Thanx, Stephen. ---- Stephen D'Angelo | Crystal Keep Editor dangelo@crystalkeep.com | Former Wizards of the Coast NetRep ============================================================================== - - * - * - A - * - * - - ________: Info: Color=Blue Type=Creature - Shapeshifter Cost=1U UH(U) Text(UH): 1/1. ; {1}: This card's name becomes the name of your choice. Play this ability anywhere, anytime. This card's flavor text looks like an ability but it isn't. "{1}: This card's flavor text becomes the flavor text of your choice. (This ability doesn't work because it's flavor text, not rules text (but neither does this reminder text, so you figure it out).)" [Card Text] This card has no name. The underscores are used to make it clear that there is no name, but the name has no underscores in it. [Unhinged FAQ 2004/11/15] You can only choose a name that already exists in Magic. You cannot make up a completely new name. [Unhinged FAQ 2004/11/15] While the rules officially say you can't, it's more fun to let you play the ability to change the flavor text if you want to, but you can only change it to some flavor text that already exists in the game. [Unhinged FAQ 2004/11/15] All tournament formats have banned cards from Unhinged. Abandoned Outpost: Info: Color=Land Type=Land Cost=None OD(C) Text(OD): ~this~ comes into play tapped. ; {Tap}: Add {W} to your mana pool. ; {Tap},Sacrifice ~this~: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool.

[D'Angelo 1998/11/02] Note - Also see X Costs, Rule G24.1. Abbey Gargoyles: Info: Color=White Type=Creature - Gargoyle Cost=2WWW HL(U3)/5(U) Text(HL/5th): 3/4, Flying, Protection from Red.

[Oracle 1999/07/23] The ability is typically used in response to a damaging effect such as a Lightning Bolt. It can also be used after declaring this card as a blocker but before damage dealing. This makes it a 1/6 creature and it still deals damage. [D'Angelo 1999/08/01] Abduction: Info: Color=Blue Type=Enchantment - Aura Cost=2UU WL(U)/6(U) + Text(6th+errata): Enchant creature. ; When ~this~ comes into play, untap enchanted creature. ; You control enchanted creature. ; When enchanted creature is put into a graveyard, return that card to play under its owner's control.

Note - Prior to Oracle 2005/08/01, this card was of type "Enchant Creature". Abeyance: Info: Color=White Type=Instant Cost=1W WL(R) Text(WL+errata): Until end of turn, target player cannot play instants, sorceries, or activated abilities that aren't mana abilities. ; Draw a card. [Oracle 2005/08/01] It only affects player's right to announce things. It does not affect anything which was already announced but has not yet resolved. [D'Angelo 1997/06/30] In other words, Abeyance cannot be used to counter a spell or ability. [Duelist Magazine #19, Page 34] The player can respond to the casting of this spell by playing instant spells and abilities other than mana abilities. But after this spell resolves, they cannot announce any more this turn. [D'Angelo 1999/07/10] Never prevents mana abilities from being played. [WotC Rules Team 1997/10/06] This means that you can tap lands for mana and play abilities of cards like Llanowar Elves which are played as mana abilities. Does not prohibit abilities which are not activated, such as continuous abilities of cards like Crusade, triggered abilities, or declaration of attackers or blockers. [D'Angelo 1999/07/10] Abeyance affects spells based on the spell's type and not on whether they are played when some other type would be legal. So, it does not prohibit spells that say "is played as an instant" or "can be played whenever you could play an instant" if the spell's type is not otherwise prevented. For example, an enchantment that could be played when you can play an instant is legal under Abeyance. [WotC Rules Team 1997/10/06] Similarly, a Summon spell played via Winding Canyons is legal. [Aahz 1997/09/09] Does prohibit the abilities of cards which are not in play. For example, the Ashen Ghoul's ability can not be played while it is in your graveyard. [WotC Rules Team 1997/12/18] [Duelist Magazine #22, Page 27] Abjure: Info: Color=Blue Type=Instant Cost=U WL(C) Text(WL+errata): As an additional cost to play ~this~, sacrifice a blue permanent. ; Counter target spell. [Oracle 1999/07/01] You cannot sacrifice multiple permanents to get a multiple effect. [D'Angelo 1997/06/12] Note - Before errata this spell was of type Interrupt. Abolish: Info: Color=White Type=Instant Cost=1WW PY(U) Text(PY+errata): You may discard a Plains card rather than pay ~this~'s mana cost. ; Destroy target artifact or enchantment. [Oracle 2005/08/01] You may discard a non-basic land that "counts as" or "is" a plains. [DeLaney 2000/05/29] Abomination: Info: Color=Black Type=Creature - Abomination Cost=3BB LG(U1)/4(U) Text(4th+errata): 2/6. ; Whenever ~this~ blocks or becomes blocked by a green or white creature, destroy that creature at end of combat. [Oracle 1999/09/03] The color of the blocking/blocked creature is checked only at declaration of the block. If the creature is indeed green or white at that time, it will be destroyed at the end of the combat even if it changes color before the combat ends. [WotC Rules Team 1994/07/27] Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have banned this card since 1999/10/01.

Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Oracle 2005/08/01. About Face: Info: Color=Red Type=Instant Cost=R UL(C) Text(UL+errata): Switch target creature's power and toughness until end of turn. [Oracle 2005/08/01] As per Rule 418.5a, power and toughness switching is applied after any effects that modify power/toughness. This means that even if new spells and abilities are played to modify power/toughness, they are applied before the switch. [D'Angelo 2006/01/01] Note - See Transmutation for additional rulings. Absolute Grace: Info: Color=White Type=Enchantment Cost=1W US(U) Text(US+errata): All creatures have protection from black. [Oracle 1999/05/01] This affects all creatures, not just your own.

[D'Angelo 2001/04/16] Abu Ja'far: Info: Color=White Type=Creature - Leper Cost=W AN(U3)/CH(U3) Text(CH+errata): 0/1. ; When ~this~ is put into a graveyard from play, destroy all creatures blocking or blocked by it. They can't be regenerated. [Oracle 2001/08/24] Protection from White will not keep a creature from being destroyed by Abu's power because combat abilities are not considered to be targeted. [D'Angelo 1994/06/01] The ability affects creatures that are currently blocking or blocked by it. It does not affect ones in the past. [D'Angelo 2006/08/24] Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have banned this card since 1999/10/01.

Abundance: Info: Color=Green Type=Enchantment Cost=2GG US(R) Text(US+errata): If you would draw a card, you may instead choose land or nonland and reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a card of the chosen kind. Put that card into your hand and put all other cards revealed this way on the bottom of your library in any order. [Oracle 1999/05/01] If no card of the chosen type is found before your library empties, the effect does not let you draw a card at all, but you do get to order all the cards in your library any way you choose. [D'Angelo 1998/10/08] If you use this on a multi-card draw, each replaced draw is handled separately. In other words, you reveal and then put on the bottom of the library for the first card, then do the same for the second, and so on. [bethmo 1998/10/12] In a multi-card draw you do not have to choose how many of those draws will be replaced before you do any drawing or use of this card. [D'Angelo 1999/12/07] This replacement effect (see Rule 419) replaces the draw, so nothing that triggers on a draw will trigger. [Barclay 1998/03/30] The Abyss: Info: Color=Black Type=World Enchantment Cost=3B LG(R) Text(LG+errata): At the beginning of each player's upkeep, destroy target nonartifact creature that player controls of his or her choice. It can't be regenerated. [Oracle 2001/08/24] This is a targeted ability. The Abyss targets one creature each upkeep. It cannot target creatures which are untargetable, such as those with Protection from Black. [Aahz 1994/07/13] If the target becomes invalid after being chosen but before resolution, you do not have to choose another target. [Duelist Magazine #16, Page 25] The controller of The Abyss controls the ability, but the current player chooses what gets destroyed. [Barclay 2000/12/31] Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have always banned this card. Note - Also see Enchant World, Rule G23.3. Note - This card was of type "Enchant World" until Oracle 2005/08/01. Abyssal Gatekeeper: Info: Color=Black Type=Creature - Horror Cost=1B WL(C) Text(WL+errata): 1/1. ; When ~this~ is put into a graveyard from play, each player sacrifices a creature. [Oracle 1999/07/01] If another creature goes to the graveyard at the same time as this card, you cannot choose that creature as the one to be sacrificed by the Gatekeeper's triggered ability. This is because you finish putting all the dying creatures into the graveyard before dealing with the Gatekeeper's triggered ability, and therefore those other creatures going to the graveyard with it are not legal targets. [Duelist Magazine #19, Page 34] The "sacrifice a creature" effect is not targeted. It can affect creatures with protection from black. [D'Angelo 1997/08/27] + Note - This card was of creature type "Gatekeeper" until Oracle 2007/05/01 when it changed to "Horror".

