Cataclysm

Each player chooses from the permanents he or she controls an artifact, a creature, an enchantment, and a land and sacrifices the rest.

If you control a permanent with more than one type, you can choose that permanent to be the representative of either type. This makes it possible to have more than one creature (or other permanent type) on the battlefield. For example, if you select a creature for your creature and an artifact creature for your artifact, you get to keep both of these creatures.

If you control a permanent with more than one type, you can choose that same permanent for more than one of the choices if you want to. This makes it possible to select an artifact creature as both your artifact and creature, and then select a land and thereby keep only two cards.

The current player makes their choices before the other player. After both players make choices, all the sacrifices are done simultaneously.

The permanents to save are chosen on resolution. You do not choose them when casting the spell.

Each permanent not chosen by a player will be sacrificed. If a permanent has none of the listed types (for example, a Planeswalker with no other types), it can’t be chosen.

Each player chooses from among the permanents they control an artifact, a creature, an enchantment, and a land, then sacrifices the rest.

Coat of Arms

Each creature gets +1/+1 for each other creature in play of the same creature type. (For example, if there are three Goblins in play, each of them 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.)

Selenia had hurt Mirri terribly, but injuries of the flesh could be treated. The wounds she had torn in Crovax's soul would never close.

Convalescence

During your upkeep, if you have 10 or less life, gain 1 life.

The life total is checked when it triggers and the ability will be put on the stack only if you have 10 life or less. It checks again on resolution and does nothing if you have more life by then.

At the beginning of your upkeep, if you have 10 or less life, you gain 1 life.

Crashing Boars

If Crashing Boars attacks, defending player chooses an untapped creature he or she controls. That creature blocks Crashing Boars this turn if able.

If the chosen creature is not still untapped at the time blockers are declared, it does not have to block.

The ability is not optional. If there are no untapped creatures to choose, then the ability does nothing.

Whenever Crashing Boars attacks, defending player chooses an untapped creature they control. That creature blocks Crashing Boars this turn if able.

You sacrifice a creature when casting the spell and you can’t sacrifice more than one creature to get extra mana.

Players can only respond once this spell has been cast and all its costs have been paid. No one can try to destroy the creature you sacrificed to prevent you from casting this spell.

You must sacrifice exactly one creature to cast this spell; you cannot cast it without sacrificing a creature, and you cannot sacrifice additional creatures.

As an additional cost to cast this spell, sacrifice a creature.

All Mirri wanted to do was rest, but she couldn't ignore a nagging suspicion as she followed Crovax's skulking form.

Curiosity

If enchanted creature damages an opponent, you may draw a card.

"You" refers to the controller of Curiosity, which may be different from the controller of the enchanted creature. "An opponent" refers to an opponent of Curiosity's controller.

Any damage dealt by the enchanted creature to an opponent will cause Curiosity to trigger, not just combat damage.

Curiosity doesn't trigger if the enchanted creature deals damage to a planeswalker or to a battle.

If you control Curiosity and it's enchanting an opponent's creature, you won't draw a card when that creature deals damage to you. The creature has to deal damage to one of your opponents for the ability to trigger.

You draw one card each time the enchanted creature deals damage to an opponent, no matter how much damage it deals.

Enchant creature
Whenever enchanted creature deals damage to an opponent, you may draw a card.

o1o
B, oc
T: Destroy target creature with shadow.

If an attacking creature has multiple evasion abilities, such as shadow and flying, a creature can block it only if that creature satisfies all of the appropriate evasion abilities.

Multiple instances of shadow on the same creature are redundant.

Once a creature has been blocked, that creature remains blocked and will deal and be dealt combat damage even if it gains or loses shadow or if the blocking creature gains or loses shadow.

Dominating Licid

Uo
U, oc
T: Dominating Licid loses this ability and becomes a creature enchantment that reads "Gain control of enchanted creature" instead of any other type of permanent. Move Dominating Licid onto target creature. You may pay o
U to end this effect.

It becomes an Enchantment - Aura and stops being all other permanent types.

If a spell that can target enchantments but not creatures (such as Clear) is cast targeting the Licid after it has become an enchantment, but the Licid’s controller pays the cost, the Licid will no longer be an enchantment. This will result in the spell failing to resolve for having no legal targets.

Paying the cost to end the effect is a special action and can’t be responded to.

{1}{U}{U}, {T}: Dominating Licid loses this ability and becomes an Aura enchantment with enchant creature. Attach it to target creature. You may pay {U} to end this effect.

Equilibrium

Whenever you successfully cast a creature spell, you may pay o1 to return target creature to owner's hand.

A “creature spell” is any spell with the type Creature, even if it has other types such as Artifact or Enchantment. Older cards of type Summon are also Creature spells.

The ability is put on the stack immediately after you cast a creature spell, which means the creature that spell will become won’t be a legal target.

The ability will still resolve even if the spell that triggered it gets countered.

Whenever you cast a creature spell, you may pay {1}. If you do, return target creature to its owner's hand.

"In Barrin's name!" cried Lyna as Hanna's sword passed through her, "Ertai sends word that the portal is open—but not for long!"

"Consider the fable of the greedy herder. As her flock grew, so did her weariness; she slept, and the sheep wandered off."

Fade Away

For each creature, that creature's controller pays o1 or sacrifices a permanent.

At the beginning of the resolution, each player counts up the number of creatures they control, then they make the required number of payments and/or sacrifices. The active player announces their choices first followed by the other players, but all the sacrifices are done at the same time. Because of this, you can’t sacrifice one creature in order to pay for another and thereby avoid payment for the first.

You can activate mana abilities during the resolution if you decide to pay mana.

You can choose to pay some mana and sacrifice some permanents if you have more than one creature.

For each creature, its controller sacrifices a permanent unless they pay {1}.

Fighting Chance
