Abstruse Appropriation

A card with devoid is just colorless. It's not colorless and the colors of mana in its mana cost.

Abstruse Appropriation doesn't change when you can cast the exiled card. For example, if you exile a creature card without flash, you can cast it only during your main phase when the stack is empty.

Devoid doesn't affect the color identity of the card for the purposes of the Commander variant. For example, while Abstruse Appropriation is colorless because it has devoid, its color identity is still white and black, and it can't be included in a Commander deck where the commander's color identity doesn't include both white and black.

Devoid works in all zones, not just on the battlefield.

If a card loses devoid, it will still be colorless. This is because effects that change an object's color (like the one created by devoid) are considered before the object loses devoid.

If a token is exiled this way, it will cease to exist and won't return to the battlefield. You can't cast it.

In a multiplayer game, if a player leaves the game, all cards that player owns leave as well. If you leave the game, any spells or permanents you control from Abstruse Appropriation's effect are exiled, and any cards still exiled by it remain exiled.

In the rare case where the exiled card is a land card (probably because that land became a copy of a permanent while it was still on the battlefield), you won't be able to play it from exile.

Other cards and abilities can give a card with devoid a color. If that happens, it's just the new color, not that color and colorless.

Devoid (This card has no color.)
Exile target nonland permanent. You may cast that card for as long as it remains exiled, and you may spend colorless mana as though it were mana of any color to cast that spell.

Aether Revolt

Energy counters are a kind of counter that a player may have. They're not associated with any specific permanents.

Energy counters aren't mana. They don't go away as steps, phases, and turns end, and effects that add mana "of any type" can't give you energy counters.

If a spell or ability with one or more targets states that you "may pay" some amount of {E}, and each permanent that it targets has become an illegal target, the spell or ability won't resolve. You can't pay any {E} even if you want to.

If an effect instructs you to get one or more {E} and then allows you to spend {E}, Aether Revolt's last ability will see the amount of {E} you got. It doesn't matter how much {E} you spend after that.

If an effect says you get one or more {E}, you get that many energy counters. To pay one or more {E}, you lose that many energy counters. You can't pay more energy counters than you have. Any effects that interact with counters a player gets, has, or loses can interact with energy counters.

If another effect modifies how much damage a source would deal to an opponent or a permanent they control, including preventing some of it, the player being dealt damage or the controller of the permanent being dealt damage chooses an order in which to apply those effects. If all of the damage is prevented, Aether Revolt's effect no longer applies.

If noncombat damage dealt by a source you control is being divided or assigned among multiple opponents and/or permanents opponents control, divide the original amount before adding 2. For example, if you cast a spell that deals 4 damage divided among any number of targets and you choose to have it deal 2 damage to a creature and 2 damage to that creature's controller, that spell will deal 4 damage to each of them instead.

If you get multiple {E} at once, Aether Revolt's last ability will trigger only once. When the triggered ability resolves, it will deal damage to the target equal to the amount of {E} you gained.

Keep track of how many energy counters each player has. Potential ways to track this include writing theme down on paper or using dice, but any method that is clear and mutually agreeable is fine. (At higher levels of tournament play, dice may not be allowed for tracking counters that players have.)

Once a permanent you control leaves the battlefield, Aether Revolt's revolt ability will apply to noncombat damage dealt by sources you control until the turn ends or Aether Revolt leaves the battlefield, whichever happens first. It doesn't matter what happens to the card or token that left the battlefield afterward.

Some spells and abilities that give you {E} may require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve. You won't get any {E}.

Some triggered abilities state that you "may pay" a certain amount of {E}. You can't pay that amount multiple times to multiply the effect. You simply choose whether or not to pay that amount of {E} as the ability resolves.

Some triggered abilities that state that you "may pay" a certain amount of {E} describe an effect that happens "If you do." In that case, no player may take actions to try to stop the ability's effect after you make your choice. If the payment is followed by the phrase "When you do," then you'll choose any targets for that reflexive triggered ability and put it on the stack before players can take actions.

