107 rulings for 27 cards

Anger

Wizards of the Coast 4 Oct 2004

The timestamp for the "in your graveyard" ability is set at the time that this card goes to your graveyard, regardless of whether you control a Mountain at that time.

Arcane Signet

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

If your commander is a card that has no colors in its color identity, Arcane Signet's ability produces no mana. It doesn't produce {C}.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

If you have two commanders, the ability adds one mana of any color in their combined color identities.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

If you don't have a commander, Arcane Signet's ability produces no mana.

Caged Sun

Wizards of the Coast 10 Jun 2022

An ability that triggers from the resolution of an activated mana ability is also a mana ability. This means that if the land's ability that caused you to add mana was an activated mana ability, Caged Sun's triggered ability won't use the stack and can't be responded to.

Command Beacon

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

If you have two commanders with the partner ability in the command zone, Command Beacon's effect puts one of your choice into your hand, not both.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

If your commander isn't in the command zone (or you don't have a commander) as the last ability resolves, nothing happens.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

If you cast a commander from your hand, the commander tax doesn't apply. Additionally, that casting won't add to commander tax if you later cast the commander from the command zone.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Nov 2016

If you have two commanders with the partner ability in the command zone, Command Beacon's effect puts one of your choice into your hand, not both.

Wizards of the Coast 4 Nov 2015

If your commander isn't in the command zone (or you're not playing Commander) as the last ability resolves, nothing happens.

Wizards of the Coast 4 Nov 2015

If you cast a commander from your hand, the additional cost based on the number of times you've cast it from your command zone (sometimes referred to as the "commander tax") doesn't apply. Additionally, that casting won't add to the tax if you later cast the commander from the command zone.

Council's Judgment

Wizards of the Coast 7 Aug 2020

In the unusual case that no permanents have any votes, nothing is exiled.

Wizards of the Coast 7 Aug 2020

Each player must vote for one of the candidate permanents. They can't abstain.

Wizards of the Coast 7 Aug 2020

None of the candidate permanents are targeted. Players may vote for a permanent with protection from white, for example.

Wizards of the Coast 7 Aug 2020

Because the votes are cast in turn order, each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.

Wizards of the Coast 7 Aug 2020

No player votes until the spell or ability resolves. Any responses to that spell or ability must be made without knowing the outcome of the vote.

Wizards of the Coast 7 Aug 2020

Players can't do anything after they finishing voting but before the "winning" permanent or permanents are exiled.

Elixir of Immortality

Wizards of the Coast 22 Sep 2011

If you gain control of another player’s Elixir of Immortality and activate it, the Elixir of Immortality will be shuffled into its owner’s library and the cards in your graveyard will be shuffled into your library. You are considered to have shuffled each affected library (even if, as a shortcut, each player physically shuffles their own library).

Wizards of the Coast 22 Sep 2011

If Elixir of Immortality is in your graveyard at the time the ability resolves, you’ll still wind up shuffling it into your library because you shuffle your entire graveyard into your library. If it’s anywhere else by that time, including in another player’s graveyard, it remains where it is and you shuffle just your graveyard into your library.

Wizards of the Coast 22 Sep 2011

As the ability resolves, you’ll shuffle Elixir of Immortality into its owner’s library directly from the battlefield, if it’s still there.

Wizards of the Coast 15 Aug 2010

Paying the activation cost of Elixir of Immortality’s ability doesn’t cause it to leave the battlefield. If you have a way to untap it, you can activate the ability multiple times in response to itself.

Fabled Passage

Wizards of the Coast 23 Jun 2020

If you control four or more lands, the basic land doesn't enter untapped; it enters tapped and then you untap it.

Wizards of the Coast 23 Jun 2020

The land that you put onto the battlefield will be counted when determining whether you control four or more lands, but Fabled Passage will not.

Grand Arbiter Augustin IV

Wizards of the Coast 1 May 2006

This reduces only generic mana portion of mana costs. A spell you cast with mana cost {1}{W}{U} will cost {W}{U} to cast.

