Legends

 Leggende

1. Abomination

• The color of the blocking/blocked creature is checked only at declaration of the block. If the creature is indeed green or white at that time, it will be destroyed at the end of the combat even if it changes color before the combat ends. [WotC Rules Team 1994/07/27]
• Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have banned this card since 1999/10/01.
• Note - This card was creature type "Abomination" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Horror".

2. All Hallow's Eve

• 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.
• The creatures are put into play by their respective players, but they enter play simultaneously. For purposes of ordering any effects of the creatures, the current player (not the controller of this card) decides the ordering regardless of which player is putting the creatures into play. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
• Two Legends of the same names that enter play are considered to enter play at the same time and both are destroyed. See Rule G12.9. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
• Since you can respond to triggered abilities, it is legal to sacrifice creatures using some spell or ability prior to resolving the ability that removes the final counter from All Hallow's Eve. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
• Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have always banned this card.
• Note - Also see Comes Into Play Abilities, Rule 410.10a.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchantment" and not "Sorcery" from 2001/08/24 until 2007/02/01.

3. Blight

• Note - In Fifth Edition (and before) the land was destroyed at end of turn. It is now destroyed as a triggered ability.
• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Land" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

4. Carrion Ants

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

5. Chains of Mephistopheles

• If you cast a spell to draw extra cards (such as Ancestral Recall or Wheel of Fortune) at some time outside the draw step, this affects all the cards drawn. During your draw step, the first card drawn is not affected. [bethmo 1994/06/15]
• Only affects the drawing of cards. It does not affect spells like Demonic Tutor, Millstone, or Petra Sphinx which affect the library but do not say "draw" a card. [bethmo 1994/06/22]
• If X cards are drawn as the resolution of a single spell/ability, then the game treats this as X separate "draw one card" actions. So for each card that would be drawn, apply the effect. [D'Angelo 2000/07/06]
• The effect is cumulative. If you have two of these out, each of them will modify on each draw (after the first one if during the draw step), and will cause the player to discard or to "mill" a card from their library. As they resolve in order, the player must discard if possible. Once the player fails to discard and instead "mills" a card, all further effects of additional Chains of Mephistopheles will not do anything. This is because the "mill" also replaces the draw effect and the player is no longer drawing a card. [WotC Rules Team 1996/12/03] You handle them in order. Each one makes you discard first and then continue or else mill a card and lose the draw.
• This is a replacement effect (see Rule 419). [D'Angelo 1999/02/03]
• Cards which are drawn as a cost are affected by this card because replacement effects can alter the payment of costs (see Rule 419). [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]
• Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have always banned this card.

6. Cosmic Horror

• Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have banned this card since 1999/10/01.
• Note - Also see First Strike, Rule 502.2.

7. Cyclopean Mummy

• The Mummy does go to the graveyard and trigger abilities (such as Soul Net) which watch for something going to the graveyard. It then leaves the game as a triggered ability (see Rule 404). [bethmo 1994/06/22]
• It does not leave the game if it goes to the graveyard from someplace other than "in play". This includes discarding from your hand or if the spell is countered. [bethmo 1994/06/27]
• Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have banned this card since 1999/10/01.
• Note - This card was creature type "Mummy" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Zombie".

• Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have always banned this card.
• Note - This card was creature type "Ghost" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Spirit".

13. Giant Slug

• 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]
• If the Slug changes controllers after the mana is spent, the player who activates this ability selects a landwalk during their next upkeep even if they don't control it at the time. [Aahz 1996/06/13]
• Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have banned this card since 1999/10/01.
• Note - Also see Landwalk, Rule 502.6.

14. Glyph of Doom

21. Imprison

• Both abilities are triggered abilities (see Rule 404). The first one triggers on the announcing of a creature ability, and the second triggers on declaration of attacking or blocking. [D'Angelo 1999/02/11]
• Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have always banned this card.
• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

26. Mold Demon

• The sacrifice is done as a triggered ability just after it enters play. [D'Angelo 1995/10/27]
• You must deal with the triggered ability no matter how the creature is brought into play. This includes Clone or Animate Dead. [bethmo 1994/06/25]
• A creature phasing in does not cause "comes into play" effects to happen again so it will not require a sacrifice in those cases. [Aahz 1995/07/05]
• Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have always banned this card.
• Note - Also see Comes Into Play Abilities, Rule 410.10a.
• Note - This card was creature type "Mold-Demon" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Fungus Demon".