Abyssal Nightstalker: Info: Color=Black Type=Creature - Nightstalker Cost=3B P2(U) Text(P2+errata): 2/2. ; Whenever ~this~ attacks and isn't blocked, defending player discards a card.

After that cleanup step ends, a new one will begin and Abyssal Nocturnus's effect will end. It won't carry over into the next turn. [Guildpact FAQ 2005/12/22] Note - Also see Fear, Rule 502.25.

[WotC Rules Team 1997/03/14] For example, it counts for abilities that interact with creature enchantments, such as Rabid Wombat. [Aahz 1997/06/06] A "creature card" is a Creature card or Artifact Creature card. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01] Older cards of type Summon are also Creature cards. You can Animate a creature which was discarded from a hand and therefore was never in play. [D'Angelo 1994/04/01] The creature comes out as if it were just played. Any X in the mana cost is zero (see Rule G24.1). So animating a Rock Hydra gives you a hydra with zero heads. [Mirage, Page 31] When putting a card into play that requires a definition for its value, such as with Minion of the Wastes, you do what is needed to define the value. [WotC Rules Team 1998/02/02] In the case of Minion of the Wastes, you pay life to define its values. The animated creature comes into play with summoning sickness (see Rule G19.38), so it cannot attack until it begins one of its controller's turns in play. [D'Angelo 1998/02/03] This is a targeted ability. Note that cards in the graveyard do not have Protection from Color abilities (see Rule 402.8), but the comes into play ability may be countered if the target creature card is removed from the graveyard before the spell resolves. If the ability is countered, then this card stays an Enchantment and stays in play. [D'Angelo 2002/12/19] If the creature card put into play has Protection from Black (or a similar effect that prevents Animate Dead from legally being attached), then it will fail to become attached and it as per Rule 212.4k, which states that an Aura trying to move onto an illegal permanent will stay where it is. Then the Animate Dead will go to the graveyard as an Aura that is not enchanting anything. This will not destroy the creature because it is not enchanting any creature at the time it leaves play. [D'Angelo 2006/05/09] If the creature phases out (see Rule 502.15) without the Animate Dead because Animate Dead has been affected by Spatial Binding, the Animate Dead is destroyed but the creature is not. The creature will phase in perfectly normal since the Animate Dead ability did not destroy it. [Aahz 1997/02/16] Once it becomes an "Enchantment - Aura", it has no targeting restriction other than it must enchant a creature. So if you try to move it, using an effect such as Crown of the Ages, to a different creature, it can be moved to any creature in play. It cannot pull another creature from the graveyard, and the creature it moves off of is not destroyed. [D'Angelo 2006/08/29] Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.

