Unglued

1. Ashnod's Coupon

• The drink must be a legal target for the player. [Barclay 1998/08/13] All local, state, federal, and national laws apply.
• You can target somebody else's drink, but you don't find out what the costs are until you go to pay for it. Better hope they're not too attached to it. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• You cannot force someone get a drink which cannot be reasonably acquired. For example, you cannot make them go to Hawaii for a special drink that is only available there. [QAS 1998/09/09] But they might be willing to go if you pay for the trip.
• You cannot force someone to break laws, such as asking a minor to get an alcoholic drink. [QAS 1998/09/09] This also includes bringing a drink into a location that does not allow drinks, or any other such rule or law breaking. [D'Angelo 1999/02/21]
• You cannot force someone to do something unsafe. [D'Angelo 1999/02/21]
• The effect does not resolve until the drink is returned. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• Since the errata is printed on the card, R&D's Secret Lair does not bypass the errata. [D'Angelo 2006/09/09]
• All tournament formats have banned cards from Unglued.
• Note - Also see Unglued rulings, Rule 507.

2. B.F.M. (Big Furry Monster)

• This creature is actually split across two cards. The above text and information is what is shown when you put both parts together. Each of the two halves is a rare card. [D'Angelo 1998/09/01]
• "Both cards" means one of each half, not two of the same half. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• While the BFM is in play, it is treated as one creature, not two. While it's not in play, each half is treated as a separate creature card. [bethmo 1998/08/17] So while it's in play a Clone can copy the whole creature. [bethmo 1998/11/24]
• You can put the BFM into play using Living Death, Timmy, Power Gamer, or any other effect that puts a creature into play or multiple creature cards into play at once (if both halves are present). You cannot put it into play with Animate Dead, Spatula of the Ages, or any other effect which only puts one creature card into play. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• Can make "The-Biggest,-Baddest,-Nastiest,-Scariest-Creature-You'll-Ever-See" tokens with Volrath's Laboratory. They will only be 2/2. Nobody said that Volrath was perfect. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• This thing is big, making me the second largest furry creature in existence. [Garfield 1998/08/23]
• If it was allowed in tournaments, you would be allowed 4 of each half in a legal deck. [bethmo 1998/09/09]
• The half without a mana cost printed on it is considered to have a mana cost of the whole amount if some effect asks for that card's mana cost. [bethmo 1999/01/11] But to play the pair you only pay the mana cost once.
• All tournament formats have banned cards from Unglued.
• Note - Also see Unglued rulings, Rule 507.

3. B.F.M. (Big Furry Monster)

• This creature is actually split across two cards. The above text and information is what is shown when you put both parts together. Each of the two halves is a rare card. [D'Angelo 1998/09/01]

• All tournament formats have banned cards from Unglued.
• Note - Also see Unglued rulings, Rule 507.

4. Blacker Lotus

• You must tear it into more than one piece. That's why it says "pieces". [QAS 1998/09/09]
• As official errata, clean up after yourself. [Barclay 1998/08/13] Littering is a crime in many areas. Recycling is recommended.
• If the card is in a sleeve, remove it before ripping it up. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• Optional Rule: If the card is in a sleeve, tear up the sleeve as well. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• You may proxy a Blacker Lotus, by taking a normal Black Lotus, and using a Black Magic Marker to color the front of the card in completely black. No other proxies are acceptable. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• The ability is played as a mana ability, so it cannot be countered. [D'Angelo 2000/03/09]
• If your opponent takes control of this card, they can use the ability to rip it up. [QAS 1998/09/09] Note that you can concede the game at faster-than-mana ability-speed to prevent them from doing so.
• Ripping up the card does not make your deck illegal. See Rule 507.Ruling.8. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• You must pick a valid color (Black, Blue, Green, Red or White) and cannot pick "colorless". [D'Angelo 1998/09/21]
• Optional Rule: You can pick any color you want, such as Teal. [TomHa 1998/09/15]
• All tournament formats have banned cards from Unglued.
• Note - Also see Unglued rulings, Rule 507.