Wizards of the Coast 1 May 2006

Spells you cast that are both blue and white cost {2} less to cast.

Isshin, Two Heavens as One

Wizards of the Coast 18 Feb 2022

Isshin's effect doesn't copy the triggered ability; it just causes the ability to trigger twice. Any choices made as you put the ability onto the stack, such as modes and targets, are made separately for each instance of the ability. Any choices made on resolution are also made individually.

Wizards of the Coast 18 Feb 2022

Isshin, Two Heavens as One's ability affects only triggered abilities with conditions that are directly related to attacking, such as “whenever [this creature] attacks” or “whenever you attack with one or more creatures.” It does not affect triggered abilities with other trigger conditions, such as “whenever [this creature] becomes tapped.”

Lightning Greaves

Wizards of the Coast 7 Aug 2020

If a creature enters the battlefield under your control and gains haste, but then loses it before attacking, it won't be able to attack that turn. This means that you can't use one Lightning Greaves to allow two new creatures to attack in the same turn.

Wizards of the Coast 7 Aug 2020

You can't simply unequip Equipment from a creature. If Lightning Greaves is attached to the only creature you control, you won't be able to attach other equipment to it (or target it with anything else) until you have another creature to which you can attach Lightning Greaves.

Mesmeric Orb

Wizards of the Coast 7 Aug 2020

If permanents become untapped during the untap step, Mesmeric Orb's ability will trigger that many times. However, since no player gets priority during the untap step, those abilities wait to be put on the stack until the upkeep starts. At that time, any "beginning of upkeep" triggers will also trigger. Those abilities and Mesmeric Orb's triggers are put onto the stack at the same time.

Mindcrank

Wizards of the Coast 17 Nov 2017

Damage dealt to an opponent usually causes that opponent to lose life. An opponent paying life also causes loss of life.

Mutational Advantage

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

Players can respond to a spell or ability whose effect includes proliferating. Once that spell or ability starts to resolve, however, and its controller chooses which permanents and players will get new counters, it’s too late for anyone to respond.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

You can choose any permanent that has a counter, including ones controlled by opponents. You can choose any player who has a counter, including opponents. You can’t choose cards in any zone other than the battlefield, even if they have counters on them.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

You don’t have to choose every permanent or player that has a counter—only the ones you want to add counters to. Since “any number” includes zero, you don’t have to choose any permanents at all, and you don’t have to choose any players at all.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

The set of permanents affected by Mutational Advantage is determined at the time Mutational Advantage resolves. Permanents that gain counters later in the turn won’t become affected by this effect, and permanents that lose all of their counters later in the turn won’t stop being affected.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

If a player or permanent has more than one kind of counter on it, and you choose for it to get additional counters, it must get one of each kind of counter it already has. You can’t have it get just one kind of counter it already has and not the others.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

Some spells and abilities that cause you to proliferate may require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won’t resolve. You won’t proliferate.

Nuka-Cola Vending Machine

Wizards of the Coast 8 Nov 2024

Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures, it's never a creature type.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Nov 2024

You can't sacrifice a Food to pay multiple costs. For example, you can't sacrifice a Food token to activate its own ability and also to activate Maraleaf Rider's ability.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Nov 2024

Whatever you do, don't eat the delicious cards.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

Nuka-Cola Vending Machine's last ability triggers whenever you sacrifice a Food for any reason, not just to activate a Food's activated ability.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

If an effect refers to a Food, it means any Food artifact, not just a Food artifact token. For example, if you sacrifice a nontoken Food artifact, such as Candy Trail from the Wilds of Eldraine set, Nuka-Cola Vending Machine's last ability will trigger.

Patchwork Banner

Wizards of the Coast 26 Jul 2024

You must choose an existing creature type, such as Bird or Wizard. Card types such as artifact can't be chosen.

