As a young student, she dusted the shelves of Tolaria's great library. Now, she writes the books that line them.

Academy Loremaster

bilities that reduce the cost to cast a spell apply after abilities that raise them. For example, if an opponent chose to draw an additional card as Academy Loremaster's triggered ability resolved, Argivian Phalanx (a card with mana cost {5}{W} and the ability "This spell costs {1} less to cast for each creature you control.") will cost them {W} to cast that turn if they have seven or more creatures.

he cost increase applies to spells that player casts even if they're casting them for an alternative cost. If they cast a spell without paying its mana cost, they'll still have to pay {2}.

At the beginning of each player's draw step, that player may draw an additional card. If they do, spells they cast this turn cost {2} more to cast.

Left barren by the Brothers' War, it stands as a stark reminder of Dominaria's likely fate should the Coalition fail.

Adarkar Wastes

{T}: Add {C}.
{T}: Add {W} or {U}. Adarkar Wastes deals 1 damage to you.

Aether Channeler

When Aether Channeler enters the battlefield, choose one —
• Create a 1/1 white Bird creature token with flying.
• Return another target nonland permanent to its owner's hand.
• Draw a card.

Ajani, Sleeper Agent

A hybrid Phyrexian mana symbol is counted the same way as a normal mana symbol when determining the mana value of a card. Specifically, Ajani’s mana value is always 4, even if you pay {1}{G}{W} and 2 life to cast him.

Compleated is a replacement effect, and it applies only to a permanent that is entering the battlefield with loyalty counters. Any other replacement effect that would apply to the number of loyalty counters it enters the battlefield with will apply as normal.

Phyrexian is not a color nor a type of mana, and players cannot add Phyrexian mana. It’s just a symbol that gives you another way to pay for a spell or ability.

The compleated ability looks only at whether a player chose to pay 2 life for a Phyrexian mana symbol as they were casting the spell. If a player paid life for some other reason while casting the spell, that will not reduce the number of loyalty counters the planeswalker enters the battlefield with.

Compleated ({G/W/P} can be paid with {G}, {W}, or 2 life. If life was paid, this planeswalker enters with two fewer loyalty counters.)
[+1]: Reveal the top card of your library. If it's a creature or planeswalker card, put it into your hand. Otherwise, you may put it on the bottom of your library.
[−3]: Distribute three +1/+1 counters among up to three target creatures. They gain vigilance until end of turn.
[−6]: You get an emblem with "Whenever you cast a creature or planeswalker spell, target opponent gets two poison counters."

Anointed Peacekeeper

Activated abilities contain a colon. They’re generally written “[Cost]: [Effect].” Some keyword abilities (such as equip) are activated abilities and will have colons in their reminder text. Triggered abilities (starting with “when,” “whenever,” or “at”) are unaffected by the last ability of Anointed Peacekeeper.

An activated mana ability is one that produces mana as it resolves, not one that costs mana to activate.

Anointed Peacekeeper’s last ability affects cards regardless of what zone they’re in. This includes cards in hands, cards in the graveyards, and exiled cards.

Anointed Peacekeeper’s third ability applies to all opponents, not just the opponent whose hand you looked at.

You can choose any card name, even if that card doesn’t normally have an activated ability. You’re not limited to the names of cards you saw in the opponent’s hand.

You can’t choose the name of a token unless that token has the same name as a card.

Vigilance
As Anointed Peacekeeper enters the battlefield, look at an opponent's hand, then choose any card name.
Spells your opponents cast with the chosen name cost {2} more to cast.
Activated abilities of sources with the chosen name cost {2} more to activate unless they're mana abilities.

Archangel of Wrath

If it was kicked twice, each of Archangel of Wrath’s last two abilities will trigger once. In other words, it will deal 2 damage to each of two targets or deal 2 damage to the same target twice.

You may kick Archangel of Wrath only once for its {B} cost and only once for its {R} cost. You can kick it twice by paying {B}{R}, but you can’t kick it twice by paying {B}{B} or {R}{R}. You can’t kick it more than twice.

