Demonlord Belzenlok

Wizards of the Coast 27 Apr 2018

The mana value of a split card, such as a card with aftermath from the Amonkhet block, is equal to the combined mana cost of its two halves.

Wizards of the Coast 27 Apr 2018

Demonlord Belzenlok's ability causes it to deal an amount of damage to you all at once; it doesn't deal 1 damage multiple times.

Wizards of the Coast 27 Apr 2018

If the mana cost of the nonland card includes {X}, X is considered to be 0.

Wizards of the Coast 27 Apr 2018

If the nonland card doesn't have a mana cost, its mana value is 0.

Wizards of the Coast 27 Apr 2018

Once the triggered ability resolves, the ability will continue until you either exile a nonland card with mana value 3 or less or fail to exile any nonland cards while performing the process. You can't choose to stop receiving the blessings of Demonlord Belzenlok any sooner.

Wizards of the Coast 27 Apr 2018

Land cards exiled this way remain exiled.

Griselbrand

Wizards of the Coast 1 May 2012

You can’t activate Griselbrand’s ability if you have 6 or less life.

Kothophed, Soul Hoarder

Wizards of the Coast 22 Jun 2015

The triggered ability is mandatory. You can't decline to draw the card and lose life, even if you want to.

Wizards of the Coast 22 Jun 2015

It doesn't matter who controlled the permanent when it was put into a graveyard.

Liliana's Contract

Wizards of the Coast 13 Jul 2018

If the second ability does trigger, but you no longer control four Demons with different names as the ability resolves, you won’t win the game.

Wizards of the Coast 13 Jul 2018

If you don’t control four Demons with different names as your upkeep begins, the second ability of Liliana’s Contract won’t trigger. You can’t take any actions during your turn before your upkeep begins.