Pre-War Formalwear

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

If Pre-War Formalwear can't be attached to the permanent returned to the battlefield by its first ability (perhaps because it's not currently a creature), Pre-War Formalwear will remain on the battlefield unattached.

Propaganda

Wizards of the Coast 1 Feb 2014

Unless some effect explicitly says otherwise, a creature that can't attack you can still attack a planeswalker you control.

Wizards of the Coast 1 Feb 2007

In the Two-Headed Giant format, you still only have to pay once per creature.

Wizards of the Coast 4 Oct 2004

Paying this cost is not an instant or any other kind of ability, it is an additional cost on the declaration of the attacker.

Wizards of the Coast 4 Oct 2004

If there are multiple attacks in a turn, then you have to pay for each attack.

Wizards of the Coast 4 Oct 2004

If there is more than one Propaganda on the battlefield, the cost is cumulative.

Wizards of the Coast 4 Oct 2004

The payment is made during the declare attackers step at the same time you are declaring the attacker.

Reflecting Pool

Wizards of the Coast 25 Jul 2025

Any change to a land’s type or abilities gained by a land can affect the types of mana a land can produce.

Wizards of the Coast 25 Jul 2025

Multiple Reflecting Pools won’t help each other produce mana. If you control a Reflecting Pool, and all other lands you control either lack mana abilities or are other Reflecting Pools, you may still activate Reflecting Pool’s ability—it just won’t produce any mana.

Wizards of the Coast 25 Jul 2025

Reflecting Pool’s ability checks the effects of all mana-producing abilities of lands you control, but it doesn’t check their costs or legality. For example, Spire of Industry says “{T}, Pay 1 life: Add one mana of any color. Activate only if you control an artifact.” If you control Spire of Industry and Reflecting Pool, you can tap Reflecting Pool for any color of mana. It doesn’t matter whether you control an artifact, whether you can pay 1 life, or whether Spire of Industry is untapped.

Wizards of the Coast 25 Jul 2025

The types of mana are white, blue, black, red, green, and colorless.

Wizards of the Coast 25 Jul 2025

Reflecting Pool’s ability doesn’t care about any restrictions or riders your lands put on the mana they produce, such as those of Plaza of Heroes or Power Depot. It just produces one mana of the appropriate type, with no restrictions or riders.

Reliquary Tower

Wizards of the Coast 1 Feb 2009

If multiple effects modify your hand size, apply them in timestamp order. For example, if you put Null Profusion (an enchantment that says your maximum hand size is two) onto the battlefield and then put Reliquary Tower onto the battlefield, you'll have no maximum hand size. However, if those permanents enter in the opposite order, your maximum hand size would be two.

Ripples of Potential

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2023

Players can respond to a spell or ability whose effect includes proliferating. Once that spell or ability starts to resolve, however, and its controller chooses which permanents and players will get new counters, it's too late for anyone to respond.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2023

A phased-out token will phase in at the beginning of its controller's untap step just like a nontoken permanent would.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2023

An ability that triggers "Whenever you proliferate" triggers even if you chose no permanents or players while doing so.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2023

As a creature is phased out, Auras and Equipment attached to it also phase out at the same time. Those Auras and Equipment will phase in at the same time that creature does, and they'll phase in still attached to that creature.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2023

Phased-out permanents are treated as though they don't exist. They can't be the target of spells or abilities, their static abilities have no effect on the game, their triggered abilities can't trigger, they can't attack or block, and so on.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2023

Choices made for permanents as they entered the battlefield are remembered even after they phase in.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2023

If a player or permanent has more than one kind of counter on it, and you choose for it to get additional counters, it must get one of each kind of counter it already has. You can't have it get just one kind of counter it already has and not the others.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2023

Permanents phase back in during their controller's untap step, immediately before that player untaps their permanents. Creatures that phase in this way are able to attack and pay a cost of {T} during that turn. If a permanent had counters on it when it phased out, it will have those counters when it phases back in.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2023

