Final Fortune

Wizards of the Coast 8 Dec 2022

If multiple "extra turn" effects resolve in the same turn, take them in the reverse of the order that the effects resolved. In other words, the most recently created extra turn is taken first.

Wizards of the Coast 4 Oct 2004

If you end up skipping the extra turn that is gained, you do not lose the game.

Roiling Vortex

Wizards of the Coast 25 Sep 2020

In a Two-Headed Giant game, Roiling Vortex’s first ability triggers twice during each team’s upkeep. Each instance deals 1 damage to one of the players on that team.

Wizards of the Coast 25 Sep 2020

An ability that triggers when a player casts a spell resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.

Wizards of the Coast 25 Sep 2020

Activating Roiling Vortex’s last ability won’t undo any life gained before it resolved.

Wheel of Misfortune

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

For each player to secretly choose a number, that player should write down their chosen number without showing it to anyone else. Each player then keeps their number secret until all players simultaneously reveal their numbers.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

The number of players choosing the highest number doesn't change how much damage is dealt. For example, if the four players in your game reveal 4, 7, 7, and 7, Wheel of Misfortune will deal 7 damage to each of the last three players and those three players will discard their hand and draw seven cards.

Also Printed in Other Drops

Some of these cards came in other Secret Lair drops too, each with its own art.
