8 rulings for 4 cards
Nekusar, the Mindrazer
If a spell or ability causes you to put cards into your hand without specifically using the word "draw," it doesn't count as drawing cards and it doesn't cause Nekusar's second ability to trigger.
Syr Konrad, the Grim
In a Two-Headed Giant game, Syr Konrad's first ability causes it to deal 1 damage twice.
If one or more creatures die at the same time as Syr Konrad, its first ability triggers for each of those creatures.
Underworld Dreams
If a spell or ability causes you to put cards into your hand without specifically using the word “draw,” it’s not a card drawn.
If multiple cards are drawn at once, this card triggers once for each card drawn.
In a multi-player game, it affects all opponents.
Wheel of Misfortune
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.
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.