Kicker {B} and/or {R} (You may pay an additional {B} and/or {R} as you cast this spell.)
Flying, lifelink
When Archangel of Wrath enters the battlefield, if it was kicked, it deals 2 damage to any target.
When Archangel of Wrath enters the battlefield, if it was kicked twice, it deals 2 damage to any target.

Astor, Bearer of Blades

Once either the equip {1} or crew 1 ability is activated, causing Astor, Bearer of Blades to leave the battlefield won’t stop the ability from resolving.

You may still activate any other equip or crew abilities that permanent has if you wish.

When Astor, Bearer of Blades enters the battlefield, look at the top seven cards of your library. You may reveal an Equipment or Vehicle card from among them and put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.
Equipment you control have equip {1}.
Vehicles you control have crew 1.

Braids, Arisen Nightmare

If the permanent that you sacrifice as you resolve Braids’s triggered ability has more than one card type, each opponent may choose to sacrifice any permanent they control that shares any card type with it. For example, if the permanent you sacrifice is an artifact creature, one opponent might choose to sacrifice an artifact and another opponent might choose to sacrifice a creature.

At the beginning of your end step, you may sacrifice an artifact, creature, enchantment, land, or planeswalker. If you do, each opponent may sacrifice a permanent that shares a card type with it. For each opponent who doesn't, that player loses 2 life and you draw a card.

After years of silence, the caves once again echo with the grisly sounds of Phyrexians preparing for war.

Caves of Koilos

Like most lands, each land in this cycle is colorless. The damage dealt to you is dealt by a colorless source.

The damage dealt to you is part of the second mana ability. It doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to.

{T}: Add {C}.
{T}: Add {W} or {B}. Caves of Koilos deals 1 damage to you.

Chaotic Transformation

If a player controls multiple permanents that were exiled this way, that player first chooses which target they’re considering, then they reveal cards until they reveal a card that shares a type with that permanent as it last existed on the battlefield, then they put that card onto the battlefield and shuffle. They then repeat this process for the remaining targets they controlled.

The target permanents are exiled all at the same time.

Exile up to one target artifact, up to one target creature, up to one target enchantment, up to one target planeswalker, and/or up to one target land. For each permanent exiled this way, its controller reveals cards from the top of their library until they reveal a card that shares a card type with it, puts that card onto the battlefield, then shuffles.

Danitha, Benalia's Hope

Conversely, if you attempt to put a non-Aura Equipment onto the battlefield this way and Danitha is no longer on the battlefield or that Equipment can’t legally be attached to Danitha, that Equipment will enter the battlefield unattached.

If you attempt to put an Aura onto the battlefield this way and Danitha is no longer on the battlefield or that Aura can’t legally be attached to Danitha, that Aura does not enter the battlefield at all. Instead, it will stay in its previous zone.

First strike, vigilance, lifelink
When Danitha, Benalia's Hope enters the battlefield, you may put an Aura or Equipment card from your hand or graveyard onto the battlefield attached to Danitha.

Defiler of Dreams

Some players may make the mental shortcut that the Defilers effectively turn one of the colored mana symbols in the spell’s cost into a Phyrexian colored mana symbol. Despite the similarity in function, this ability does not cause the spells to have Phyrexian mana symbols in their costs. Sorry, Rage Extractor!

You may only pay the additional cost once per permanent spell.

Flying
As an additional cost to cast blue permanent spells, you may pay 2 life. Those spells cost {U} less to cast if you paid life this way. This effect reduces only the amount of blue mana you pay.
Whenever you cast a blue permanent spell, draw a card.

Defiler of Faith

Vigilance
As an additional cost to cast white permanent spells, you may pay 2 life. Those spells cost {W} less to cast if you paid life this way. This effect reduces only the amount of white mana you pay.
Whenever you cast a white permanent spell, create a 1/1 white Soldier creature token.

Defiler of Flesh

Menace
As an additional cost to cast black permanent spells, you may pay 2 life. Those spells cost {B} less to cast if you paid life this way. This effect reduces only the amount of black mana you pay.
Whenever you cast a black permanent spell, target creature you control gets +1/+1 and gains menace until end of turn.

