Olivia Voldaren

Wizards of the Coast 14 Mar 2017

If you activate Olivia Voldaren’s last ability, and before that ability resolves you lose control of Olivia Voldaren, the ability will resolve with no effect. You won’t gain control of the targeted Vampire.

Wizards of the Coast 14 Mar 2017

If Olivia Voldaren deals lethal damage to a creature with its first activated ability, that creature will become a Vampire before dying.

Questing Beast

Wizards of the Coast 4 Oct 2019

Once a creature with power 3 or greater has blocked this creature, changing the power of the blocking creature won't cause this creature to become unblocked.

Wizards of the Coast 4 Oct 2019

If the opponent dealt damage controls no planeswalkers, Questing Beast's last ability simply does nothing.

Wizards of the Coast 4 Oct 2019

Questing Beast only stops combat damage from being prevented by effects that specifically use the word “prevent.”

Wizards of the Coast 4 Oct 2019

The damage Questing Beast deals to the target planeswalker as its last ability resolves isn't combat damage.

The World Tree

Wizards of the Coast 5 Feb 2021

The World Tree’s third ability doesn’t cause lands you control to lose any of their abilities. It also doesn’t cause lands you control to gain or lose any land types.

Walking Ballista

Wizards of the Coast 7 Aug 2020

A casting cost of {X}{X} means that you pay twice X. If you want X to be 3, you pay {6} to cast Walking Ballista.

Wizards of the Coast 7 Aug 2020

If Walking Ballista has been dealt damage or had its toughness reduced by an effect, this limits how many times you'll be able to remove +1/+1 counters from it in a single turn. For example, if it has three +1/+1 counters on it and has been dealt 1 damage this turn, it will be destroyed immediately after you activate the ability a second time and you won't be able to activate it a third time.

Wheel and Deal

Wizards of the Coast 4 Oct 2004

You can't target yourself.

Wizards of the Coast 4 Oct 2004

You can choose to target zero opponents.
