Abduction

• Can be played on an already untapped creature. [D'Angelo 1997/12/29]
• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.

57. Ancestral Memories

• If there are less than 7 cards in the library, look at all of them. Put two into your hand, and the rest in the graveyard. [D'Angelo 1998/06/16]
• This is not considered a draw or a discard. [D'Angelo 1998/06/16]

58. Boomerang

59. Browse

• If used with less than 5 cards in your library, you put one in your hand and remove the others from the game. This is not an immediate loss of the game. [bethmo 1996/07/16]

60. Chill

61. Counterspell

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

62. Daring Apprentice

• Note - Prior to Ninth Edition and Oracle 2005/08/01, this card was of creature type Wizard and not Human Wizard.

63. 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.

64. Desertion

• This spell includes a replacement effect. If the target is an artifact or creature, it never goes to the graveyard. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]
• The card enters play as if just cast and you get to make all necessary decisions from scratch. [Duelist Magazine #17, Page 28]
• Any X in the mana cost is zero since it is not actually being cast. [DeLaney 1997/02/02]
• The card is put into play, but any effects that check if the original card was "played from your hand" (such as with Cloud of Faeries) will not trigger or otherwise consider the card to have been played from your hand. The card was put into play by the effect of Desertion instead. [bethmo 1999/11/30]
• If the spell is not countered (because the spell it targets cannot be countered), then this card's ability does not put the card into play. The card continues to resolve as normal. [D'Angelo 2001/04/20]
• Note - In Visions this spell was an Interrupt. All such spells are now of type Instant.

65. Diminishing Returns

• You (and the other players) decide during resolution how many cards to draw. You choose first, then your opponent. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]
• You can choose any number from 0 to 7. You are not forced to draw 7 cards. [Aahz 1996/05/21]

66. Dream Cache

67. Flash

• The mana cost you pay includes colored mana. It effectively means that you cast the other spell as normal but pay 2 less generic mana in doing so. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]
• Any X in the creature's mana cost is zero. [Aahz 1996/11/15]
• If a Clone is played, you pay the Clone's mana cost (reduced by up to {2}), and not the new form's cost. [DeLaney 2000/03/31]
• The creature does enter play first before you make the choice on whether or not to sacrifice it. Any abilities that trigger on it entering play, however, do not get put on the stack until after you sacrifice it or pay the cost. [D'Angelo 2007/05/15]
• Legacy tournaments (see Rule 802) have banned this card since 2007/06/20.
• Vintage tournaments (see Rule 801) have restricted this card since 2008/06/20.

68. Flight

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

69. Fog Elemental

70. Forget

71. Gaseous Form

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

72. Glacial Wall

• Note - Also see Walls, Rule G23.1.

73. Harmattan Efreet

74. Horned Turtle

• Note - The Portal version had no creature type.

75. Insight

76. Inspiration

77. 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 G3.29.

78. Library of Lat-Nam

79. 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".

80. Mana Short

• If you play Mana Short in response to a spell, it will have no effect on that spell since the mana has already been paid. [D'Angelo 1996/11/08]
• Since this is an instant, your opponent may use instants in response to the casting of this spell. Note that such spells and abilities will be resolved before the mana pool is emptied by the Mana Short. [bethmo 1994/06/01] This makes it useless as a countermeasure for spells. To use it effectively, you need to use it during Upkeep and even then it will not prevent the use of instant spells and abilities.
• It even taps lands that do not produce mana. [Oracle 2000/10/24] (REVERSAL)

81. 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.

82. Merfolk of the Pearl Trident

• Note - The Portal version had no creature type.

83. Mystical Tutor

• You do not have to find an instant or sorcery card if you do not want to. See Rule G19.4. [D'Angelo 2001/07/14]
• Vintage tournaments (see Rule 801) have restricted this card since 1999/10/01.
• Legacy tournaments (see Rule 802) banned this card from 1999/10/01 until 2004/09/20.
• Note - Old interrupt and mana source cards have errata to be of type instant now. Refer to specific cards for information.

84. 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 G2.3.
• 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.

85. Phantom Warrior

• Note - The Portal version had no creature type. Then it was of creature type "Illusion" until Oracle 2007/05/01 when it became "Illusion Warrior"

86. Polymorph

• If there are no creatures in the player's library, then the target creature is still destroyed, you see all the cards in that player's library, and then they shuffle and continue play. [Duelist Magazine #16, Page 30]

87. 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.

88. Prodigal Sorcerer

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

89. Prosperity

• If both players run out of cards during this effect, the game is a draw. [D'Angelo 1999/08/27]
• Both players draw cards at the same time. [D'Angelo 1999/08/31]
• If a replacement effect is being applied to cards, treat it as if each player draws one card, then each player draws one card, and so on until all the require drawing is done. [Jackson 2000/04/19]
• Note - Also see X Costs, Rule G24.1.

90. Psychic Transfer

• A player with less than 0 life is considered to have 0 life for the check in difference of life and for the effective life total being swapped. [Duelist Magazine #16, Page 24]

91. 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.

92. 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.

• Each activation is considered a new damage effect. An activation can only be 1 point of damage. [Duelist Magazine #12, Page 26]