The additional damage is dealt by the original source of the damage, not by Aether Revolt.

{E} is the energy symbol. It represents one energy counter.

Revolt — As long as a permanent you controlled left the battlefield this turn, if a source you control would deal noncombat damage to an opponent or a permanent an opponent controls, it deals that much damage plus 2 instead.
Whenever you get one or more {E}, Aether Revolt deals that much damage to any target.

His pride denied him; his brother did not.

Ajani, Nacatl Pariah // Ajani, Nacatl Avenger

When Ajani, Nacatl Pariah enters, create a 2/1 white Cat Warrior creature token.
Whenever one or more other Cats you control die, you may exile Ajani, then return him to the battlefield transformed under his owner's control.

[+2]: Put a +1/+1 counter on each Cat you control.
[0]: Create a 2/1 white Cat Warrior creature token. When you do, if you control a red permanent other than Ajani, Nacatl Avenger, he deals damage equal to the number of creatures you control to any target.
[−4]: Each opponent chooses an artifact, a creature, an enchantment, and a planeswalker from among the nonland permanents they control, then sacrifices the rest.

Amphibian Downpour

A copy of a spell can be countered like any other spell, but it must be countered individually. Countering a spell with storm won't affect the copies.

Amphibian Downpour may enchant a permanent that is only temporarily a creature, such as a Vehicle. If this happens, Amphibian Downpour's effect causes the enchanted permanent to remain a 1/1 blue Frog creature even after the temporary effect making it a creature expires.

Amphibian Downpour overwrites all colors and creature types the enchanted creature has. It's just a blue Frog. The creature keeps any supertypes it has (such as legendary) but loses any other card types it has (such as artifact).

Amphibian Downpour overwrites all previous effects that set the creature's base power and toughness to specific values. Any power- or toughness-setting effects that start to apply afterward will overwrite this effect.

Because damage remains marked on a creature until the damage is removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to a creature may become lethal if Amphibian Downpour becomes attached to it during that turn.

Effects that modify the creature's power and/or toughness, such as the effect of Wing It, will apply to the creature no matter when they started to take effect. The same is true for counters that change its power and/or toughness and effects that switch its power and toughness.

If the enchanted creature gains an ability after Amphibian Downpour becomes attached to it, it will keep that ability.

If the enchanted creature has any subtypes other than creature types, such as Equipment, Vehicle, or Urza's, it loses those as well.

Spells cast from zones other than a player's hand and spells that were countered or otherwise failed to resolve are counted by the storm ability.

The copies are put directly onto the stack. They aren't cast and won't be counted by other spells with storm cast later in the turn.

The triggered ability that creates the copies can itself be countered by anything that can counter a triggered ability. If it is countered, no copies will be put onto the stack.

You may choose new targets for any of the copies. You can make different choices for each copy.

Flash
Storm (When you cast this spell, copy it for each spell cast before it this turn. You may choose new targets for the copies. Copies become tokens.)
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature loses all abilities and is a blue Frog creature with base power and toughness 1/1.

Archway of Innovation

Because improvise isn't an alternative cost, it can be used in conjunction with alternative costs.

If an artifact you control has a mana ability with {T} in the cost, activating that ability while casting a spell with improvise will result in the artifact being tapped before you pay the spell's costs. You won't be able to tap it again for improvise. Similarly, if you sacrifice an artifact to activate a mana ability while casting a spell with improvise, that artifact won't be on the battlefield when you pay the spell's costs, so you won't be able to tap it for improvise.

Multiple instances of improvise are redundant.

When calculating a spell's total cost, include any alternative costs, additional costs, or anything else that increases or reduces the cost to cast the spell. Improvise applies after the total cost is calculated. Improvise doesn't change a spell's mana cost or mana value.

