"Eventually I'll give retirement another shot. But not today."

Agrus Kos, Spirit of Justice

Being suspected isn’t a copiable value. If a permanent becomes a copy of a suspected creature, it won’t be suspected.

If a creature is already suspected, suspecting it again won’t have any effect.

If a suspected creature loses all abilities, it will lose menace and "This creature can't block", but it won’t stop being suspected.

There’s no limit to the number of creatures that can be suspected simultaneously. Suspecting a new creature doesn’t cause other creatures to stop being suspected.

When an effect suspects a creature, it becomes suspected. It gains menace and "This creature can't block" for as long as it’s suspected. It stays suspected until it leaves the battlefield or another effect causes it to no longer be suspected.

Double strike, vigilance
Whenever Agrus Kos, Spirit of Justice enters or attacks, choose up to one target creature. If it's suspected, exile it. Otherwise, suspect it. (A suspected creature has menace and can't block.)

Alquist Proft, Master Sleuth

Clue is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some cards with other permanent types, it’s never a creature type, a land type, or anything but an artifact type.

If an effect refers to a Clue, it means any Clue artifact, not just a Clue artifact token. For example, you can sacrifice Wrench to pay for Alquist Proft, Master Sleuth’s activated ability.

Some abilities trigger “whenever you sacrifice a Clue”. Those abilities trigger whenever you sacrifice a Clue for any reason, not just to activate a Clue’s activated ability.

Some spells and abilities that investigate 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 create any Clue tokens.

You can’t sacrifice a Clue to pay multiple costs. For example, you can’t sacrifice a Clue token to activate its own ability and also to activate Alquist Proft, Master Sleuth’s ability.

Vigilance
When Alquist Proft, Master Sleuth enters, investigate. (Create a Clue token. It's an artifact with "{2}, Sacrifice this artifact: Draw a card.")
{X}{W}{U}{U}, {T}, Sacrifice a Clue: You draw X cards and gain X life.

Analyze the Pollen

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

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.

The collect evidence ability of Analyze the Pollen allows you to find a nonbasic land card.

As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may collect evidence 8. (Exile cards with total mana value 8 or greater from your graveyard.)
Search your library for a basic land card. If evidence was collected, instead search your library for a creature or land card. Reveal that card, put it into your hand, then shuffle.

Anzrag's Rampage

Anzrag's Rampage counts the number of artifacts that were put into graveyards from the battlefield this turn for any reason, not just ones that were destroyed by Anzrag's Rampage. This includes any artifact tokens that were put into graveyards from the battlefield this turn, such as Clue, Food, and Treasure tokens.

Destroy all artifacts you don't control, then exile the top X cards of your library, where X is the number of artifacts that were put into graveyards from the battlefield this turn. You may put a creature card exiled this way onto the battlefield. It gains haste. Return it to your hand at the beginning of the next end step.

His claws tear at the foundations of civilization.

Anzrag, the Quake-Mole

Anzrag, the Quake-Mole’s first ability may trigger multiple times in the same turn. Each time it resolves, you create an additional combat phase.

If multiple creatures block Anzrag, the Quake-Mole, its first ability still triggers only once.

If you activate Anzrag, the Quake-Mole’s last ability, but each creature the defending player controls can’t block for any reason, Anzrag isn’t blocked. If there’s a cost associated with blocking Anzrag, the defending player isn’t forced to pay that cost, so it doesn’t have to be blocked in that case either.

If you activate Anzrag, the Quake-Mole’s last ability, only one creature is required to block it each combat this turn. Other creatures may also block it and are free to block other creatures or not block at all.

Whenever Anzrag, the Quake-Mole becomes blocked, untap each creature you control. After this phase, there is an additional combat phase.
{3}{R}{R}{G}{G}: Anzrag must be blocked each combat this turn if able.

Archdruid's Charm

If you choose the second mode and the creature you don't control is not a legal target as Archdruid's Charm resolves, you'll still put a +1/+1 counter on your creature.

If you choose the second mode and your creature is not a legal target as Archdruid's Charm resolves, you won't put a +1/+1 counter on it, and no damage will be dealt.

You can't choose the second mode for Archdruid's Charm unless you and another player have creatures to target.