All actions must be simple physical or verbal actions that a PLAYER can perform while sitting in a chair, without jeopardizing the health and security of said PLAYER. ; When a PLAYER does not perform all the prescribed actions in the correct order, sacrifice ~this~ and said PLAYER discards his or her complement of cards in hand (hereafter known as "HAND"). [D'Angelo 2000/03/09 - unofficial errata] This card works like this... At the beginning of the next player's upkeep, he or she will pick a simple verbal or physical action such as clapping his or her hands. At the beginning of his or her upkeep, the next player (you in a two-player game) must clap his or her hands and then add another action--for example, saying "Yabba Dabba Doo." At the beginning of his or her upkeep, the next player claps his or her hands, says "Yabba Dabba Doo," and then adds a new action. This little game continues until someone messes up the order, at which point the controller of Bureaucracy sacrifices the card and the player who made the mistake loses all the cards in his or her hand. [QAS 1998/09/09] A player must clearly identify to all players what action he or she is adding. Show it and describe it if necessary. Don't make the player guess. [QAS 1998/09/09] The participant is the PLAYER, not the trading card game. [DeLaney 1998/08/12] Each other player in the game must assent that they are capable of performing the action to be added to the ACTION QUEUE at the time it is added, or the PLAYER must choose a different action. [DeLaney 1998/08/12] Duplicate actions are legal. [DeLaney 1998/08/12] You can only add an action to the end of the ACTION QUEUE, not the beginning. [D'Angelo 1998/09/07] Even though some might argue that the beginning is just the "other end". You can optionally play that way. If there is more than one Bureaucracy in play, you choose which order to deal with them, then deal with each of their ACTION QUEUEs separately. [QAS 1998/09/09] You can pick actions which make it hard for the opponent to meet the requirements of another card. Such as clapping hands when the opponent is enchanted with Volrath's Motion Sensor. [QAS 1998/09/09] The action needs to be simple, so saying a Censorship word twenty times is not acceptable. [QAS 1998/09/09] Once is definitely okay, twice is probably okay, and three or more times isn't very simple. [D'Angelo 1998/09/21] A judge can consider "unsportsmanlike" actions illegal. This includes any action which invades a person's privacy without their permission, such as tossing another player's deck into the air, touching the person in any way, or so on. [D'Angelo 1999/02/21] Any action which would break or law or local rule is not a valid choice. [D'Angelo 1999/02/21] For example, you cannot ask someone to yell "Fire" in a crowded room. Yelling "judge" can be considered an illegal action by the judges if it annoys them. [D'Angelo 1999/02/21] All tournament formats have banned cards from Unglued.

If the player discards a card, he or she draws a card. If the player doesn't discard a card, he or she puts the top card of his or her library into his or her graveyard. [Oracle 2006/04/25] If you cast a spell to draw extra cards (such as Ancestral Recall or Wheel of Fortune) at some time outside the draw step, this affects all the cards drawn. During your draw step, the first card drawn is not affected. [bethmo 1994/06/15] Only affects the drawing of cards. It does not affect spells like Demonic Tutor, Millstone, or Petra Sphinx which affect the library but do not say "draw" a card. [bethmo 1994/06/22] If X cards are drawn as the resolution of a single spell/ability, then the game treats this as X separate "draw one card" actions. So for each card that would be drawn, apply the effect. [D'Angelo 2000/07/06] The effect is cumulative. If you have two of these out, each of them will modify on each draw (after the first one if during the draw step), and will cause the player to discard or to "mill" a card from their library. As they resolve in order, the player must discard if possible. Once the player fails to discard and instead "mills" a card, all further effects of additional Chains of Mephistopheles will not do anything. This is because the "mill" also replaces the draw effect and the player is no longer drawing a card. [WotC Rules Team 1996/12/03] You handle them in order. Each one makes you discard first and then continue or else mill a card and lose the draw. This is a replacement effect (see Rule 419).

[Aahz 1994/12/03] You cannot interfere in any physical way with the playing of this card. [PPG Page 221] It must flip 360 degrees (that's what "flip entirely" means). [FAQ 1994/04/01] And this flip must be in the air and not in your hand. "Cards it lands on" refers to cards it touches once it stops moving. [Snark 1993/11/01] If the Orb does not touch a card because a token is between them, the Orb counts as not touching the card. [bethmo 1994/06/01] Same goes if there are cards stacked up.

[Aahz 1995/04/17] Ripping the Chaos Orb into confetti and then scattering it (as each piece flops 360 degrees) across your opponent's cards was ruled legal at one time, but it was suggested that this strategy not be allowed in the final round of a tournament. [bethmo 1994/10/01] This ruling is mostly humorous in value. You are very unlikely to get WotC or a NetRep to back this one, but I'm listing it because it is funny. Also, note that if you remove a card from your deck during a tournament then you are disqualified. You cannot remove or shred one of your opponent's cards.

If the creature is not still there when the copy resolves, the copy ability is countered and no token is put into play. This card remains in play as a global enchantment with no token. [D'Angelo 1999/08/31] The mana cost is copied. This makes Dance of Many the exception to the rule that token creatures have a mana cost of zero.

Note that cards in the graveyard do not have Protection from Color abilities (see Rule 402.8), but the comes into play ability may be countered if the target creature card is removed from the graveyard before the spell resolves. If the ability is countered, then this card stays an Enchantment and stays in play. [D'Angelo 2002/12/19] If more than one Dance of the Dead ends up on a creature, each contributes a +1/+1.

