Consecrated Sphinx

Wizards of the Coast 17 Nov 2017

The ability triggers once for each card an opponent draws. You choose whether to draw two cards as each of those abilities resolves.

Wizards of the Coast 17 Nov 2017

If each player controls a Consecrated Sphinx, their abilities will cause each other to trigger until one player chooses not to draw cards.

Wizards of the Coast 17 Nov 2017

You may either draw two cards or not draw at all. You can't choose to draw only one card.

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker

Wizards of the Coast 19 Mar 2021

If the copied creature has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.

Wizards of the Coast 19 Mar 2021

If a copied creature is copying something else, the token you create will use the copiable values of the target creature. In most cases, it will just be a copy of whatever that creature is copying.

Wizards of the Coast 19 Mar 2021

Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any "as [this permanent] enters the battlefield" or "[this permanent] enters the battlefield with" abilities of the copied creature card will also work.

Wizards of the Coast 19 Mar 2021

If a copied creature is a token that isn't a copy of something else, the copy copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that created it.

Wizards of the Coast 19 Mar 2021

The token copies exactly what was printed on the original creature (except that the copy also has haste) and nothing else (unless it's copying a creature that's a token or that's copying something else; see below). It doesn't copy whether the creature is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras and/or Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on. Most notably, if the target creature isn't normally a creature, the copy won't be a creature.

Wizards of the Coast 19 Mar 2021

If another creature becomes a copy of, or enters the battlefield as a copy of, the token, that creature will copy the creature card the token is copying, except it will also have haste. However, you won't sacrifice the new copy at the beginning of the next end step.

Wizards of the Coast 19 Mar 2021

If Kiki-Jiki's ability creates multiple tokens due to a replacement effect (such as the one Doubling Season creates), you'll sacrifice each of them.

Wurmcoil Engine

Wizards of the Coast 1 Jan 2011

It must be clear to all players which token has deathtouch and which token has lifelink.

Wizards of the Coast 1 Jan 2011

The two creature tokens enter at the same time.

Also Printed in Other Drops

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