Choose one —
• Search your library for a creature or land card and reveal it. Put it onto the battlefield tapped if it's a land card. Otherwise, put it into your hand. Then shuffle.
• Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature you control. It deals damage equal to its power to target creature you don't control.
• Exile target artifact or enchantment.

"Not just any floriculturist can grow this caliber of nightbloom. We're looking for a rooftop hothouse with quite particular conditions."

Assassin's Trophy

If the permanent's controller doesn't search their library, they don't shuffle their library.

If the target permanent is a legal target but isn't destroyed, most likely because it has indestructible, its controller may search their library.

If the target permanent is an illegal target by the time Assassin's Trophy tries to resolve, the spell doesn't resolve. No player searches their library.

Destroy target permanent an opponent controls. Its controller may search their library for a basic land card, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle.

"All will soon be made clear, but I can give you this: our killer is here with us, in this very room."
—Alquist Proft

Assemble the Players

Because you never “cast” a land card, Assemble the Players doesn’t allow you to play a land creature (such as Dryad Arbor) from the top of your library.

If Assemble the Players leaves the battlefield and returns to the battlefield in the same turn, the casting permission granted by the old one is different than the casting permission granted by the new one. Similarly, if you control multiple Assemble the Players, each one has a different casting permission that may be used once each turn.

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.

If the top card of your library has a disguise or morph ability, you can cast it face down from the top of your library, even if it doesn’t normally have power 2 or less.

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.
Once each turn, you may cast a creature spell with power 2 or less from the top of your library.

Trostani was as regal and vibrant as ever, but Kaya couldn't shake the sense that there was something off, some discordant note lurking deep within the chorus.

Audience with Trostani

To determine the number of differently named creature tokens you control, count each creature token you control once, but only if its English name isn’t exactly the same as another creature token you’ve already counted this way.

Unless a token is a copy of another permanent or was explicitly given a name by the effect that created it, its name is the subtypes it was given when it was created plus the word “Token.” For example, the 0/1 green Plant creature token created by Audience with Trostani is named “Plant Token.”

Create a 0/1 green Plant creature token, then draw cards equal to the number of differently named creature tokens you control.

Aurelia's Vindicator

A disguise ability lets you cast a card face down by paying {3} and announcing that you are using a disguise ability. Any time you have priority, you can turn a face-down permanent with disguise face up by paying its disguise cost.

A permanent that turns face up or face down changes characteristics but is otherwise the same permanent. Spells and abilities that were targeting that permanent and Auras and Equipment that were attached to that permanent aren't affected unless the new characteristics of the object change the legality of those targets or attachments.

Any time you have priority, you may turn the face-down creature face up by revealing what its disguise cost is and paying that cost. This is a special action. It doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to. Only a face-down permanent can be turned face up this way; a face-down spell cannot.

At any time, you can look at a face-down spell or permanent you control. You can't look at face-down permanents or spells you don't control unless an effect instructs or allows you to do so.

Because face-down creatures don't have a name, they can't have the same name as any other creature, even another face-down creature.

Because the permanent is on the battlefield both before and after it's turned face up, turning a permanent face up doesn't cause any enters-the-battlefield abilities to trigger.

If Aurelia's Vindicator leaves the battlefield before its "turned face up" ability has resolved, its leaves the battlefield ability will trigger and do nothing. Then the "turned face up" ability will resolve and exile the targeted creatures and/or creature cards indefinitely.

If a creature targeted by the "turned face up" ability dies before that ability resolves, it will become an illegal target even though it may be a creature card in a graveyard when the ability resolves. It won't be exiled.

If a face-down creature loses its abilities, it can't be turned face up with a disguise ability because it will no longer have a disguise ability (or a disguise cost) once face up.

If a face-down spell leaves the stack and goes to any zone other than the battlefield (if it was countered, for example), you must reveal it. Similarly, if a face-down permanent leaves the battlefield, you must reveal it. You must also reveal all face-down spells and permanents you control if you leave the game or the game ends.

The creature spell is a 2/2 creature spell with ward {2} that has no name, mana cost, or creature types. The resulting creature is a 2/2 creature with ward {2} that has no name, mana cost, or creature types. Both the spell and the resulting creature are colorless and have a mana value of 0. Other effects that apply to the spell or creature can still grant it any characteristics it doesn't have or change the characteristics it does have.