Defiler of Instinct

First strike
As an additional cost to cast red permanent spells, you may pay 2 life. Those spells cost {R} less to cast if you paid life this way. This effect reduces only the amount of red mana you pay.
Whenever you cast a red permanent spell, Defiler of Instinct deals 1 damage to any target.

Defiler of Vigor

Trample
As an additional cost to cast green permanent spells, you may pay 2 life. Those spells cost {G} less to cast if you paid life this way. This effect reduces only the amount of green mana you pay.
Whenever you cast a green permanent spell, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control.

Windgrace's gladehunters hibernate in the quagmires of Urborg until the scent of Phyrexian technology awakens their hunger.

Drag to the Bottom

Domain abilities count the number of basic land types among lands you control, not how many lands you control or how many of any type.

The basic land types are Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest. Land types other than basic land types (such as Desert) don’t contribute to domain abilities.

Domain — Each creature gets -X/-X until end of turn, where X is 1 plus the number of basic land types among lands you control.

Ertai Resurrected

Abilities that create replacement effects, such as a permanent entering the battlefield tapped or with counters on it, can’t be targeted. Abilities that apply “as [this creature] enters the battlefield” are also replacement effects and can’t be targeted. Similarly, the replacement effect that prevents a creature with a stun counter on it from untapping can’t be countered.

Activated abilities are written in the form “Cost: Effect.” Some keyword abilities, such as equip and crew, are activated abilities and will have colons in their reminder texts.

If you counter a delayed triggered ability that triggers at the beginning of the “next” occurrence of a specified step or phase, that ability won’t trigger again the following time that phase or step occurs.

Triggered abilities use the word “when,” “whenever,” or “at.” They’re often written as “[Trigger condition], [effect].” Some keyword abilities, such as prowess and fabricate, are triggered abilities and will have “when,” “whenever,” or “at” in their reminder text.

Flash
When Ertai Resurrected enters the battlefield, choose up to one —
• Counter target spell, activated ability, or triggered ability. Its controller draws a card.
• Destroy another target creature or planeswalker. Its controller draws a card.

Evolved Sleeper

Evolved Sleeper’s first two abilities overwrite its power, toughness, and creature types. Typically, those abilities are activated in the order they appear on the card. However, if Evolved Sleeper is a 3/3 Phyrexian Human Cleric and you activate its first ability again, it will become a 2/2 Human Cleric as that ability resolves.

Evolved Sleeper’s second ability checks whether it’s a Cleric, and its third ability checks whether it’s a Phyrexian. It doesn’t matter how it became the appropriate creature type.

None of these abilities has a duration. If one of them resolves, it will remain in effect until the game ends, Evolved Sleeper leaves the battlefield, or some subsequent effect changes its characteristics, whichever comes first.

The effects from the first and second abilities overwrite other effects that set power and/or toughness if and only if those effects existed before the ability resolved. It will not overwrite effects that modify power or toughness without setting it (whether from a static ability, counters, or a resolved spell or ability), nor will it overwrite effects that set power and toughness which come into existence after the ability resolves. Effects that switch the creature’s power and toughness are always applied after any other power or toughness changing effects, including this one, regardless of the order in which they are created.

You can activate Evolved Sleeper’s second and third abilities regardless of what creature types it is. Each of those abilities checks Evolved Sleeper’s creature types when that ability resolves. If Evolved Sleeper isn’t the appropriate creature type at that time, the ability does nothing.

{B}: Evolved Sleeper becomes a Human Cleric with base power and toughness 2/2.
{1}{B}: If Evolved Sleeper is a Cleric, put a deathtouch counter on it and it becomes a Phyrexian Human Cleric with base power and toughness 3/3.
{1}{B}{B}: If Evolved Sleeper is a Phyrexian, put a +1/+1 counter on it, then you draw a card and you lose 1 life.

Golden Argosy

Golden Argosy’s triggered ability will only exile creatures that are still on the battlefield as it resolves, and any creatures that crewed it this turn that had already left the battlefield will not be returned.

The exiled creatures will be returned at the beginning of the next end step even if Golden Argosy is no longer on the battlefield at that time.

