10 rulings for 3 cards
Akroma, Angel of Fury
In a Commander game where Akroma is your commander, you may cast it face down from the command zone by paying {3} plus {2} for each time it has been cast from your command zone. The cost to turn it face up is unaffected. While face down, the combat damage it deals is still counted as damage dealt by your commander.
A spell or ability that counters spells can still target Akroma. When that spell or ability resolves, Akroma won't be countered, but any additional effects of the countering spell or ability will still happen.
If Akroma, Angel of Fury is cast face down, it can be countered.
Grand Abolisher
Grand Abolisher doesn't affect triggered abilities or static abilities.
Grand Abolisher doesn't stop your opponents from activating abilities of artifact, creature, or entorchantment cards in zones other than the battlefield (like cycling abilities, for example).
Umezawa's Jitte
If the Jitte is moved after the "+2/+2" mode is announced but before it resolves, the bonus is given to the creature that is equipped when the ability resolves.
If the Jitte leaves the battlefield after the "+2/+2" mode is announced but before it resolves, the bonus is given to the creature that was most recently equipped once the ability resolves.
The ability can be used any time Umezawa's Jitte's controller has priority — only the "target creature" choice has additional requirements. Choosing the "Equipped creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn" mode does nothing if the Jitte isn't equipped to a creature when the ability resolves.
Umezawa's Jitte's activated ability generates a modal choice. The choice is made when the ability is activated.
If the "target creature gets -1/-1 until end of turn" mode is chosen, the target creature must also be announced.
Also Printed in Other Drops
Some of these cards came in other Secret Lair drops too, each with its own art.