When using improvise to cast a spell with {X} in its cost, first choose the value for X. That choice, plus any cost increases or decreases, will determine the spell's total cost. Then you can tap artifacts you control to help pay that cost. For example, if you activate the last ability of Archway of Innovation and then cast Wrath of the Skies (a spell with mana cost {X}{W}{W}), choosing 3 as the value of X, the total cost is {3}{W}{W}. If you tap two artifacts, you'll have to pay {1}{W}{W}.

You must already control an Island as Archway of Innovation enters the battlefield for it to enter untapped. If it enters the battlefield at the same time as an Island when you control no other Islands, it will enter tapped.

Archway of Innovation enters tapped unless you control an Island.
{T}: Add {U}.
{U}, {T}: The next spell you cast this turn has improvise. (Your artifacts can help cast that spell. Each artifact you tap after you're done activating mana abilities pays for {1}.)

Arena of Glory

If an exerted permanent is already untapped during your next untap step (most likely because an effect untapped it), exert's effect preventing it from untapping expires without having done anything.

If mana generated with Arena of Glory's last ability is spent on a noncreature spell that becomes a creature later in the turn, that creature won't have haste.

If mana generated with Arena of Glory's last ability is spent to cast a noncreature spell that creates tokens, those tokens won't gain haste.

If mana generated with Arena of Glory's last ability is spent to pay any part of a creature spell's cost, including an alternative or additional cost, that creature spell (and the resulting creature) will gain haste until end of turn.

If the mana generated with Arena of Glory's last ability is spent on two different creature spells, each of those spells (and resulting creatures) will gain haste until end of turn.

If you gain control of another player's permanent until end of turn and exert it, and then that player regains control of it, it will untap during that player's untap step.

The mana generated with Arena of Glory's last ability can be spent on anything, not just creature spells.

You must already control a Mountain as Arena of Glory enters the battlefield for it to enter untapped. If it enters the battlefield at the same time as a Mountain when you control no other Mountains, it will enter tapped.

Arena of Glory enters tapped unless you control a Mountain.
{T}: Add {R}.
{R}, {T}, Exert Arena of Glory: Add {R}{R}. If that mana is spent on a creature spell, it gains haste until end of turn. (An exerted permanent won't untap during your next untap step.)

Argent Dais

Argent Dais's second ability triggers whenever two or more creatures attack, not just when you attack with two or more creatures.

If the target nonland permanent is illegal as Argent Dais's last ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. No player will draw cards.

Argent Dais enters with two oil counters on it.
Whenever two or more creatures attack, put an oil counter on Argent Dais.
{2}, {T}, Remove two oil counters from Argent Dais: Exile another target nonland permanent. Its controller draws two cards.

Arna Kennerüd, Skycaptain

A creature that is equipped is considered modified no matter who controls the Equipment that's attached to it.

A creature with a counter on it is considered modified no matter what kind of counter it is or which player put it on that creature.

An Aura controlled by another player does not cause a creature you control to be modified.

If, for any reason, an Aura token that would be created with Arna Kennerüd's last ability can't be attached to the appropriate creature, that token isn't created. If an Equipment token that can't be attached to the appropriate creature would be created, that token enters the battlefield unattached.

Only creatures can be modified. If a modified creature stops being a creature, it is no longer considered modified.

To double the number of each kind of counter on a permanent, put another counter on it for each counter it already has. Effects that interact with counters being put onto permanents, such as the effect of Branching Evolution, apply as appropriate.

Flying, lifelink
Ward—Discard a card.
Whenever a modified creature you control attacks, double the number of each kind of counter on it. Then for each nontoken permanent attached to it, create a token that's a copy of that permanent attached to that creature.

Ashling, Flame Dancer

If a red mana you add has certain restrictions or riders associated with it (for example, if it was produced by the last ability of Arena of Glory), they'll apply to that mana no matter when you spend it.

If an effect creates multiple copies of an instant or sorcery spell, Ashling's last ability triggers once for each copy created by the effect.