The face-down spell has no mana cost and a mana value of 0. When you cast a face-down spell, put it on the stack face down so no other player knows what it is, and pay {3} to cast it. This is an alternative cost.

Turning a permanent face up or face down doesn't change whether that permanent is tapped or untapped.

You must ensure that your face-down spells and permanents can be easily differentiated from each other. You're not allowed to mix up the cards that represent them on the battlefield to confuse other players. The order in which they entered the battlefield should remain clear, as well as what ability caused them to be face down. (This includes disguise, cloak, and in games involving older cards, morph and manifest, as well as a few other effects that turn cards face down.) Common methods for doing this include using markers or dice, or simply placing them in order on the battlefield.

Flying, lifelink, ward {2}
Disguise {X}{3}{W}
When Aurelia's Vindicator is turned face up, exile up to X other target creatures from the battlefield and/or creature cards from graveyards.
When Aurelia's Vindicator leaves the battlefield, return the exiled cards to their owners' hands.

Aurelia, the Law Above

For both triggered abilities, it doesn’t matter what happens to the attacking creatures in response. As long as a player attacked with at least the appropriate number of creatures, the effects of Aurelia’s triggered abilities will still occur.

Flying, vigilance, haste
Whenever a player attacks with three or more creatures, you draw a card.
Whenever a player attacks with five or more creatures, Aurelia, the Law Above deals 3 damage to each of your opponents and you gain 3 life.

Axebane Ferox

Deathtouch, haste
Ward—Collect evidence 4. (Whenever this creature becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, counter it unless that player exiles cards with total mana value 4 or greater from their graveyard.)

Barbed Servitor

A creature can be dealt an amount of damage greater than its toughness. For example, if Barbed Servitor is dealt 3 damage, its last ability causes the target opponent to lose 3 life.

If your life total is brought to 0 or less at the same time that Barbed Servitor is dealt damage, you lose the game before its last ability goes on the stack.

Indestructible
When Barbed Servitor enters, suspect it. (It has menace and can't block.)
Whenever Barbed Servitor deals combat damage to a player, you draw a card and you lose 1 life.
Whenever Barbed Servitor is dealt damage, target opponent loses that much life.

Blood Spatter Analysis

Blood Spatter Analysis is sacrificed for having five or more bloodstain counters on it only while its second ability is resolving. If you put a fifth counter on it some other way, it won’t be immediately sacrificed.

Blood Spatter Analysis’s reflexive triggered ability triggers and returns a creature card to your hand only if you sacrifice it while resolving its second ability. It won’t trigger if you sacrifice it for any other reason.

You don’t choose a target creature card to return from your graveyard to your hand at the time Blood Spatter Analysis’s second ability triggers. Rather, a second “reflexive” ability triggers when you sacrifice Blood Spatter Analysis this way. You choose a target for that ability as it goes on the stack. Each player may respond to this triggered ability as normal.

When Blood Spatter Analysis enters, it deals 3 damage to target creature an opponent controls.
Whenever one or more creatures die, mill a card and put a bloodstain counter on Blood Spatter Analysis. Then sacrifice it if it has five or more bloodstain counters on it. When you do, return target creature card from your graveyard to your hand.

Case of the Crimson Pulse

Being solved is not part of a permanent’s copiable values. A permanent that becomes a copy of a solved Case is not solved. A solved Case that somehow becomes a copy of a different Case stays solved.

Cases don’t lose their other abilities when they become solved.

Each Case has two special keyword abilities: to solve and solved.

If you have no cards in hand as Case of the Crimson Pulse’s first ability resolves, you won’t discard a card, but you will still draw two cards. Similarly, if you have no cards in hand when Case of the Crimson Pulse’s last ability resolves, you won’t discard any cards, but you’ll still draw two cards.

Once a Case becomes solved, it stays solved until it leaves the battlefield.

The meaning of “solved” differs based on what type of ability follows it. “Solved — [activated ability]” means “[Activated ability]. Activate only if this Case is solved.” Activated abilities contain a colon. They’re generally written “[Cost]: [Effect].” 