5. Bronze Calendar

• You may use sign language, unless you normally speak in sign language. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• You can have someone else speak for you. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• The Calendar will reduce the total cost of the spell, so it can pay for part of the Gloom cost for a white spell. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• If you have two Calendars in play, you can use just one different voice to satisfy both of them. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• You can switch voices as often as you want. You just cannot use your normal voice. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• Your normal voice is determined at the time as casting as the voice you used most often during the past 24 hours. [TomHa 1998/09/15]
• Volume alone does not make a voice "different". [D'Angelo 1999/02/21]
• All tournament formats have banned cards from Unglued.
• Note - Also see Unglued rulings, Rule 507.

6. Bureaucracy

• This card works like this... At the beginning of the next player's upkeep, he or she will pick a simple verbal or physical action such as clapping his or her hands. At the beginning of his or her upkeep, the next player (you in a two-player game) must clap his or her hands and then add another action--for example, saying "Yabba Dabba Doo." At the beginning of his or her upkeep, the next player claps his or her hands, says "Yabba Dabba Doo," and then adds a new action. This little game continues until someone messes up the order, at which point the controller of Bureaucracy sacrifices the card and the player who made the mistake loses all the cards in his or her hand. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• A player must clearly identify to all players what action he or she is adding. Show it and describe it if necessary. Don't make the player guess. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• The participant is the PLAYER, not the trading card game. [DeLaney 1998/08/12]
• Each other player in the game must assent that they are capable of performing the action to be added to the ACTION QUEUE at the time it is added, or the PLAYER must choose a different action. [DeLaney 1998/08/12]
• Duplicate actions are legal. [DeLaney 1998/08/12]
• You can only add an action to the end of the ACTION QUEUE, not the beginning. [D'Angelo 1998/09/07] Even though some might argue that the beginning is just the "other end". You can optionally play that way.
• If there is more than one Bureaucracy in play, you choose which order to deal with them, then deal with each of their ACTION QUEUEs separately. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• You can pick actions which make it hard for the opponent to meet the requirements of another card. Such as clapping hands when the opponent is enchanted with Volrath's Motion Sensor. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• The action needs to be simple, so saying a Censorship word twenty times is not acceptable. [QAS 1998/09/09] Once is definitely okay, twice is probably okay, and three or more times isn't very simple. [D'Angelo 1998/09/21]
• A judge can consider "unsportsmanlike" actions illegal. This includes any action which invades a person's privacy without their permission, such as tossing another player's deck into the air, touching the person in any way, or so on. [D'Angelo 1999/02/21]
• Any action which would break a law or local rule is not a valid choice. [D'Angelo 1999/02/21] For example, you cannot ask someone to yell "Fire" in a crowded room.
• Yelling "judge" can be considered an illegal action by the judges if it annoys them. [D'Angelo 1999/02/21]
• All tournament formats have banned cards from Unglued.
• Note - Also see Unglued rulings, Rule 507.

7. Burning Cinder Fury of Crimson Chaos Fire

• Lands that count as creatures are not considered to be "non-land cards". [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• If you tap another player's card, you must give control of that card (at end of turn) to one of your opponents. [QAS 1998/09/09] For example, in a multiplayer game, Player A could tap Player B's permanent with Icy Manipulator and give the player B's card to Player C at end of turn.
• This card is not considered tapped. Card orientation is determined by the orientation of the text, artwork, etc., not by the length of the card sides. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• Does not affect tokens. [D'Angelo 1998/09/21]
• All tournament formats have banned cards from Unglued.
• Note - Also see Unglued rulings, Rule 507.

8. Cardboard Carapace

• Does not count cards which were removed from the game, are in ante, are phased out, or are in limbo. Only counts ones which were never in this game. [QAS 1998/09/09] Sideboard is also in the game. [D'Angelo 1998/09/21]
• You only have to have possession of the cards. You don't actually have to own them (in the property sense). [QAS 1998/09/09]
• You do have to show the cards to your opponent and let them count them. [TomHa 1998/09/15]
• Optional Rule: If Cardboard Carapace is enchanting a Blue creature, it gets all wet and soggy, and provides no bonuses. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• All tournament formats have banned cards from Unglued.
• Note - Also see Unglued rulings, Rule 507.
• This card should be of type "Enchantment - Aura" and not "Enchant Creature", and should be played as such. [D'Angelo 2006/02/01]