Once Ashling leaves the battlefield, you have until the end of the current step or phase to spend whatever red mana you have before you lose that mana as normal. There is no penalty associated with this other than the loss of the mana.

Some effects instruct you to copy an instant or sorcery card in a zone other than the stack. These copies will not cause Ashling's last ability to trigger. However, most effects that do this also allow you to cast the copy, and casting the copy will cause Ashling's last ability to trigger.

You can keep unspent red mana indefinitely while Ashling is on the battlefield. That means if you add a red mana during one step or phase, you can spend it during a later step or phase, or even a later turn. You will still lose other types of unspent mana as each step and phase ends.

You don't lose unspent red mana as steps and phases end.
Magecraft — Whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery spell, discard a card, then draw a card. If this is the second time this ability has resolved this turn, Ashling, Flame Dancer deals 2 damage to each opponent and each creature they control. If it's the third time, add {R}{R}{R}{R}.

Birthing Ritual

Birthing Ritual's ability checks if you control a creature at the beginning of your end step. If you don't, the ability won't trigger.

If Birthing Ritual's ability does trigger but you control no creatures when it tries to resolve, the ability will do nothing.

If one of the revealed creature cards has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0 when determining that card's mana value.

Use the mana value of the sacrificed creature as it last existed on the battlefield to determine the value of X.

At the beginning of your end step, if you control a creature, look at the top seven cards of your library. Then you may sacrifice a creature. If you do, you may put a creature card with mana value X or less from among those cards onto the battlefield, where X is 1 plus the sacrificed creature's mana value. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.

A graveyard for conquerors and conquered alike.

Bloodstained Mire

{T}, Pay 1 life, Sacrifice Bloodstained Mire: Search your library for a Swamp or Mountain card, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle.

Chthonian Nightmare

Chthonian Nightmare's last ability must have a target to be activated. You can't activate it without a target in order to return Chthonian Nightmare to your hand.

If a card in your graveyard has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0 when determining its mana value.

When Chthonian Nightmare enters, you get {E}{E}{E} (three energy counters).
Pay X {E}, Sacrifice a creature, Return Chthonian Nightmare to its owner's hand: Return target creature card with mana value X from your graveyard to the battlefield. Activate only as a sorcery.

Crabomination

An artifact's mana value is determined solely by the mana symbols printed in its upper right corner (unless that artifact is the back face of a double-faced card, is a melded permanent, or is copying something else; see below). If the mana cost includes {X}, X is 0. If it's a single-faced card with no mana symbols in its upper right corner (because it's an animated land, for example), its mana value is 0. Ignore any alternative costs or additional costs (such as kicker) that were paid as the artifact was cast.

Colored mana components of emerge costs can't be reduced with emerge.

Crabomination's triggered ability doesn't allow you to play land cards, and as such, any land cards exiled with Crabomination's triggered ability will remain in exile. If you choose not to cast any of the exiled nonland cards (either because you can't or don't want to), those cards will remain in exile as well.

Emerge from artifact is a variant of the emerge ability. It allows you to sacrifice an artifact rather than a creature, but otherwise functions identically to emerge.

If you cast a spell for another cost "without paying its mana cost," you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast it.

Once you begin to cast a spell with emerge, no player may take actions until you're done. Notably, opponents can't try to remove the permanent you wish to sacrifice.

The artifact chosen to be sacrificed is still on the battlefield up through the time that you activate mana abilities. Its abilities may affect the spell's cost, be activated to generate mana, and so on. However, if it has an ability that triggers when a spell is cast, it will have been sacrificed before that ability can trigger.

The mana value of a creature spell with emerge isn't affected by whether its emerge cost is paid. For example, if you cast Crabomination for its emerge cost and sacrifice an artifact whose mana value is 3, Crabomination's mana value remains 6.

The mana value of the back face of a double-faced card is the mana value of its front face. The mana value of a melded permanent is the sum of the mana values of its front faces. An artifact that's a copy of either has a mana value of 0.

