Cathartic Reunion

Wizards of the Coast 7 Aug 2020

Because discarding two cards is an additional cost, you can't cast Cathartic Reunion if you don't have at least two other cards in hand.

Distant Melody

Wizards of the Coast 1 Apr 2008

Note that this spell counts the number of permanents you control of the chosen type, not just the number of creatures you control. It will also take your kindred permanents of the chosen type into account.

Giver of Runes

Wizards of the Coast 14 Jun 2019

Protection from a color means that the target creature can't be blocked by creatures of that color, can't be the target of spells of that color or abilities from sources of that color, can't be enchanted or equipped by Auras or Equipment of that color, and all damage that sources of that color would deal to it is prevented. Nothing other than these events is prevented or illegal.

Wizards of the Coast 14 Jun 2019

A permanent gaining protection may cause a spell or ability on the stack to have an illegal target. As a spell or ability tries to resolve, if all its targets are illegal, that spell or ability doesn't resolve. None of its effects happen, including effects unrelated to the target. If at least one target is still legal, the spell or ability does as much as it can to the remaining legal targets, and its other effects still happen.

Wizards of the Coast 14 Jun 2019

Similarly, protection from colorless means that the target creature can't be blocked by colorless creatures, can't be the target of colorless spells or abilities of colorless sources, can't be enchanted or equipped by colorless Auras or Equipment, and all damage that colorless sources would deal to it is prevented.

Homeward Path

Wizards of the Coast 22 Sep 2011

The owner of a token is the player under whose control the token was put onto the battlefield.

Wizards of the Coast 22 Sep 2011

The owner of a card is the player who started the game with that card in their deck.

Moment's Peace

Wizards of the Coast 19 Mar 2021

A spell cast using flashback will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, is countered, or leaves the stack in some other way.

Wizards of the Coast 19 Mar 2021

To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a flashback cost) you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.

Wizards of the Coast 19 Mar 2021

You must still follow any timing restrictions and permissions, including those based on the card's type. For instance, you can cast a sorcery using flashback only when you could normally cast a sorcery.

Wizards of the Coast 19 Mar 2021

You can cast a spell using flashback even if it was somehow put into your graveyard without having been cast.

Wizards of the Coast 19 Mar 2021

"Flashback [cost]" means "You may cast this card from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost" and "If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack."

Wizards of the Coast 19 Mar 2021

If a card with flashback is put into your graveyard during your turn, you can cast it if it's legal to do so before any other player can take any actions.

Also Printed in Other Drops

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