Whenever Golden Argosy attacks, exile each creature that crewed it this turn. Return them to the battlefield tapped under their owner's control at the beginning of the next end step.
Crew 1 (Tap any number of creatures you control with total power 1 or more: This Vehicle becomes an artifact creature until end of turn.)

Guardian of New Benalia

Guardian of New Benalia’s second ability triggers whenever its controller taps another creature for Guardian of New Benalia’s enlist ability.

The attacking player chooses whether to tap a creature for an enlist ability immediately after they tap the creatures that they have chosen to attack with. You can’t choose to enlist a creature later.

To enlist a creature, that creature must be untapped, it must not be attacking (even if it has vigilance), and it must have haste or have been under that attacking player’s control since the beginning of their current turn.

When a player taps a creature for an attacking creature’s enlist ability, that attacking creature gets +X/+0 until end of turn, where X is the tapped creature’s power. This is a triggered ability that goes on the stack immediately after attackers have been declared in the declare attackers step.

You may activate Guardian of New Benalia’s last ability even if it’s already tapped. You may also activate that ability multiple times in the same turn, even if Guardian of New Benalia already has indestructible.

You may tap only one creature for an enlist ability of an attacking creature, and a single creature can’t be tapped for more than one enlist ability.

Enlist (As this creature attacks, you may tap a nonattacking creature you control without summoning sickness. When you do, add its power to this creature's until end of turn.)
Whenever Guardian of New Benalia enlists a creature, scry 2.
Discard a card: Guardian of New Benalia gains indestructible until end of turn. Tap it.

"I adore your outfit. It's so . . . rustic."

Haughty Djinn

A split card in your graveyard only counts once for Haughty Djinn's power, even if it's both an instant and a sorcery.

The ability that defines Haughty Djinn's power functions in all zones.

Flying
Haughty Djinn's power is equal to the number of instant and sorcery cards in your graveyard.
Instant and sorcery spells you cast cost {1} less to cast.

Herd Migration

Domain — Create a 3/3 green Beast creature token for each basic land type among lands you control.
{1}{G}, Discard Herd Migration: Search your library for a basic land card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle. You gain 3 life.

Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief

If Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief isn’t a legal target for the spell, no copy can be created.

If a spell has multiple targets but all of them are the same creature, Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief’s second ability will trigger.

If the spell that’s copied has an X whose value was determined as it was cast, the copy has the same value of X.

If the spell that’s copied is modal (that is, it says “Choose one —” or the like), the copy will have the same mode. You can’t choose a different one.

The controller of a copy can’t choose to pay any additional costs for the copy. However, effects based on any additional costs that were paid for the original spell are copied as though those same costs were paid for the copy too. Notably, if the spell you copy was kicked, the copies will also be kicked.

The copy is created even if the spell that caused the ability to trigger has been countered by the time the ability resolves. The copy resolves before the original spell.

The copy that Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief’s second ability creates is created on the stack, so it’s not “cast.” Other abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell won’t trigger.

The second ability triggers whenever a player casts a spell that targets only one creature and no other object or player. It doesn’t matter who controls the creature.

Flying
Whenever a player casts a spell that targets only a single creature other than Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief, you may copy that spell. The copy targets Ivy. (A copy of an Aura spell becomes a token.)

Jaya, Fiery Negotiator

Activating Jaya’s third loyalty ability creates a delayed triggered ability that will trigger each time you declare attackers this turn (usually, this will only happen once). This ability will trigger even if Jaya is no longer on the battlefield. If anything needs information about the source of that damage, use Jaya’s characteristics as she last existed on the battlefield.

Copies are created even if the spell that caused the ability to trigger has been countered by the time that ability resolves. The copies resolve before the original spell.

If the spell that’s copied is modal (that is, it says “Choose one —” or the like), the copies will have the same mode or modes. You can’t choose different ones.

The copies are created on the stack, so they’re not “cast.” Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell won’t trigger.

The copies will have the same targets as the spell it’s copying unless you choose new ones. You may change any number of the targets, including all of them or none of them. The new targets must be legal.

The triggered ability of Jaya’s emblem will copy any red instant or sorcery spell you cast, not just one with targets.