[D'Angelo 2000/03/03] Cannot be used to counter abilities of permanents such as Demonic Hordes or others which destroy lands. [bethmo 1994/06/14] Will not counter a spell that deals damage to an animated land, even if it would deal more damage than the land's toughness. This is because the spell itself does not destroy the land directly. The land is destroyed indirectly by a game rule. [Barclay 2003/01/20] This is a REVERSAL. Will not counter a spell like Demonic Hordes which creates a possibility of a land being destroyed at a later time. [bethmo 1994/06/15] Will not counter a spell which would indirectly cause destruction of one of your lands. For example, casting Resurrection on a Mold Demon or casting Terror on a creature while Earthlink is in play.

[Aahz 1996/04/16] Will not counter a spell which requires sacrificing when it enters play such as Mold Demon or Wood Elemental. [Aahz 1996/11/07] Or ones that requires sacrificing as part of the play cost. [Aahz 1994/12/17] Does not stop the sending of the land from play into its owner's hand.

[D'Angelo 1999/06/01] If you manage to turn a basic land (such as a Forest) into a creature, you can indeed use this effect on that basic land type.

[Barclay 2002/10/07] If a copy card, such as Clone, is targeted by this effect, you get to look for another copy of the card it is copying (not the Clone card). This is because a copy card actually takes on the name and initial characteristics of what it copies. [D'Angelo 2002/10/07] A face down creature has no name, so you search for cards that also have no name. Since all cards in the graveyard, hand, and library have names, this is an unmeetable condition and the spell won't do anything other than remove the targeted creature from the game.

Erithizon's controller controls the triggered ability, but their opponent chooses the target. [DeLaney 2002/04/08] This interacts in an odd way with Standard Bearer (and other Flagbearer cards). The result is that the Flagbearer ability does not apply to Erithizon's target. This is because the Flagbearer ability only works if the target is chosen by the same player (which must be an opponent) that controls the ability. With Erithizon, these are different players.

If the card has no delay counters on it, he or she puts it onto the stack as a copy of the original spell. [Oracle 2002/03/01] Note that a delayed Counterspell will be countered when it resolves since the Counterspell will no longer find that its target is on the stack, which is a requirement for countering a spell. [D'Angelo 1997/10/29] If a spell is targeted by more than one Ertai's Meddling, when the spell tries to resolve the first time, only one of the Ertai's Meddlings will be applied to it (by the choice of the caster of the spell being affected). The other Meddlings will fail since the spell will no longer be on the stack. [D'Angelo 2000/02/15] A targeted spell which is delayed will still succeed even if its target has phased out and back in again. [bethmo 1997/11/19] Once it is put back on the stack, it is a "new" spell again and can be countered or even targeted by another Ertai's Meddling. [D'Angelo 1999/08/18] This card interacts oddly with a Flashback spell. Regardless of order of resolution of the replacements, the spell ends up removed from the game and with counters on it. When it finally resolves, the Flashback effect is ignored (it got used up the previous time) and the card goes to the graveyard as normal. [Jordan 2001/09/30] If a copy of a spell (one that has no card representing it, such as from Mirari) is affected by Ertai's Meddling, the spell ceases to exist when removed from the game. It will not gain counters and will not be put back on the stack. [DeLaney 2002/02/09] If Ertai's Meddling is used to copy a spell being played face down due to Morph ability, the spell will create a face up, 2/2, colorless, nameless creature with no text. This may be a little counter-intuitive, because you might expect the card to enter play face down like it would have when originally played, but Ertai's Meddling copies only the original spell and not the entire card the spell represented.

[Snark 1994/02/01] For spells like Fireball that allow mana to be used for damage or for additional targets, the controller of the copy must use the same number of targets the original spell did.