9. Censorship

• You're only allowed one word. Make it a good one. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• Any spoken word is acceptable. It does not have to appear in the dictionary. For example, "um" can be chosen. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• The censored word is based upon speech, so homophones will trigger it. For example, "I" and "eye" are the same word for Censorship. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• Portions of words don't count. For example, saying "sidewalk" when the censored word is "side" won't trigger it. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• It affects all players, including you. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• Combines well with Bureaucracy, Sorry, and Ow. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• We do know who painted the picture on Censorship. We just can't tell you. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• This card has no artist name, and that is the correct answer for Squirrel Farm. [QAS 1998/09/09] The actual artist is Matt Wilson, for those that care. [DeLaney 1998/10/20]
• Choosing the word "Wow" when playing against Jeff Donais is legal, but unfair on Jeff. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• All tournament formats have banned cards from Unglued.
• Note - Also see Unglued rulings, Rule 507.

10. Chaos Confetti

• The word "distance" means "horizontal", not "vertical". [QAS 1998/09/09]
• All the pieces must be tossed at once. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• Proper disposal of the pieces is the responsibility of the controller of the ability. [D'Angelo 1998/08/23] Breaking this rule is subject to all local littering laws.
• You may proxy this card, but the card you use must be more rare than Chaos Confetti currently is. [Barclay 1998/08/13] An uncommon or rarer card is required. Use of a Chaos Orb should inspire fear in your opponents.
• If you have a Freyalise's Winds, Hurricane, Tropical Storm, Katabatic Winds, or Cyclone card in your hand, you may reveal that card to all opponents to enable you to blow on the pieces whilst they are in flight, to aid their flight. No other interference is allowed. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• Five feet is one thousand, five hundred and twenty four millimeters. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• Tearing it into pieces is part of the effect, not the cost. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• It will not destroy tokens, and it will only destroy cards it actually touches. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• Players may rearrange their cards in the playing area any time before Chaos Confetti is activated. Once it is activated, only changes made by the rules (such as sacrifices and tapping cards) are legal until it is done resolving. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• The five feet is measured from the center of the playing area, so don't move cards too far. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• Counters on a card are not considered part of that card and can block the confetti from touching your card. But, at least the title on a card must be visible at all times. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• You can rip the card into as many pieces as you want. If you take too long, you can be called for stalling or get hassled by your friends. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• All tournament formats have banned cards from Unglued.
• Note - Also see Unglued rulings, Rule 507.

11. Charm School

• The card must be kept horizontal, not vertical on your head. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• No external equipment, such as a hat or hairpins, can be used to secure the card to your head. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• Afro haircuts and Brylcreem can aid the use of this card, but you can't do anything extra to your head in order to keep the card there. You certainly can't hold the card. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• If you Steal Enchantment this card, take it off its old controller's head, and put it onto yours. [Barclay 1998/08/13] Optional Rule: The Steal Enchantment should also be balanced on your head at this time. [D'Angelo 1998/09/21]
• Enchant Player cards are played in the territory of the player they enchant. [D'Angelo 1998/09/21]
• Other players cannot use any physical action to try to knock the card off your head. They can try to make you laugh or something, but cannot blow on the card or do other similar actions. [D'Angelo 1998/11/09]
• All tournament formats have banned cards from Unglued.
• Note - Also see Unglued rulings, Rule 507.
• This card should be of type "Enchantment - Aura" and not "Enchant Player", and should be played as such. [D'Angelo 2006/02/01]

12. Checks and Balances

• It only checks the number of players when played. Once in play it will stay even if the number of players drops to less than 3. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• You can't agree to something that you can't do, so if you have no cards in hand, you can't agree to choose and discard a card. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• The agreements and choices are all made on resolution. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• It affects all spells played, even yours. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• All tournament formats have banned cards from Unglued.
• Note - Also see Unglued rulings, Rule 507.

