Abyssal Nocturnus

Whenever an opponent discards a card, Abyssal Nocturnus gets +2/+2 and gains fear until end of turn.

If your opponent discards any cards during their cleanup step to get down to the maximum hand size, the ability will trigger and players will receive priority. 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.

If your opponent discards multiple cards to a single effect, this will trigger multiple times.

Whenever an opponent discards a card, Abyssal Nocturnus gets +2/+2 and gains fear until end of turn. (It can't be blocked except by artifact creatures and/or black creatures.)

Its fickle form holds hints of a thousand former identities.

Aetherplasm

Whenever Ætherplasm blocks a creature, you may return Ætherplasm to its owner's hand. If you do, you may put a creature card from your hand into play blocking that creature.

Aetherplasm will return to your hand before any combat damage is assigned.

If you want, you can return Aetherplasm to your hand and not put anything onto the battlefield. The attacking creature will still be considered blocked, so it won't be able to deal combat damage to you unless it has trample or a similar ability.

The creature you put onto the battlefield from your hand is blocking the attacking creature, even if the block couldn't legally be declared (for example, if that creature enters tapped, or it can't block, or the attacking creature has protection from it).

The creature you put onto the battlefield may be the Aetherplasm you just returned to your hand. This allows it to dodge abilities like Deathgazer's.

Although the creature that enters the battlefield is blocking, it was never declared as a blocking creature for the purposes of abilities that trigger whenever a creature blocks (such as Aetherplasm's ability, for example).

Whenever Aetherplasm blocks a creature, you may return Aetherplasm to its owner's hand. If you do, you may put a creature card from your hand onto the battlefield blocking that creature.

"You say that I am two-faced? Enough with the flattery. We have business to conduct."

Agent of Masks

At the beginning of your upkeep, each opponent loses 1 life. You gain life equal to the life lost this way.

When the creature Benediction of Moons haunts is put into a graveyard, you gain 1 life for each player.

"For each player" means for each player currently in the game, which is normally two. A Two-Headed Giant game has four players. In a Free-for-All multiplayer game, players who have been eliminated or who are outside your range of influence don't count toward the total.

You gain 1 life for each player.

When the creature Benediction of Moons haunts dies, you gain 1 life for each player.

Bioplasm

Whenever Bioplasm attacks, remove the top card of your library from the game. If it's a creature card, Bioplasm gets +X/+Y until end of turn, where X is the removed creature card's power and Y is its toughness. (A * on a card not in play is 0.)

The reminder text printed on Bioplasm is no longer correct. Abilities that define a creature's power (and toughness) apply in every zone. The value of * is defined by such an ability.

Whenever Bioplasm attacks, exile the top card of your library. If it's a creature card, Bioplasm gets +X/+Y until end of turn, where X is the exiled creature card's power and Y is its toughness.

Borborygmos

Trample
Whenever Borborygmos deals combat damage to a player, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control.

Borborygmos's ability won't save your creatures that were dealt lethal damage in combat. Those creatures will be sent to your graveyard before they would get a counter.

Burning-Tree Bloodscale

Bloodthirst 1 (If an opponent was dealt damage this turn, this creature comes into play with a +1/+1 counter on it.)
{2}{R}: Target creature can't block Burning-Tree Bloodscale this turn.
{2}{G}: Target creature blocks Burning-Tree Bloodscale this turn if able.

If both abilities are used on the same creature, it can't block Burning-Tree Bloodscale.

Gruul shamans are bent on punishing the civilized. Any act more complex than rubbing sticks together or eating with utensils is met with the stinging burn of their magic.

Burning-Tree Shaman

Whenever a player plays an activated ability that isn't a mana ability, Burning-Tree Shaman deals 1 damage to that player.

A mana ability is an ability that adds mana, not one that costs mana to activate.

A mana ability is an ability that (1) isn't a loyalty ability, (2) doesn't target, and (3) could add mana when it resolves.

Whenever a player activates an ability that isn't a mana ability, Burning-Tree Shaman deals 1 damage to that player.

Orzhov faithful file past to have their minds purged of "impure" desires. There, the guiltwardens eliminate any thoughts of hope or self-sufficiency.

Conjurer's Ban

Name a card. Until your next turn, the named card can't be played.
Draw a card.

Conjurer's Ban only affects cards. A copy of a card (for example, one created by Eye of the Storm isn't a card, so it can be played.

