• When the ability resolves, it creates another ability that triggers at the beginning of your next upkeep. When that ability resolves, you choose a land type. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]

• Note - This card was of creature type "Night Stalker" and is now of type "Nightstalker". [Oracle 1999/09/03]

9. Takklemaggot

• The controller of the creature which is destroyed gets to place Takklemaggot on a creature of their choice (controlled by any player, not just one of their own creatures). If there are no creatures to put it on, then Takklemaggot becomes a simple enchantment. [D'Angelo 1994/08/01]
• If the creature leaves play without going to the graveyard (via Unsummon or something like that), Takklemaggot is simply destroyed. [bethmo 1994/08/23]
• Takklemaggot is controlled initially by the player that played it, but each time it goes to the graveyard it returns and is controlled by the player whose creature it was on when it went to the graveyard. [DeLaney 2000/05/01]

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

10. The Fallen

• Will not damage the controller, only opponents of the controller. So, if you managed to take control of someone else's The Fallen after being damaged by it, you will not be damaged. [Aahz 1995/02/08]
• The effect is not cumulative. If a player is hit more than once, they still only take one damage from The Fallen each turn. [D'Angelo 1995/07/01]
• It stops damaging players and forgets which players it damaged when it leaves play. [Duelist Magazine #9, Page 35]
• If phased out it will not forget which players it damaged. [Duelist Magazine #11, Page 57]
• Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have banned this card since 1999/10/01.
• Note - This card was of creature type "Fallen" until Oracle 2007/09/01 when it became "Zombie".

11. 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".

12. Transmutation

• As per Rule 418.5a, power and toughness switching is applied after any effects that modify power/toughness. This means that even if new spells and abilities are played to modify power/toughness, they are applied before the switch. [D'Angelo 2005/12/01]
• This can effectively kill a creature with a power of zero, but there is still a chance to increase the power of the creature using instants before this takes effect. [bethmo 1994/06/14]
• Any additional words on cards which modify the power/toughness are also reversed. For example, Blood Lust acts as if it read "Target creature gets -4/+4 until end of turn. If this reduces that creature's power to less than 1, the creature's power is 1." [WotC Rules Team 1997/07/03]
• Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have banned this card since 1999/10/01.

13. Wall of Shadows

• Can be destroyed by a Battering Ram because combat effects are not targeted. [WotC Rules Team 1994/02/07]
• It is not affected by the Golgothian Sylex. [D'Angelo 1995/08/16]
• Can be targeted by Chaos Charm even if used in the mode that targets a wall, because Chaos Charm is not a "spell that can target only walls". [bethmo 1999/02/11]
• Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have banned this card since 1999/10/01.
• Note - Also see Defender, Rule 502.41.
• Note - Also see Walls, Rule G23.1.
• Note - The Chronicles version should have the Legends symbol and not the Antiquities symbol on it. This is errata.

14. Yawgmoth Demon

• The sacrificing of an artifact is not mandatory. You can choose not to sacrifice an artifact but will pay the consequences. [Aahz 1994/11/02]
• Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) banned this card from 1999/10/01 to 2005/08/01.
• Note - Also see First Strike, Rule 502.2.

15. Azure Drake

16. Boomerang

17. 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.

18. Dandân

19. Enchantment Alteration

• Only targets the enchantment and not either of the things the enchantment may be on. [Aahz 1995/07/09]
• You can move a Blue Ward since it offers protection to the creature and not to itself. [bethmo 1994/09/14]
• The choice of where to move the enchantment is made on resolution. You must move the enchantment to another location if possible. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]

21. Flash Flood

• The decision to destroy a permanent or unsummon a Mountain is a decision made on announcement before a target of the proper type is selected.

• Enchantments on creatures are put into the graveyard and counters on creatures are removed when the creatures are sent to the Haven. [WotC Rules Team 1994/09/30]
• If the Haven is destroyed, any creatures it pulled out of the game are simply lost. [Duelist Magazine #3, Page 7]
• All cards in the Haven stay there even if they cease to be creatures. When the Haven is sacrificed, the cards come back into play whether or not they are creatures. [Duelist Magazine #5, Page 123]
• Token creatures cease to exist when they leave play, so this effect just removes them from the game with no chance to bring them back like you can with cards. [Duelist Magazine #5, Page 123] See Rule 216.3
• If changed to another land type using a spell such as Phantasmal Terrain, creatures are not lost but cannot be released until the land is reverted to normal. [Duelist Magazine #3, Page 7]
• Creatures are placed in the "removed from game" zone, so the Ring of Ma'ruf can be used on them. [D'Angelo 1996/11/11]