To proliferate, you can choose any permanent that has a counter, including ones controlled by opponents. You can choose any player who has a counter, including opponents. You can't choose cards in any zone other than the battlefield, even if they have counters on them.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2023

Phasing out doesn't cause any "leaves the battlefield" abilities to trigger. Similarly, phasing in won't cause any "enters the battlefield" abilities to trigger.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2023

Any continuous effects with a "for as long as" duration ignore phased-out objects. If ignoring those objects causes the effect's conditions to no longer be met, the duration will expire.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2023

You don't have to choose every permanent or player that has a counter, only the ones you want to add another counter to. Since "any number" includes zero, you don't have to choose any permanents at all, and you don't have to choose any players at all.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2023

An attacking or blocking creature that phases out is removed from combat.

Sphere of Resistance

Wizards of the Coast 4 Oct 2004

It affects all players, including you.

T-45 Power Armor

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

Multiple instances of menace are redundant. The same is true for trample and lifelink.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

Some triggered abilities state that you "may pay" a certain amount of {E}. You can't pay that amount multiple times to multiply the effect. You simply choose whether or not to pay that amount of {E} as the ability resolves.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

Keep track of how many energy counters each player has. Potential ways to track this include writing them down on paper or using dice, but any method that is clear and mutually agreeable is fine. (At higher levels of tournament play, dice may not be allowed for tracking counters that players have.)

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

{E} is the energy symbol. It represents one energy counter.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

If a spell or ability with one or more targets states that you "may pay" some amount of {E}, and each permanent that it targets has become an illegal target, the spell or ability won't resolve. You can't pay any {E} even if you want to.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

Energy counters are a kind of counter that a player may have. They're not associated with any specific permanents.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

If an effect says you get one or more {E}, you get that many energy counters. To pay one or more {E}, you lose that many energy counters. You can't pay more energy counters than you have. Any effects that interact with counters a player gets, has, or loses can interact with energy counters.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

Energy counters aren't mana. They don't go away as steps, phases, and turns end, and effects that add mana "of any type" can't give you energy counters.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

Some triggered abilities that state that you "may pay" a certain amount of {E} describe an effect that happens "If you do." In that case, no player may take actions to try to stop the ability's effect after you make your choice. If the payment is followed by the phrase "When you do," then you'll choose any targets for that reflexive triggered ability and put it on the stack before players can take actions.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

Some spells and abilities that give you {E} may require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve. You won't get any {E}.

The Deck of Many Things

Wizards of the Coast 23 Jul 2021

Dice are identified by the number of faces each one has. For example, a d20 is a twenty-sided die.

Wizards of the Coast 23 Jul 2021

Some effects instruct you to roll again. This uses the same number and type of dice as the original roll, and that roll will use the same set of possible outcomes.

Wizards of the Coast 23 Jul 2021

An ability that tells you to roll a die will also specify what to do with the result of that roll. Most often, this is in the form of a “results table” in the card text.

Wizards of the Coast 23 Jul 2021

Tournament events have more specific rules regarding dice and die-rolling. For more information, please see the most recent version of the Magic Tournament Rules at https://wpn.wizards.com/en/document/magic-gathering-tournament-rules.

Wizards of the Coast 23 Jul 2021

Some effects may modify the result of a die roll. This may be part of the instruction to roll a die or it may come from other cards. Anything that references the “result” of a die roll is looking for the result after these modifications. Anything that is looking for the “natural result” is looking for the number shown on the face of the die before these modifications.

Wizards of the Coast 23 Jul 2021

Some abilities, like that of Pixie Guide and Barbarian Class, replace rolling a die with rolling extra dice and ignoring the lowest roll. The ignored rolls are not considered for the effect that instructed you to roll a die, and do not cause abilities to trigger. For all intents and purposes, once you determine which dice count, any extra dice were never rolled.