Players may cast spells while Conjurer's Ban is on the stack. Only after all players pass priority does Conjurer's Ban resolve, and that's when you name a card. Once you name a card, that card can't be played in response.

You may name a land card to prevent it from being played.

This can't be used as a counterspell. It will have no effect on spells which were on the stack when it was cast, nor on those cast in response to it.

Choose a card name. Until your next turn, spells with the chosen name can't be cast and lands with the chosen name can't be played.
Draw a card.

"The other guilds think they're untouchable. It's time we brought them back down to earth."

Crash Landing

Target creature with flying loses flying until end of turn. Crash Landing deals damage to that creature equal to the number of Forests you control.

Crash Landing can't target a creature without flying just to deal damage to it.

Cremation of the dead is not a religious ritual in Ravnica. It's a business designed to keep the Golgari from growing in numbers.

Cremate

Remove target card in a graveyard from the game.
Draw a card.

If the target card is no longer in the graveyard when Cremate tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won't draw a card.

You must be able to target a card in a graveyard to cast Cremate.

Debtors' Knell

At the beginning of your upkeep, put target creature card in a graveyard into play under your control.

At the beginning of your upkeep, put target creature card from a graveyard onto the battlefield under your control.

Djinn Illuminatus

({UR} can be paid with either {U} or {R}.)
Flying
Each instant and sorcery spell you play has replicate. The replicate cost is equal to its mana cost. (When you play it, copy it for each time you paid its replicate cost. You may choose new targets for the copies.)

If you cast a spell that already has replicate while you have this creature on the battlefield, the spell will have two replicate abilities: one with a replicate cost as printed on it, and one with a replicate cost equal to its mana cost. (In this set, both costs are always the same.) You may use either ability, or both abilities, to replicate the spell.

If you cast an instant or sorcery spell that has {X} in its mana cost, the value of X in the spell's replicate cost will be the same as the value of X you chose for its mana cost.

({U/R} can be paid with either {U} or {R}.)

" . . . and you must also apply for an application license, file documents 136(iv) and 22-C and -D in triplicate, pay all requisite fees, request a . . ."

Droning Bureaucrats

{X}, {T}: Each creature with converted mana cost X can't attack or block this turn.

Creature lands and most token creatures have mana value 0. If a creature on the battlefield has {X} in its mana cost, treat X as 0.

Droning Bureaucrats's ability affects all creatures with mana value equal to exactly X, regardless of whether they were on the battlefield at the time the ability resolved. For example, if the ability resolves with an X of 4, then Giant Solifuge is put onto the battlefield, the Solifuge can't attack or block that turn.

If you use Droning Bureaucrats's ability after you have declared attackers but before your opponent declares blockers, the restriction will apply to only your opponent's creatures. Creatures that are already attacking will be unaffected.

{X}, {T}: Each creature with mana value X can't attack or block this turn.

Lurking below the current, she thirsts until others come to drink.

Drowned Rusalka

{U}, Sacrifice a creature: Discard a card, then draw a card.

Unlike many similar cards, Drowned Rusalka's ability causes you to discard a card first and then draw a card. If your hand is empty, you will just draw a card.

From Tin Street to the Outcast Mansions, she walks unbidden and unbound, her graceful silence never shaken by the riot of city life around her.

Dryad Sophisticate

"Nonbasic landwalk" means "This creature can't be blocked as long as defending player controls a nonbasic land." A nonbasic land is any land that lacks the basic supertype, whether or not it has a basic land type (such as Island).

When it awoke, it spawned nameless thousands to herald its arrival.

Dune-Brood Nephilim

Whenever Dune-Brood Nephilim deals combat damage to a player, put a 1/1 colorless Sand creature token into play for each land you control.

Earth Surge

Each land gets +2/+2 as long as it's a creature.

Earth Surge gives the bonus to each permanent that has both the "land" and "creature" types. It doesn't turn lands into creatures.

The Izzet learn something from every lesson they teach.

Electrolyze

Electrolyze deals 2 damage divided as you choose among any number of target creatures and/or players.
Draw a card.

If Electrolyze targets two creatures and one becomes an illegal target, the remaining target is dealt 1 damage, not 2. You'll still draw a card.

If all chosen targets are illegal as Electrolyze tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. No damage will be dealt and you won't draw a card.

