Battle of Wits

At the beginning of your upkeep, if you have 200 or more cards in your library, you win the game.

Battle of Wits has an “intervening ‘if’ clause.” This means that if you don’t have 200 or more cards in your library at the beginning of your upkeep, the ability won’t trigger. If the ability does trigger, but you have fewer than 200 cards in your library when the ability resolves, the ability will do nothing.

In tournaments, you must be able to shuffle your entire deck within a reasonable amount of time.

Blinking Spirit

{0}: Return Blinking Spirit to its owner's hand.

Heavy light flooded across the landscape, cloaking everything in deep crimson.

Blood Moon

If a nonbasic land has an ability that causes it to enter the battlefield tapped, it will lose that ability before it can apply. The same is also true of any other abilities that modify how a land enters the battlefield or apply "as" a land enters the battlefield, such as the first ability of Cavern of Souls.

If a nonbasic land has an ability that triggers "when" it enters the battlefield, it will lose that ability before it can trigger.

Nonbasic lands will lose any other land types and abilities they had. They will gain the land type Mountain and gain the ability "{T}: Add {R}."

This effect doesn't affect names or supertypes. It won't turn any land into a basic land or remove the legendary supertype from a legendary land, and the lands won't be named "Mountain."

It took all its strength to contain the fire within.

Bog Wraith

Boiling Seas

Booby Trap

As Booby Trap comes into play, name a card other than a basic land card and choose an opponent.
The chosen player reveals each card he or she draws.
When the chosen player draws the named card, sacrifice Booby Trap. If you do, Booby Trap deals 10 damage to that player.

The “if you do” part is only done if you successfully sacrifice this card. In other words, it has to be on the battlefield when the trigger resolves or it does not deal damage.

If Booby Trap’s last ability is countered, Booby Trap remains on the battlefield (and no damage is dealt).

If a single Booby Trap’s ability triggers multiple times, then only the first ability to resolve causes Booby Trap to be sacrificed and damage to be dealt.

If an effect causes the player to draw multiple cards, each card is revealed as it’s drawn. If Booby Trap’s ability triggers, it will go on the stack once the card-drawing effect has concluded.

The choice of which card to name is part of the resolution of the spell or ability which puts Booby Trap onto the battlefield. It can’t be countered.

As Booby Trap enters, choose an opponent and a card name other than a basic land card name.
The chosen player reveals each card they draw.
When the chosen player draws a card with the chosen name, sacrifice Booby Trap. If you do, Booby Trap deals 10 damage to that player.

—Mystic elder

Chastise

Destroy target attacking creature. You gain life equal to its power.

Circle of Protection: Black

{1}: The next time a black source of your choice would deal damage to you this turn, prevent that damage.

A source of damage is a permanent, a spell on the stack (including one that creates a permanent), or any object referred to by an object on the stack. A source doesn’t need to be capable of dealing damage to be a legal choice.

Can be used even when there is no damage to prevent. It prevents the next damage (if any) from the source this turn.

Circle of Protection: Red

{1}: The next time a red source of your choice would deal damage to you this turn, prevent that damage.

Clone

As Clone comes into play, you may choose a creature in play. If you do, Clone comes into play as a copy of that creature.

Any "enters" abilities of the copied creature will trigger when Clone enters the battlefield. Any "as [this creature] enters" or "[this creature] enters with" abilities of the chosen creature will also work.

If the chosen creature is a token, Clone copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that put it onto the battlefield. Clone is not a token.

If the chosen creature is copying something else (for example, if the chosen creature is another Clone), then your Clone enters as whatever the chosen creature copied.

If the chosen creature has {X} in its mana cost (such as Protean Hydra), X is considered to be zero.

Clone copies exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing more (unless that creature is copying something else or is a token; see below). It doesn't copy whether that creature is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, or so on.

If Clone somehow enters at the same time as another creature, Clone can't become a copy of that creature. You may choose only a creature that's already on the battlefield.

You can choose not to copy anything. In that case, Clone enters as a 0/0 Shapeshifter creature, and is probably put into the graveyard immediately.

Clone's ability doesn't target the chosen creature.

You may have Clone enter as a copy of any creature on the battlefield.

"Hup, two, three, four,
Dunno how to count no more."

Coat of Arms

Each creature gets +1/+1 for each other creature in play that shares a creature type with it. (For example, if a Goblin Warrior, a Goblin Scout, and a Zombie Goblin are in play, each gets +2/+2.)

If a creature has more than one creature type, and one of those types matches the creature you are calculating for, then count that creature. Only one type needs to match in order to get counted.

If you have a creature with more than one creature type, count all creatures which have either creature type.

Sharing multiple creature types doesn't give an additional bonus. Coat of Arms counts creatures, not creature types.

Each creature gets +1/+1 for each other creature on the battlefield that shares at least one creature type with it. (For example, if two Goblin Warriors and a Goblin Shaman are on the battlefield, each gets +2/+2.)

"Of all I that I have lost, I miss my mind the most."

Target opponent reveals their hand. You choose a card from it. That player discards that card.

Gaining control of an Aura or Equipment doesn't change what it's attached to.

Enchant permanent
You control enchanted permanent.

"Your blood, your marrow, your spirit—all are mine."
—Mayvar, minion of Geth

Consume Spirit

Spend only black mana on X.
Consume Spirit deals X damage to target creature or player. You gain X life.

If the targeted permanent or player is an illegal target by the time Consume Spirit would resolve, the entire spell doesn’t resolve. You won’t gain any life.

The amount of life you gain is equal to the number chosen for X, not the amount of damage Consume Spirit deals (in case some of it is prevented).

Spend only black mana on X.
Consume Spirit deals X damage to any target and you gain X life.

Contaminated Bond

Enchant creature (Target a creature as you play this. This card comes into play attached to that creature.)