You can’t choose to pay any additional costs for the copies. However, effects based on any additional costs that were paid for the original spell are copied as though those same costs were paid for the copies too. Notably, if the spell you copy was kicked, the copies will also be kicked.

You must pay all costs and follow all normal timing rules to play a card chosen for Jaya’s second loyalty ability. For example, if you choose a land card, you may only play it during one of your main phases while the stack is empty, and only if you haven’t yet played a land in the same turn.

[+1]: Create a 1/1 red Monk creature token with prowess.
[−1]: Exile the top two cards of your library. Choose one of them. You may play that card this turn.
[−2]: Choose target creature an opponent controls. Whenever you attack this turn, Jaya, Fiery Negotiator deals damage equal to the number of attacking creatures to that creature.
[−8]: You get an emblem with "Whenever you cast a red instant or sorcery spell, copy it twice. You may choose new targets for the copies."

Jhoira, Ageless Innovator

If Jhoira, Ageless Innovator isn’t on the battlefield as the activated ability resolves, you won’t be able to put any ingenuity counters on it. However, you can still put an artifact card from your hand onto the battlefield. Use the number of ingenuity counters that were on Jhoira before it left the battlefield to determine the value of X.

{T}: Put two ingenuity counters on Jhoira, Ageless Innovator, then you may put an artifact card with mana value X or less from your hand onto the battlefield, where X is the number of ingenuity counters on Jhoira.

Jodah, the Unifier

Both Jodah, the Unifier’s triggered ability and the spell cast with that ability resolve before the spell that caused the ability to trigger, even if the original spell was countered in response.

If the card has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.

If the legendary nonland card exiled this way is a modal double-faced card, and the back face is also a nonland card face, you may cast either face, even if the back face isn’t legendary.

If you cast a spell “without paying its mana cost,” you can’t choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those to cast the spell.

If you choose not to cast the card, it remains in exile. The rest of the cards will be put on the bottom of your library in a random order.

If you exile your entire library without exiling a legendary nonland card with lesser mana value, you will randomize the exiled cards and they again become your library, ending the effect. You will not continue to exile and shuffle your library forever.

The legendary nonland card exiled may be cast immediately. If you do not cast it immediately, you don’t get to cast it at a later time.

The mana value of the spell that caused the ability to trigger is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was. If that spell had an {X} in its cost, include the chosen value for X when determining its mana value.

The types and mana value of a double-faced card in exile are determined by the characteristics of its front face. The mana value of a split card is the total mana value of both halves of the split card added together.

You exile the cards face up. All players will be able to see them.

Legendary creatures you control get +X/+X, where X is the number of legendary creatures you control.
Whenever you cast a legendary spell from your hand, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a legendary nonland card with lesser mana value. You may cast that card without paying its mana cost. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.

Karn's Sylex

Activated abilities contain a colon. They’re generally written “[Cost]: [Effect].” Some keyword abilities are activated abilities (such as cycling) and will have colons in their reminder text.

If a spell or an activated ability that isn’t a mana ability has a cost that requires a player to pay life, that spell or ability can’t be cast or activated.

Other things may still cause players to pay life, such as a resolving spell or ability.

Players may always pay 0 life, even if an effect says they can’t pay life.

Karn's Sylex enters the battlefield tapped.
Players can't pay life to cast spells or to activate abilities that aren't mana abilities.
{X}, {T}, Exile Karn's Sylex: Destroy each nonland permanent with mana value X or less. Activate only as a sorcery.

Karn, Living Legacy

Although all the cards in the Dominaria United set that create Powerstone tokens create a tapped Powerstone token, entering the battlefield tapped isn’t part of the token’s definition. Notably, if you create a token that is a copy of a Powerstone token, the token copy won’t enter the battlefield tapped.

For Karn’s second loyalty ability, you don’t choose how much mana to pay until the ability resolves. Once the ability begins to resolve and you have paid, no player may respond until you have finished all the steps of that ability.

If you don’t pay any mana, you won’t look at any cards or put any into your hand.

