Anowon, the Ruin Thief

Wizards of the Coast 25 Sep 2020

Because damage remains marked on a creature until the damage is removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to other Rogues you control may become lethal if Anowon leaves the battlefield during that turn.

Wizards of the Coast 25 Sep 2020

If Rogues you control deal combat damage to two players at once, Anowon’s ability triggers twice.

Wizards of the Coast 25 Sep 2020

The player dealt combat damage mills cards only for the damage dealt by your Rogues, not for any other combat damage dealt to them at the same time.

Wizards of the Coast 25 Sep 2020

You draw just one card, no matter how many creature cards the player mills beyond the first.

Gonti, Lord of Luxury

Wizards of the Coast 28 Jul 2023

The six types of mana are white, blue, black, red, green, and colorless. Snow mana is not a type of mana. Gonti, Lord of Luxury won't let you pay a snow cost using mana produced by a nonsnow source.

Wizards of the Coast 20 Sep 2016

Gonti doesn't change when you can cast the exiled card. For example, if you exile a creature card without flash, you can cast it only during your main phase when the stack is empty.

Wizards of the Coast 20 Sep 2016

Casting the card causes it to leave exile. You can't cast it multiple times.

Wizards of the Coast 20 Sep 2016

You may look at and cast that card (and spend mana as though it were mana of any type to do so) even if Gonti leaves the battlefield. If another player gains control of Gonti, that player can't look at or cast the card, and you still can.

Wizards of the Coast 20 Sep 2016

You pay the costs for the exiled card if you cast it. You may pay alternative costs such as emerge rather than the card's mana cost.

Wizards of the Coast 20 Sep 2016

If you leave the game, the card remains exiled face down indefinitely. No player may look at it.

Wizards of the Coast 20 Sep 2016

An effect that instructs you to "cast" a card doesn't allow you to play lands.

Grenzo, Dungeon Warden

Wizards of the Coast 19 Mar 2021

If the card is a creature card with power less than or equal to Grenzo's power, it's put onto the battlefield from your graveyard, not from your library. Players can't attempt to exile it from your graveyard in response.

Wizards of the Coast 19 Mar 2021

Compare Grenzo's power when the ability resolves with the power of the creature card in your graveyard to determine if you put it onto the battlefield. If Grenzo isn't on the battlefield at this time, use its last known power from when it was on the battlefield.

Wizards of the Coast 19 Mar 2021

If a replacement effect (such as that of Leyline of the Void) causes the card to be put from your library directly into exile, you'll put it onto the battlefield from exile if it's a creature card with appropriate power.

Vilis, Broker of Blood

Wizards of the Coast 12 Jul 2019

If you pay life to cast a spell or activate an ability, you don't draw cards until after you've finished casting that spell or activating that ability. You draw those cards before that spell or ability resolves, but after targets are chosen for it.

Wizards of the Coast 12 Jul 2019

A player loses life if they pay life.