27. Nether Void

• This is not an additional play cost, it is a triggered ability (see Rule 404). [Duelist Magazine #9, Page 60]
• The countering effect does not take place until after Nether Void resolves and is in play. It does not affect its own casting or any casting in the same spell stack. [D'Angelo 1995/12/09]
• Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have always banned this card.
• Note - Also see Enchant World, Rule G23.5.

32. Syphon Soul

• Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) banned this card until 1999/06/01 when it was reprinted in Sixth Edition.

33. 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]
• You choose the new creature and put it on that creature all during the resolution of the triggered ability that has you put it back into play. [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.

34. The Abyss

• This is a targeted ability. The Abyss targets one creature each upkeep. It cannot target creatures which are untargetable, such as those with Protection from Black. [Aahz 1994/07/13]
• If the target becomes invalid after being chosen but before resolution, you do not have to choose another target. [Duelist Magazine #16, Page 25]
• The controller of The Abyss controls the ability, but the current player chooses what gets destroyed. [Barclay 2000/12/31]
• Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have always banned this card.
• Note - Also see Enchant World, Rule G23.5.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant World" until Oracle 2005/08/01.

35. 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".

36. Touch of Darkness

• You can choose to target zero creatures. [Oracle 1998/07/01]
• Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have always banned this card.

37. 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.

38. Underworld Dreams

• Only affects the drawing of cards. It does not affect spells like Demonic Tutor, Millstone, or Petra Sphinx which affect the library but do not say "draw" a card. [bethmo 1994/06/22]
• Affects all draws even if you have to put the cards back afterwards. This ruling applies to things like Sylvan Library and Brainstorm. [D'Angelo 1995/07/11]
• In a multi-player game, it affects all opponents. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
• If multiple cards are drawn at once, this card triggers once for each card drawn. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
• Vintage tournaments (see Rule 801) restricted this card from 1994/08/01 until 1999/10/01.

• Note - Also see Protection, Rule 502.7.

42. 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.

43. Wall of Tombstones

• This sets the current power/toughness and not the initial value, so it overrides counters and any older effects. [D'Angelo 1999/02/07]
• A "creature card" is a Creature card or Artifact Creature card. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03] Older cards of type Summon also count.

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

48. Boomerang

49. Brine Hag

• This effect sets the current power/toughness of the creature, so it overrides any effects that resolved prior to this one, and it overrides all counters. [D'Angelo 1999/02/09]

• 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]

57. 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. 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.
• Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have banned this card since 1999/10/01.

62. Invoke Prejudice

• If you have no creatures in play then by definition your opponent's summon spell cannot be of the same color as a creature you have in play. In this case they will always have to pay the extra mana. [bethmo 1994/06/29]
• It affects Creature spells, but not Artifact Creature spells. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
• In a multi-player game, it affects all opposing players. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
• This ability triggers when the spell is announced. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]

• Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have always banned this card.

63. 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.

64. Land Equilibrium

• You sacrifice a land after you put one into play and not before. [D'Angelo 1995/01/18]

• Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have always banned this card.
• Note - Also see Landwalk, Rule 502.6.

• Not triggered by payment of costs like Land's Edge. [D'Angelo 1995/10/11]
• Is triggered even if the discard goes to the top of your library because of the Library of Leng. [WotC Rules Team 1995/05/10]
• It is not triggered if Psychic Purge is countered and thereby sent to the graveyard. [Duelist Magazine #2, Page 9] This is not a discard. [Duelist Magazine #4, Page 64]
• Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have always banned this card.

69. Puppet Master

• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.

• 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.

• Can bring back the same creature because you select the creature after sending the current one to the graveyard. [bethmo 1994/06/29]
• This sets up a triggered ability (see Rule 404). When the creature goes to the graveyard, the ability will trigger and normal triggered ability resolution takes place. [Aahz 1996/06/14] If cast on a Firestorm Phoenix, the order that the two triggered abilities resolves in decides if you can choose the Phoenix to be returned by Reincarnation or if it will already be in your hand and cannot be chosen. [Aahz 1996/06/14]

121. 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]