Wizards of the Coast 23 Jul 2021

Like all results tables, the one on The Deck of Many Things cares about the result of the die roll after any adjustments, such as subtracting the number of cards in your hand. This means it's usually not possible to get a result of 20 unless you have no cards in hand.

Wizards of the Coast 23 Jul 2021

The instruction to roll a die and the effect that occurs because of the result are all part of the same ability. Players do not get the chance to respond to the ability after knowing the result of the roll.

Wizards of the Coast 23 Jul 2021

Dice used must have equally likely outcomes and the roll must be fair. Although physical dice are recommended, digital substitutes are allowed, provided they have the same number of equally likely outcomes as specified in the original roll instruction.

Wizards of the Coast 23 Jul 2021

While playing Planechase, rolling the planar die will cause any ability that triggers whenever a player rolls one or more dice to trigger. However, any effect that refers to a numerical result will ignore the rolling of the planar die.

Wizards of the Coast 23 Jul 2021

An effect that says “choose a target, then roll a d20” or similar still uses the normal process of putting an ability on the stack and resolving it. Choosing targets is part of putting the ability on the stack and rolling the d20 happens later, as the ability resolves.

The Wise Mothman

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

In a game using the shared team turns option, such as an Archenemy or Two-Headed Giant game, the inherent triggered ability associated with rad counters triggers once for each player on the active team that has rad counters. Each instance of that ability is controlled by one of those players.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

Rad counters are a kind of counter that a player may have. They’re not associated with any specific permanents.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

There is an inherent triggered ability associated with having rad counters. This triggered ability has no source and is controlled by the active player. The full text of this ability is “At the beginning of the precombat main phase of a player with rad counters, that player mills cards equal to the number of rad counters they have. For each nonland card milled this way, that player loses 1 life and removes one rad counter from themselves.”

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

Keep track of how many rad counters each player has. Potential ways to track this include writing them down on paper or using dice, but any method that is clear and mutually agreeable is fine.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

Any effects (such as proliferate) that interact with counters a player gets, has, or loses can interact with rad counters.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

If more than one player is instructed to mill at the same time (by the activated ability of Raul, Trouble Shooter, for example), as long as at least one nonland card is milled, The Wise Mothman’s last ability will trigger just once.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

The cards are milled all at once, which means abilities that trigger “whenever one or more nonland cards are milled” will trigger exactly once as long as at least one nonland card was milled.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

Rad counters don’t go away as steps, phases, or turns end. They only go away when an effect instructs a player to remove rad counters from themselves.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Mar 2024

If a player has fewer cards remaining in their library than the number of rad counters they have when the triggered ability resolves, they’ll mill as many cards as they can.

Tinybones, Trinket Thief

Wizards of the Coast 23 Jun 2020

Tinybones checks which opponents have no cards in hand only as its last ability resolves.

Wizards of the Coast 23 Jun 2020

Tinybones’s first ability triggers only if an opponent has discarded a card before the end step begins. If an opponent has more cards in hand than their maximum hand size, they’ll discard during their cleanup step, which is after the end step.

Wizards of the Coast 23 Jun 2020

Tinybones’s first ability has you draw just one card and lose just 1 life, no matter how many opponents discarded cards and no matter how many cards were discarded beyond the first.

Trinisphere

Wizards of the Coast 7 Aug 2020

To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. Finally, apply Trinisphere's effect if the mana component of the spell's cost is less than three mana. The mana value of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.

Wizards of the Coast 7 Aug 2020

If Trinisphere leaves the battlefield or becomes tapped or untapped as a cost to cast a spell, this cost is paid after you've locked in the total cost.

Winter Orb

Wizards of the Coast 8 Jun 2016

All permanents untap during a player’s untap step at once. If Winter Orb is tapped as your untap step begins, your lands will all untap.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Jun 2016

You can’t tap Winter Orb just because you want to. Another ability, such as that of Glare of Subdual, must instruct or allow you to do so.