You divide the damage as you cast Electrolyze, not as it resolves. Each target must be assigned at least 1 damage. In other words, as you cast Electrolyze, you choose whether to have it deal 2 damage to a single target, or deal 1 damage to each of two targets.

Electrolyze deals 2 damage divided as you choose among one or two targets.
Draw a card.

Exhumer Thrull

Haunt (When this card is put into a graveyard from play, remove it from the game haunting target creature.)

Haunt (When this creature dies, exile it haunting target creature.)
When Exhumer Thrull enters or the creature it haunts dies, return target creature card from your graveyard to your hand.

"The first blow is the most important. It often negates the need for a second."
—Agrus Kos

Fencer's Magemark

Enchant creature
Creatures you control that are enchanted get +1/+1 and have first strike.

Each Magemark gives its bonus to the creature it's attached to, as long as the same player controls both the creature and the Aura.

He chanted over a pot of boiling blood and honey. His brain buzzed like a nest of hornets, and his muscles rippled with the might of the bear.

Feral Animist

{3}: Feral Animist gets +X/+0 until end of turn, where X is its power.

You don't choose the value of X. The bonus Feral Animist gets is based on its power when the ability resolves. For example, if you activate the ability twice, the first ability will give it +2/+0 and the second one will give it +4/+0.

If this creature's power is negative as its ability resolves, X is considered to be 0. (This is a change from previous rulings.)

The chant was interrupted, the components cooked, and Zok worried that it was his brain he smelled smoking.

Frazzle

"Garb is for common folk. I prefer to wear insight and zeal, ambition and flame."

Gatherer of Graces

Gatherer of Graces gets +1/+1 for each Aura attached to it.
Sacrifice an Aura: Regenerate Gatherer of Graces.

If Gatherer of Graces already has damage on it equal to its toughness minus 1, then sacrificing an Aura attached to it results in Gatherer of Graces being put into its owner's graveyard before the ability that would regenerate it resolves.

The Aura you sacrifice doesn't have to be attached to Gatherer of Graces.

"Diametrically opposing energies in self-sealed plasmodermic bubbles make great pets!"

At mealtimes, the Gruul customarily omit such niceties as using forks or killing the entrée.

Ghor-Clan Bloodscale

First strike
{3}{G}: Ghor-Clan Bloodscale gets +2/+2 until end of turn. Play this ability only once each turn.

If this card's ability is activated by one player, then another player takes control of it on the same turn, the second player can't activate its ability that turn.

First strike

The snap of sinew. The crunch of bone. A cry for mercy. These are the music of the Gruul.

Bloodthirst 3 (If an opponent was dealt damage this turn, this creature enters with three +1/+1 counters on it.)

Ghost Council of Orzhova

When Ghost Council of Orzhova comes into play, target opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.
{1}, Sacrifice a creature: Remove Ghost Council of Orzhova from the game. Return it to play under its owner's control at end of turn.

Normally, Ghost Council of Orzhova will return to the battlefield at the end of the same turn it's exiled. But if it's exiled during the End step, it's too late to return it this turn. It has to wait to return to the battlefield until the next End step.

Sacrificing Ghost Council of Orzhova to its own ability means it will wind up in the graveyard, not exiled.

When Ghost Council of Orzhova is exiled, any Auras or Equipment on it fall off and any counters on it are removed. When it returns to the battlefield, it comes back untapped and is treated as a new version of the card.

When Ghost Council of Orzhova enters, target opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.
{1}, Sacrifice a creature: Exile Ghost Council of Orzhova. Return it to the battlefield under its owner's control at the beginning of the next end step.

"I thought of fate as an iron lattice, intricate but rigidly unchangeable. That was until some force bent fate's bars to spare my life."

Ghost Warden

{T}: Target creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn.

"I watched its blade swing through me, but I was hollow, empty. I saw its face contort in rage but could not hear it snarl."
—Klattic, Boros legionnaire

Ghostway

Remove each creature you control from the game. Return those creatures to play under their owners' control at end of turn.

Auras attached to the exiled creatures will be put into their owners' graveyards. Equipment attached to the exiled creatures will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on the exiled creatures will cease to exist.

If a creature token is exiled, it ceases to exist. It won't be returned to the battlefield.

Exile each creature you control. Return those cards to the battlefield under their owner's control at the beginning of the next end step.