Helm of Awakening: Info: Color=Artifact Type=Artifact Cost=2 VI(U) Text(VI+errata): Spells cost {1} less to play. [Oracle 2002/03/01] The effect is cumulative. [Aahz 1997/01/29] You apply the Helm to the total play cost. Since the play cost is the total of the mana cost (see Rule G13.7) and all costs in the card text, this means you can apply the Helm to things like Fireball's extra targets and to Buyback (see Rule 502.16) costs. The cost reduction is not applied separately to each thing, however, it is applied just once to the total cost. For example, a Capsize costs {U}{U}{1} to cast and {3} for Buyback for a total play cost of {U}{U}{4}. One Helm makes the cost {U}{U}{3} and three Helms makes the cost {U}{U}{1}. See how the reduction is applied to the total and not to individual items. [D'Angelo 1998/01/06] The effect is applied for Kicker (see Rule 502.21) the same way it is applied for Buyback (see Rule 502.16). You add the Kicker to the total cost before applying any reductions. [D'Angelo 2001/07/22] The cost reduction can apply to external penalty effects such as Gloom. [WotC Rules Team 1998/02/01] The generic X cost is still considered generic even if there is a requirement that a specific color be used for it. For example, "only black mana can be spent this way". This distinction is important for effects which reduce the generic portion of a spell's cost. For example, if you had two Helms in play (each reduces the generic costs of all spells by 1), you could cast a Drain Life for just {B} and still do 1 damage. [WotC Rules Team 1997/06/01] [Duelist Magazine #19, Page 26] Can lower the cost to zero. For example, a Brass Man. But cannot lower something below zero. [D'Angelo 1998/06/26] The lower cost is not optional like with some other cost reducers. [D'Angelo 1997/01/27] Can never affect the colored (non-generic) part of a play cost or any additions to the cost.

[Oracle 2006/07/14] Cards which are not actually in your hand, such as ones on an Elkin Bottle, cannot be played onto the Ice Cauldron. [Duelist Magazine #11, Page 57] The mana put in the Cauldron can only be used to play the given spell, but you can add additional mana to a spell. [D'Angelo 1995/06/08] This means you can pay part of the cost on one turn and the rest of it on the next turn. The mana can be used to pay for penalty costs from things like Gloom. [Rules Team 2001/05/01] The mana can be used for additional costs outlined in the spell's text. [Duelist Magazine #9, Page 61] Tapping the Cauldron for the mana is a mana ability. [D'Angelo 2000/03/09] X can be zero. This places a zero mana counter on the Cauldron. [Duelist Magazine #7, Page 9] You do not have to use any mana from the Cauldron when playing the spell if you don't want to. You don't even have to tap the Cauldron and draw the mana, you can just play the spell using mana from somewhere else. [D'Angelo 1995/06/12] You can play the spell at any time as if it were in your hand. [Duelist Magazine #7, Page 9] You can only play the spell when you could legally play it normally. So no playing a Sorcery on your opponent's turn. [Duelist Magazine #7, Page 9] When you play the spell and it resolves, it either becomes a permanent or goes to the graveyard just like normal. It does not stay out of the game. [D'Angelo 1995/08/01] If the Cauldron leaves play, you can still play any spells it removed from the game as though they were in your hand. You just no longer have access to the mana you charged the Cauldron with. [D'Angelo 2000/03/09] If the Cauldron leaves your control, the spell remains out of the game. The controller of the Cauldron is the only one that can tap to get the mana out of it. The player who put the spell out of the game with the Cauldron is the only one that can play the spell and they can do so even if they are not in control of the Cauldron. [Duelist Magazine #7, Page 9] It is possible to have more than one spell removed by the Cauldron. You can tap the Cauldron to remove the charge counter and whatever mana is on it but leave the spell there. Later, you can tap it and put in mana and a charge counter to add another spell. [Duelist Magazine #7, Page 9] If multiple spells are removed by the Cauldron, any one of them can be played. [Duelist Magazine #7, Page 9] If multiple spells are removed by the Cauldron, the mana can only be used for the spell that was removed by the Cauldron when the most recent charge counter was put there. [Aahz 1995/06/29] If the ability to remove a card with the Cauldron is countered, you do not lose the spell since the spell would be removed during resolution. [Duelist Magazine #7, Page 9] You cannot store mana that is to be used for a special purpose into the Cauldron, such as Mishra's Workshop. [Aahz 1995/07/04] If you use mana from a Soldevi Machinist to charge the Cauldron, you cannot use the mana to cast anything and so it's just mana burn waiting to happen. This is because the Ice Cauldron remembers everything about how the mana can be used and generates mana with the same restrictions. [Duelist Magazine #10, Page 44] Power Artifact will reduce the cost of placing a charge counter on it by {2}, but the Cauldron will count only mana spent on it and will not store extra mana because of the Power Artifact's effect. Thus, if you spent RR2 by declaring an RR4 cost, you get RR2 later and not RR4. [WotC Rules Team 1995/09/22] Power Artifact will force a minimum expenditure of 1 on the Cauldron. [WotC Rules Team 1995/09/22] Ice Cave: Info: Color=Blue Type=Enchantment Cost=3UU AP(R) Text(AP): Whenever a player plays a spell, any other player may pay that spell's mana cost.