The spell you cast without paying its mana cost is cast during the resolution of Crabomination's triggered ability. Timing restrictions of that spell based on card type are ignored.

You choose whether or not to cast one of the exiled cards as Crabomination's triggered ability resolves. If you do, you do so as part of the resolution of that ability. You can't wait to cast it later in the turn. Timing restrictions based on the card's type are ignored.

You may sacrifice an artifact with a mana value of 0, such as a Food token, to cast Crabomination for its emerge cost. You'll just pay the full emerge cost with no reduction.

You may sacrifice an artifact with mana value greater than or equal to the emerge cost. If you do, you'll pay only the colored mana component of the emerge cost.

Emerge from artifact {5}{B}{B} (You may cast this spell by sacrificing an artifact and paying the emerge cost reduced by that artifact's mana value.)
When Crabomination enters, target opponent exiles the top card of their library, a card at random from their graveyard, and a card at random from their hand. You may cast a spell from among cards exiled this way without paying its mana cost.

Detective's Phoenix

Auras attached to a creature don't become tapped when the creature becomes tapped. Except in some rare cases, an Aura with bestow remains untapped when it becomes unattached and becomes a creature.

If a permanent with bestow enters the battlefield by any method other than being cast, it will be an enchantment creature. You can't choose to pay the bestow cost and have it become an Aura.

If you can't exile enough cards to meet or exceed the required mana value, you can't choose to collect evidence at all.

On the stack, a spell with bestow is either a creature spell or an Aura spell. It's never both, although it's an enchantment spell in either case.

Once you've announced that you're casting a spell, players can't take actions until you've finished doing so. Notably, opponents can't try to remove cards from your graveyard to stop you from collecting evidence.

Unlike other Aura spells, an Aura spell with bestow isn't countered if its target is illegal as it begins to resolve. Rather, the effect making it an Aura spell ends, it loses enchant creature, it returns to being an enchantment creature spell, and it resolves and enters the battlefield as an enchantment creature.

Unlike other Auras, an Aura with bestow isn't put into its owner's graveyard if it becomes unattached. Rather, the effect making it an Aura ends, it loses enchant creature, and it remains on the battlefield as an enchantment creature. It can attack (and its {T} abilities can be activated, if it has any) on the turn it becomes unattached if it's been under your control continuously, even as an Aura, since your most recent turn began.

Bestow—{R}, Collect evidence 6. (To pay this bestow cost, pay {R} and exile cards with total mana value 6 or greater from your graveyard.)
Flying, haste
Enchanted creature gets +2/+2 and has flying and haste.
You may cast Detective's Phoenix from your graveyard using its bestow ability.

Devourer of Destiny

A player's "opening hand" is the hand of cards the player has after all players have taken mulligans. If players have any cards in hand that allow actions to be taken with them from a player's opening hand, the starting player takes all such actions first in any order, followed by each other player in turn order. Then the first turn begins.

Devourer of Destiny's last triggered ability will resolve before Devourer of Destiny does. If Devourer of Destiny is countered or otherwise leaves the stack in response to that triggered ability, the triggered ability will still resolve as normal.

If you reveal more than one Devourer of Destiny from your opening hand, you'll put that many triggered abilities on the stack at the beginning of your first upkeep. As a result, you'll look at the top four cards of your library, put up to one back on top, and exile the rest once for each Devour of Destiny you revealed.

You may reveal this card from your opening hand. If you do, at the beginning of your first upkeep, look at the top four cards of your library. You may put one of those cards back on top of your library. Exile the rest.
When you cast this spell, exile target permanent that's one or more colors.

Disruptor Flute

Activated abilities contain a colon. They're generally written "[Cost]: [Effect]." Some keywords are activated abilities and will have colons in their reminder text. An activated mana ability is one that produces mana as it resolves, not one that costs mana to activate.