If you look at one or more cards this way, you must put a card into your hand. You can’t choose not to put one into your hand.

Karn’s emblem has an activated ability that allows you to tap untapped artifacts to pay its cost. Notably, you may tap artifact creatures that entered the battlefield this turn to pay this cost, even if they don’t have haste.

Powerstone tokens are a new kind of predefined token. Each one has the artifact subtype “Powerstone” and the ability “{T}: Add {C}. This mana can’t be spent to cast a nonartifact spell.”

You can use the {C} added by a Powerstone token on anything that isn’t a nonartifact spell. This includes paying costs to activate abilities of both artifact and nonartifact permanents, paying ward costs, and so on.

[+1]: Create a tapped Powerstone token. (It's an artifact with "{T}: Add {C}. This mana can't be spent to cast a nonartifact spell.")
[−1]: Pay any amount of mana. Look at that many cards from the top of your library, then put one of those cards into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.
[−7]: You get an emblem with "Tap an untapped artifact you control: This emblem deals 1 damage to any target."

Between jagged, snowcapped peaks, the dense bands of hardy evergreens provide the perfect cover for roving bands of orc and goblin raiders.

Karplusan Forest

{T}: Add {C}.
{T}: Add {R} or {G}. Karplusan Forest deals 1 damage to you.

Keldon Flamesage

If Keldon Flamesage leaves the battlefield in response to its triggered ability, use its power as it last existed on the battlefield to determine the value of X.

If you cast a spell “without paying its mana cost,” you can’t choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as a kicker cost. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those to cast the spell.

Enlist
Whenever Keldon Flamesage attacks, look at the top X cards of your library, where X is Keldon Flamesage's power. You may exile an instant or sorcery card with mana value X or less from among them. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. You may cast the exiled card without paying its mana cost.

King Darien XLVIII

If King Darien XLVIII leaves the battlefield, other creatures you control immediately lose the +1/+1 bonus. Notably, this means that if you activate its last ability after a creature has already been dealt damage, it might die due to having lethal damage before the ability resolves and gives it indestructible.

In most cases where the value of X isn’t defined in the text of a card, its controller chooses the value of X. However, the X in King Darien’s name is always 10.

Other creatures you control get +1/+1.
{3}{G}{W}: Put a +1/+1 counter on King Darien and create a 1/1 white Soldier creature token.
Sacrifice King Darien: Creature tokens you control gain hexproof and indestructible until end of turn.

"The seedling you save today may be the sheltering boughs of generations to come."

Leaf-Crowned Visionary

Leaf-Crowned Visionary’s ability triggers when you cast an Elf spell, and it resolves before that spell resolves. You may pay {G} to draw a card even if the spell was countered or Leaf-Crowned Visionary was removed from the battlefield in response.

Other Elves you control get +1/+1.
Whenever you cast an Elf spell, you may pay {G}. If you do, draw a card.

Leyline Binding

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

If Leyline Binding leaves the battlefield before its enters-the-battlefield ability resolves, the target permanent won’t be exiled.

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

In a multiplayer game, if Leyline Binding’s owner leaves the game, the exiled card will return to the battlefield. Because the one-shot effect that returns the card isn’t an ability that goes on the stack, it won’t cease to exist along with the leaving player’s spells and abilities on the stack.

Leyline Binding’s last ability is a single ability that creates two one-shot effects: one that exiles the permanent when the ability resolves, and another that returns the exiled card to the battlefield immediately after Leyline Binding leaves the battlefield.

Flash
Domain — This spell costs {1} less to cast for each basic land type among lands you control.
When Leyline Binding enters the battlefield, exile target nonland permanent an opponent controls until Leyline Binding leaves the battlefield.

Liliana of the Veil

A pile can be empty. If the player chooses an empty pile, no permanents will be sacrificed.

When Liliana’s first ability resolves, first the player whose turn it is chooses a card in hand without revealing it, then each other player in turn order does the same. Then all the chosen cards are discarded at the same time.

When Liliana’s third ability resolves, you put each permanent the player controls into one of the two piles. For example, you could put a creature into one pile and an Aura enchanting that creature into the other pile.