13. Chicken à la King

14. Chicken Egg

• The token is of creature type Giant and creature type Chicken. [D'Angelo 2000/03/09]
• The Giant Chicken comes into play before any triggered abilities on the die roll are played. So a roll of 6 will put the Giant Chicken into play before Chicken a la King gives out +1/+1 chicken feed. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• Giant Chickens don't fly. [QAS 1997/09/09]
• Well, at least this solves the age-old question... [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• All tournament formats have banned cards from Unglued.
• Note - Also see Token Creatures, Rule 216.
• Note - Also see Unglued rulings, Rule 507.

15. Clam Session

• If you're tone deaf (like I am), you should suffer a serious penalty (agreed among your opponents) for playing with Clam Session. Unless you sing heavy metal songs, where it doesn't matter too much anyway. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• If the six words you sing contain the chosen word more than once, you sacrifice the Session. "one" means "exactly one". [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• "Happy Birthday to Dan" is considered the same song as "Happy Birthday to Dave". [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• You must say your chosen word for everyone. [bethmo 1998/08/17]
• The six words must be consecutive words from the song. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• The six words don't have to be different. [QAS 1998/09/09] See the flavor text.
• If you have more than one Clam Session in play, you can use the same song for each of them. [QAS 1998/09/09] But you're a wimp if you do.
• All tournament formats have banned cards from Unglued.
• Note - Also see Unglued rulings, Rule 507.

16. Clambassadors

• They keep control of it until the end of the game (unless something else happens to it). [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• All tournament formats have banned cards from Unglued.
• Note - Also see Unglued rulings, Rule 507.

17. Clam-I-Am

• Use the ability right after the original roll, before any effects of that roll. You can't use it later on. The new roll is now used in its place. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• This ability is played in the Betting Window. [Barclay 1998/08/13] Any "betting window" ability may be played during the middle of the resolution of another spell or ability.
• All tournament formats have banned cards from Unglued.
• Note - Also see Unglued rulings, Rule 507.

18. Clay Pigeon

• The ability can be used while it is tapped. [D'Angelo 1998/09/07]
• "Catch" means the same thing that it does in Baseball and Cricket - you have to catch it before it hits the ground/table/etc. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• Deflections off opponents or anything other than your one hand is not legal. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• You must stay seated while throwing and catching. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• From the time that the Pigeon is thrown to the time its ability resolves, it is considered to be in the "In the Air" zone, so you can't use its ability again until it resolves. This means that if you fail to catch it, it will be sacrificed before you can use its ability again. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• Two feet is 61 cm. [TomHa 1998/09/15]
• All tournament formats have banned cards from Unglued.
• Note - Also see Unglued rulings, Rule 507.

19. Common Courtesy

• This affects all spells, even yours. So you need to ask yourself permission. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• If the player doesn't ask permission, then the spell is countered automatically. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• If there's more than one in play, you need to ask each player who controls one. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• All tournament formats have banned cards from Unglued.
• Note - Also see Unglued rulings, Rule 507.

20. Deadhead

• To "lose contact" means to not be in direct physical contact with any of the cards in your hand. [QAS 1998/09/09] Being in contact with at least one card from your hand (if your hand has any cards) means you are still in contact.
• If you've got no cards in your hand, you can't lose contact with it. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• Deadhead says nothing about which part of your opponent must touch his hand of cards - any part will do. Clothes (including gloves) do not count as part of your opponent. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• All tournament formats have banned cards from Unglued.
• Note - Also see Unglued rulings, Rule 507.

21. Denied!

• Note - Also see Unglued rulings, Rule 507.
• Note - This card was of type Interrupt and is now of type Instant. [D'Angelo 2000/03/09]

22. Double Cross

• If the next game with the player isn't a game of Magic, you still follow the instructions if you can. So, if you're playing Poker next, this could turn out to be very good for you. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• "Another player" means "a player that isn't you". One of your teammates is a legal target. A player in a different game is not a legal target. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
• If played in a tournament, affects the next game in the current match only. If played outside a tournament, affects the next non-tournament game. [QAS 1998/09/09]
• The term "beginning of the next game" means it triggers, after both players draw their hands (and do any mulligans), and right before starting the first player's turn, but the trigger isn't placed on the stack until the start of the first player's upkeep. [D'Angelo 2000/03/09]