If you name a card that has both a mana ability and another activated ability, the mana ability can be activated but the other ability can't be activated.

Some cards can have alternative names, such as split cards, adventurer cards, double-faced cards, and so on. You may choose one of the two names the card can have; Disruptor Flute's abilities won't affect anything with the other name. For example, if you choose Ondu Knotmaster, Throw a Line will still cost only {W}{B} to cast.

To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.

You can choose the name of any card. You can't choose the name of a token unless it's also the name of a card.

Flash
As Disruptor Flute enters, choose a card name.
Spells with the chosen name cost {3} more to cast.
Activated abilities of sources with the chosen name can't be activated unless they're mana abilities.

Dreamtide Whale

If a permanent that's already on the battlefield without time counters on it becomes a copy of a permanent with vanishing, it will stay on the battlefield indefinitely (unless time counters are somehow put on it later). If a permanent with one or more time counters on it becomes a copy of a permanent with vanishing, it will vanish as normal. If a permanent enters the battlefield as a copy of a permanent with vanishing, it enters with the appropriate number of time counters and will vanish as normal.

If a player or permanent has more than one kind of counter on it, and you choose for it to get additional counters, it must get one of each kind of counter it already has. You can't have it get just one kind of counter it already has and not the others.

If the last time counter is removed from a permanent with vanishing and the sacrifice ability is countered, that permanent will remain on the battlefield indefinitely with no time counters on it. As long as the permanent doesn't have any time counters on it, neither of vanishing's two triggered abilities will trigger again.

Players can respond to a spell or ability whose effect includes proliferating. Once that spell or ability starts to resolve, however, and its controller chooses which permanents and players will get new counters, it's too late for anyone to respond.

You don't have to choose every permanent or player that has a counter—only the ones you want to add counters to. Since "any number" includes zero, you don't have to choose any permanents at all, and you don't have to choose any players at all.

hen you proliferate, you can choose any permanent that has a counter, including ones controlled by opponents. You can choose any player who has a counter, including opponents. You can't choose cards in any zone other than the battlefield, even if they have counters on them.

Vanishing 2 (This creature enters with two time counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter from it. When the last is removed, sacrifice it.)
Whenever a player casts their second spell each turn, proliferate. (Choose any number of permanents and/or players, then give each another counter of each kind already there.)

Echoes of Eternity

Abilities that apply "as [this permanent] enters the battlefield" or "as [this permanent] is turned face up" are also unaffected.

Abilities that apply "when [this permanent] is turned face up" will trigger an additional time only if that permanent is colorless once it has been turned face up.

Echoes of Eternity's first ability doesn't copy the triggered ability; it just causes the ability to trigger an additional time. Any choices made as you put the ability onto the stack, such as modes and targets, are made separately for each instance of the ability. Any choices made on resolution, such as whether to put counters on a permanent, are also made individually.

If a triggered ability is linked to a second ability, additional instances of that triggered ability are also linked to that second ability. If the second ability refers to "the exiled card," it refers to all cards exiled by instances of the triggered ability.

If you control two copies of Echoes of Eternity and you cast a colorless spell, each of their second abilities will trigger. Then, each of their first abilities will cause the other's second ability to trigger an additional time. In total, you'll get four copies of the spell in addition to the original spell. If you control three copies of Echoes of Eternity, you'll end up with nine copies of the spell plus the original. Four copies of Echoes of Eternity means sixteen copies of the spell plus the original, five means twenty-five copies plus the original, and so on.

If you control two copies of Echoes of Eternity, abilities of colorless spells and other colorless permanents you control trigger three times. A third Echoes of Eternity causes such abilities to trigger four times, a fourth causes such abilities to trigger five times, and so on.