You can activate Liliana’s first ability even if some or all players will be unable to discard a card.

[+1]: Each player discards a card.
[−2]: Target player sacrifices a creature.
[−6]: Separate all permanents target player controls into two piles. That player sacrifices all permanents in the pile of their choice.

Llanowar Greenwidow

Reach, trample
Domain — {7}{G}: Return Llanowar Greenwidow from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped. It gains "If this permanent would leave the battlefield, exile it instead of putting it anywhere else." This ability costs {1} less to activate for each basic land type among lands you control.

Twigs broken underfoot in Llanowar tend to return the favor.

Llanowar Loamspeaker

Llanowar Loamspeaker’s second ability doesn’t untap the land that becomes a creature.

{T}: Add one mana of any color.
{T}: Target land you control becomes a 3/3 Elemental creature with haste until end of turn. It's still a land. Activate only as a sorcery.

"Why fear artifice? Is it not also of this world?"

Meria, Scholar of Antiquity

You may tap any untapped nontoken artifact to activate Meria’s abilities, including artifact creatures that entered the battlefield this turn, even if they don’t have haste.

You must pay all costs and follow all timing restrictions for cards you play with Meria’s last ability. For example, you may only play a land card this way during a main phase of your own turn, and only if you haven’t yet played a land this turn.

Tap an untapped nontoken artifact you control: Add {G}.
Tap two untapped nontoken artifacts you control: Exile the top card of your library. You may play it this turn.

Nemata, Primeval Warden

If a creature an opponent controls would die, and both Nemata and another effect are trying to exile it instead, that opponent chooses which effect to apply. If Nemata’s effect ends up not applying because of this choice, the triggered ability that creates a Saproling token won’t trigger, even if the creature card ends up in exile.

Reach
If a creature an opponent controls would die, exile it instead. When you do, create a 1/1 green Saproling creature token.
{G}, Sacrifice a Saproling: Nemata, Primeval Warden gets +2/+2 until end of turn.
{1}{B}, Sacrifice two Saprolings: Draw a card.

Plaza of Heroes

{T}: Add {C}.
{T}: Add one mana of any color. Spend this mana only to cast a legendary spell.
{T}: Add one mana of any color among legendary permanents you control.
{3}, {T}, Exile Plaza of Heroes: Target legendary creature gains hexproof and indestructible until end of turn.

Quirion Beastcaller

If some of the creatures are illegal targets as the second triggered ability tries to resolve, the original distribution of counters still applies and the counters that would have been put on illegal targets are lost.

You choose the targets and announce how the +1/+1 counters will be distributed as you put Quirion Beaastcaller’s second ability on the stack. Each target must receive at least one +1/+1 counter.

Whenever you cast a creature spell, put a +1/+1 counter on Quirion Beastcaller.
When Quirion Beastcaller dies, distribute X +1/+1 counters among any number of target creatures you control, where X is the number of +1/+1 counters on Quirion Beastcaller.

Radha's Firebrand

Increasing the target creature’s power in response to Radha’s Firebrand’s first ability can cause it to be an illegal target for the ability. However, once the ability has resolved, it won’t be able to block even if its power becomes greater than Radha’s Firebrand’s power.

Whenever Radha's Firebrand attacks, target creature defending player controls with power less than Radha's Firebrand's power can't block this turn.
Domain — {5}{R}: Radha's Firebrand gets +2/+2 until end of turn. This ability costs {1} less to activate for each basic land type among lands you control. Activate only once each turn.

Ratadrabik of Urborg

Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any “as [this creature] enters the battlefield” or “[this creature] enters the battlefield with” abilities of the chosen creature will also work.

Except for power and toughness, the token copies only what was printed on the original creature (unless that creature is copying something else; see below) and adds the color black and the creature type Zombie. It doesn’t copy whether that creature was tapped or untapped, whether it had any counters on it or Auras or Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that had changed its power, toughness, types, color, or so on.

Vigilance, ward {2}
Other Zombies you control have vigilance.
Whenever another legendary creature you control dies, create a token that's a copy of that creature, except it's not legendary and it's a 2/2 black Zombie in addition to its other colors and types.