It doesn't untap during its controller's untap step as long as ~this~ remains tapped. [Oracle 2000/01/15] Can be used on an already tapped attacker. [Duelist Magazine #7, Page 8] The attacking creature is not removed from the attack and still deals damage as normal.

[D'Angelo 1995/07/05] Cannot be used on a creature before it is declared to be attacking since it only targets attacking creatures. After the creature is attacking, it is okay to target it.

Icy Manipulator: Info: Color=Artifact Type=Artifact Cost=4 ABU9(U)/IA(U)/MR(U) Text(IA/MR/9th): {1},{Tap}: Tap target artifact, creature, or land. Tapping a card with an effect like this will never pay the cost of an ability. For example, tapping a land with this card will not put a point of mana into a player's pool. And tapping a Prodigal Sorcerer will not make them have to deal a point of damage to something. [D'Angelo 1998/02/03] This card's ability is played on the stack. That means that any instants or abilities announced in response to it will resolve first. Also, any card which is tapped as a cost will be tapped before this resolves. What this means is that the Icy Manipulator cannot be used to stop someone from using an ability of the permanent you plan to tap. [D'Angelo 1998/06/03] It can be used to make a player use the ability now or to not use it. For example, you can use the Icy on your opponent's Prodigal Sorcerer and force them to use it or let it get tapped. Then you can play a 6/1 Ball Lightning, knowing the creature will at least live long enough to damage your opponent. If you want to stop someone from attacking with a creature by using this card, you must do so before attackers are declared. You cannot wait until after attackers are declared and then try to use it to make a creature stop attacking. [D'Angelo 1998/06/03] Note that your opponent cannot start declaring attackers without letting you use the Icy. Tapping an attacking creature which did not tap to attack does not remove the creature from the attack or cause the creature to stop dealing damage. [D'Angelo 1998/06/03] Any cards which might trigger off a card becoming tapped will trigger. Thus, a Psychic Venom on a land that becomes tapped will cause 2 damage. [D'Angelo 1995/03/12] Can target a tapped card, but tapping a tapped card does nothing useful. [Duelist Magazine #5, Page 23] And it will not trigger "if the card becomes tapped" effects.

[Oracle 2005/08/01] The ability replaces the normal discard action with a discard action that puts the card on the library instead of the graveyard. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03] Since the card goes directly to the library, the card is not revealed unless the spell or ability requiring the discard specifically says it is. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03] The discard triggers anything else that triggers on discards, such as Psychic Purge and Megrim. [D'Angelo 1998/07/17] The text "you have no maximum hand size" means you don't have to discard down to 7 cards during your cleanup step. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03] If more than one card is discarded due to a single effect, the Library allows you to decide whether or not to use it on each of the cards. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03] You get to decide the order the cards are placed on the library if more than one goes there. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03] You can look at a randomly discarded card before deciding where it goes. [D'Angelo 1997/04/11] The ability triggers on any spell or ability that has you discard as part of the effect. It does not matter if you or your opponent control the spell or ability. The discard is forced because it is an effect. [Oracle 1998/07/01] The ability does not trigger on any spell or ability that has you discard as part of a cost. For example, Land's Edge. [Oracle 1998/07/01] Also, cards like Forbid, which have you discard as part of the buyback cost. [D'Angelo 1998/06/18] If multiple effects modify your hand size limit, apply them in the order they enter play.