In some cases involving linked abilities, an ability requires information about "the exiled card." When this happens, the ability gets multiple answers. If these answers are being used to determine the value of a variable, the sum is used. For example, if Elite Arcanist's enters-the-battlefield ability triggers twice, two cards are exiled. The value of X in the activation cost of Elite Arcanist's other ability is the sum of the two cards' mana values. As the ability resolves, you create copies of both cards and can cast none, one, or both of the copies in any order.

Kindred is a card type that allows noncreature cards to have creature types. For example, Echoes of Eternity is an Eldrazi (although not a creature) while on the battlefield and an Eldrazi card (although not a creature card) in zones other than the battlefield.

Once an ability of a permanent you control has triggered, making it colorless won't cause that ability to trigger an additional time. Similarly, once an ability of a colorless permanent has triggered an additional time due to Echoes of Eternity's first ability, giving that permanent one or more colors won't remove that additional triggered ability from the stack.

Replacement effects are unaffected by Echoes of Eternity's first ability. For example, a colorless creature that enters the battlefield under your control with one +1/+1 counter on it won't receive an additional +1/+1 counter.

The copy created by Echoes of Eternity's last ability is put directly onto the stack. It isn't cast, so any abilities that apply "when you cast [this spell]" won't trigger.

Triggered abilities use the word "when," "whenever," or "at." They're often written as "[Trigger condition], [effect]." Some keyword abilities are triggered abilities and will have "when," "whenever," or "at the beginning of" in their reminder text.

While it appears only on cards that already have other card types, kindred is a card type and will be counted by effects that refer to the number of card types among cards in a zone.

If a triggered ability of a colorless spell you control or another colorless permanent you control triggers, that ability triggers an additional time.
Whenever you cast a colorless spell, copy it. You may choose new targets for the copy. (A copy of a permanent spell becomes a token.)

Eladamri, Korvecdal

Because you never "cast" a land card, Eladamri, Korvecdal doesn't allow you to play a land creature (such as Dryad Arbor) from the top of your library.

If the top card of your library changes while you're casting a spell, playing a land, or activating an ability, you can't look at the new top card until you finish doing so. This means that if you cast a spell from the top of your library, you can't look at the next one until you're done paying for that spell.

You can look at the top card of your library whenever you want (with one restriction; see below), even if you don't have priority. This action doesn't use the stack. Knowing what that card is becomes part of the information you have access to, just like you can look at the cards in your hand.

You must pay all costs and follow all timing rules for spells cast from the top of your library this way.

You may look at the top card of your library any time.
You may cast creature spells from the top of your library.
{G}, {T}, Tap two untapped creatures you control: Reveal a card from your hand or the top card of your library. If you reveal a creature card this way, put it onto the battlefield. Activate only during your turn.

Eldrazi Linebreaker

The value of X is calculated only once, as Eldrazi Linebreaker's last ability resolves.

Devoid (This card has no color.)
Trample
At the beginning of combat on your turn, target creature you control gains haste and gets +X/+0 until end of turn, where X is the number of Eldrazi you control.

Emperor of Bones

Finality counters aren't keyword counters, and a finality counter doesn't give any abilities to the permanent it's on. If that permanent loses its abilities and then would go to a graveyard, it will still be exiled instead.

Finality counters don't stop permanents from going to zones other than the graveyard from the battlefield. For example, if a permanent with a finality counter on it would be put into its owner's hand from the battlefield, it does so normally.

If a creature somehow loses all of its +1/+1 counters, it can adapt again and get more +1/+1 counters.

If any permanent with a finality counter on it would go to a graveyard from the battlefield, exile it instead.

Multiple finality counters on a single permanent are redundant.

You can always activate an ability that will cause a creature to adapt. As that ability resolves, if the creature has a +1/+1 counter on it for any reason, you simply won't put any +1/+1 counters on it.

At the beginning of combat on your turn, exile up to one target card from a graveyard.
{1}{B}: Adapt 2.
Whenever one or more +1/+1 counters are put on Emperor of Bones, put a creature card exiled with Emperor of Bones onto the battlefield under your control with a finality counter on it. It gains haste. Sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step.

Emrakul, the World Anew

A card with madness that's discarded counts as having been discarded even though it's put into exile rather than a graveyard. If it was discarded to pay a cost, that cost is still paid. Abilities that trigger when a card is discarded will still trigger.

A spell cast for its madness cost is put onto the stack like any other spell. It can be countered, copied, and so on. As it resolves, it's put onto the battlefield if it's a permanent card or into its owner's graveyard if it's an instant or sorcery card.

Cards are discarded in a Magic game only from a player's hand. Effects that put cards into a player's graveyard from anywhere else do not cause those cards to be discarded.

Casting a spell with madness ignores the timing rules based on the card's card type. For example, you can cast a creature with madness if you discard it during an opponent's turn.

Emrakul, the World Anew's triggered ability will resolve before Emrakul does. If Emrakul is countered or otherwise leaves the stack in response to that triggered ability, the triggered ability will still resolve as normal.

If you choose not to cast a card with madness when the madness triggered ability resolves, it's put into your graveyard. Madness doesn't give you another chance to cast it later.

If you discard a card with madness to pay the cost of a spell or activated ability, that card's madness triggered ability (and the spell that card becomes, if you choose to cast it) will resolve before the spell or ability the discard paid for.

If you discard a card with madness while a spell or ability is resolving, it moves immediately to exile. Continue resolving that spell or ability, noting that the card you discarded is not in your graveyard at this time. Its madness triggered ability will be placed onto the stack once that spell or ability has completely resolved.

If you discard a card with madness, you discard it into exile instead of into your graveyard. When you do, you can either cast it from exile for its madness cost or put it into your graveyard.

Madness works independently of why you're discarding the card. You could discard it to pay a cost, because a spell or ability tells you to, or because you have too many cards in your hand during your cleanup step. You can't discard a card with madness just because you want to, though.

The control-change effect of Emrakul's first ability lasts indefinitely. It doesn't wear off during the cleanup step or when Emrakul leaves the battlefield.

When you cast this spell, gain control of all creatures target player controls.

Fanatic of Rhonas

If a creature card with eternalize is put into your graveyard during your main phase, you'll have priority immediately afterward. You can activate its eternalize ability before any player can try to exile it.

Once you've activated an eternalize ability, the card is immediately exiled. Opponents can't try to stop the ability by exiling the card.

The token copies exactly what was printed on the original card and nothing else, except the characteristics specifically modified by eternalize. It doesn't copy any information about the object the card was before it was put into your graveyard.

The token is a Zombie in addition to its other types and is black instead of its other colors. Its base power and toughness are 4/4. It has no mana cost, and thus its mana value is 0. These are copiable values of the token that other effects may copy.

{T}: Add {G}.
Ferocious — {T}: Add {G}{G}{G}{G}. Activate only if you control a creature with power 4 or greater.
Eternalize {2}{G}{G} ({2}{G}{G}, Exile this card from your graveyard: Create a token that's a copy of it, except it's a 4/4 black Zombie Snake Druid with no mana cost. Eternalize only as a sorcery.)

Flare of Cultivation

You may sacrifice a nontoken green creature rather than pay this spell's mana cost.
Search your library for up to two basic land cards, reveal those cards, put one onto the battlefield tapped and the other into your hand, then shuffle.

"I see where you're going with that, and I don't like it."

Flare of Denial

You may sacrifice a nontoken blue creature rather than pay this spell's mana cost.
Counter target spell.

"Decent. But let me show you what mastery looks like."

Flare of Duplication

If the spell has damage divided as it was cast, the division can't be changed (although the targets receiving that damage still can). The same is true of spells that distribute counters.

If the spell that's copied has an X whose value was determined as it was cast (like Kozilek's Command does), the copy will have the same value of X.

You may sacrifice a nontoken red creature rather than pay this spell's mana cost.
Copy target instant or sorcery spell. You may choose new targets for the copy.