[D'Angelo 2001/08/31] You cannot pay life, just like any player at less than one life cannot pay life. You can pay zero life if you want. [D'Angelo 1998/02/03] You cannot play this on an opponent. [PPG Page 221] The phrase "When Lich leaves play, you lose the game" is an absolute statement. Casting a Healing Salve or using some other life gain after the destruction (or other means of leaving play) will not save you. [WotC Rules Team 1994/01/29] Note that you will normally lose when Lich leaves play as a State-Based Effect before you can take any actions because your life total is normally zero or less while you control Lich. If you have a positive life total or are otherwise prevented from losing due to a zero life total, this triggered ability will cause you to lose the game anyway. [D'Angelo 2000/09/09] If you have multiple Lich cards in play, you must sacrifice a permanent for each damage done to you for each Lich. This is because the sacrifice is a triggered ability (see Rule 404). But you only draw one card for each life gained regardless of how many Liches you have. This is because the draw is a replacement effect (see Rule 419) and not a triggered one. [WotC Rules Team 1996/12/03] You lose if any one of the Liches leaves play. If you take more than one damage at a time, sacrifice the permanents for that damage simultaneously. [WotC Rules Team 1995/06/15] This allows you to sacrifice both a creature and any enchantment that is on it all at once. If an opponent steals control of Lich, their life total does not change. The life total changes for a player only when it comes into play under that player's control. [DeLaney 2000/08/19] If an opponent steals control of Lich and no other effect prevents you from losing with a life total of zero, you will lose the game due to a zero life total as a State-Based Effect before you can take any actions. The last sentence doesn't apply in this case since the Lich didn't leave play. [DeLaney 2000/08/19] If you are at somehow at negative life points when Lich comes into play, it will try to raise your life total to 0 by making you gain enough life to do so. This life gain, however, will be replaced by you drawing that many cards instead. [DeLaney 2001/09/21] Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have always banned this card.

[Aahz 1996/01/16] Necropotence interacts with Madness (see Rule 502.24) so you cannot use the Madness ability. This is because Madness turns "discard to graveyard" into "discard to removed from game" and Necropotence turns any discard into simply "remove from game" with no discard. Madness only works if you remove it from game as part of its ability. [Jordan 2002/03/03] Vintage tournaments (see Rule 801) have restricted this card since 2000/10/01.

[Snark 1994/04/01] If the Incarnation has Creature Bond on it when it dies, the Creature Bond and the Incarnation's abilities both trigger. If the same player controls both, they can choose which order they resolve. If different players control them, then the other player's resolves first, then the current player's. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03] If two Incarnations die at once, you lose half of your life, then half of what is left. [WotC Rules Team 1994/04/01] This is because you play out the two triggered abilities (see Rule 404), one after the other. The owner of the Incarnation loses life when it is destroyed, not the controller. So if you control your opponent's Incarnation you can let it die to make them lose life.

[Jordan 2001/12/14] It is possible to play this ability in response to itself and generate some odd combinations. For example, if you control this card and another creature, you can use this card's ability and target the creature you control. You can then use this card's ability again and target a creature your opponent controls. The second usage resolves first and you get your opponent's creature in exchange for this one. The first usage then resolves and swaps your other creature for the Infiltrator so you get it back. The net effect is that you can swap any creature you have for any of theirs if you can pay this ability twice.

Don't handle this like creatures coming into play one at a time. [bethmo 1999/05/26] If multiple creatures come into play at once, due to Living Death for example, then Portcullis will trigger on all of those creatures. The player controlling Portcullis decides the order to resolve the Portcullis triggers and therefore chooses which two creatures stay in play (assuming that none were already in play... if some were already in play he might not really get a choice). All the others get yanked by the Portcullis. [D'Angelo 1998/06/11] If any creature comes into play which has a "comes into play" ability (see Rule 410.10a), that ability is still applied even if Portcullis removes that creature from play before you resolve the ability. [D'Angelo 1998/06/11] If any creature comes into play which has a "comes into play" ability (see Rule 410.10a), you need to use the timing rules for triggered abilities (see Rule 404) to determine the order to put the triggers on the stack. The rule is that first the current player does all of their triggers in any order they choose, then the other player does all of theirs in any order they choose. [D'Angelo 1999/06/01] The result is that if the current player controls Portcullis, they can do their creatures' "comes into play" abilities before or after Portcullis removes creatures from play, while the other player always resolves their creatures' "comes into play" abilities before Portcullis. If the other player controls Portcullis, the current player always does their creatures' "comes into play" abilities after Portcullis, then the other player can do their creatures' "comes into play" abilities before or after the Portcullis removes creatures from play.