“Solved — [Triggered ability]” means “[Triggered ability]. This ability triggers only if this Case is solved.” Triggered abilities use the word “when,” “whenever,” or “at.” They’re often written as “[Trigger condition], [effect].”

“Solved — [static ability]” means “As long as this Case is solved, [static ability].” Static abilities are written as statements, such as “Creatures you control get +1/+1” or “Instant and sorcery spells you cast cost {1} less to cast.”

“To Solve — [condition]” means “At the beginning of your end step, if [condition] and this Case is not solved, it becomes solved.”

“To solve” abilities will check for their condition twice: once when the ability would trigger, and once when it resolves. If the condition isn’t true at the beginning of your end step, the ability won’t trigger at all. If the condition isn’t true when the ability resolves, the Case won’t become solved.

When this Case enters, discard a card, then draw two cards.
To solve — You have no cards in hand. (If unsolved, solve at the beginning of your end step.)
Solved — At the beginning of your upkeep, discard your hand, then draw two cards.

Case of the Locked Hothouse

The effect of Case of the Locked Hothouse that allows you to play an additional land is cumulative with similar effects. For example, if you control two Case of the Locked Hothouses, you’ll be able to play three lands during each of your turns.

You may play an additional land on each of your turns.
To solve — You control seven or more lands. (If unsolved, solve at the beginning of your end step.)
Solved — You may look at the top card of your library any time, and you may play lands and cast creature and enchantment spells from the top of your library.

Case of the Ransacked Lab

Instant and sorcery spells you cast cost {1} less to cast.
To solve — You've cast four or more instant and sorcery spells this turn. (If unsolved, solve at the beginning of your end step.)
Solved — Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, draw a card.

Case of the Stashed Skeleton

When this Case enters, create a 2/1 black Skeleton creature token and suspect it. (It has menace and can't block.)
To solve — You control no suspected Skeletons. (If unsolved, solve at the beginning of your end step.)
Solved — {1}{B}, Sacrifice this Case: Search your library for a card, put it into your hand, then shuffle. Activate only as a sorcery.

Case of the Uneaten Feast

Whenever a creature you control enters, you gain 1 life.
To solve — You've gained 5 or more life this turn. (If unsolved, solve at the beginning of your end step.)
Solved — Sacrifice this Case: Creature cards in your graveyard gain "You may cast this card from your graveyard" until end of turn.

Commercial District

Commercial District enters tapped.
When Commercial District enters, surveil 1. (Look at the top card of your library. You may put it into your graveyard.)

"How could I have missed it? The answer was right in front of me all along!"

Connecting the Dots

Each Connecting the Dots you control has its own set of face-down exiled cards. Connecting the Dots’s last ability puts only those cards into your hand, not those of any other Connecting the Dots.

If Connecting the Dots leaves the battlefield before you activate its last ability, any cards exiled by its triggered ability remain exiled face down for the rest of the game. (You still can’t look at them.) If you somehow return the same Connecting the Dots to the battlefield, it will be a different object with no connection to those face-down cards.

You can pay the cost of “discard your hand” even if your hand contains zero cards.

Whenever a creature you control attacks, exile the top card of your library face down. (You can't look at it.)
{1}{R}, Discard your hand, Sacrifice Connecting the Dots: Put all cards exiled with Connecting the Dots into their owners' hands.

"There can be many motives and opportunities, but there is always only one truth."

Conspiracy Unraveler

If a spell has an additional cost that includes collecting evidence, such as that of Analyze the Pollen, any additional effects that occur “if evidence was collected” will occur only if that additional cost was paid. Using the alternative cost from Conspiracy Unraveler will not cause those additional effects to occur.

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

If you are casting a spell from your graveyard (for example, a spell with flashback) you can’t also exile that card to pay the alternative collect evidence cost offered by Conspiracy Unraveler.

If you cast a spell for another cost “rather than pay its mana cost”, you can’t choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, such as that of Demand Answers, those must be paid to cast the card.

If you cast a spell with the alternative collect evidence cost offered by Conspiracy Unraveler and you also collect evidence as an additional cost to cast that spell, abilities of permanents that trigger “whenever you collect evidence” will trigger twice. This is also true for abilities that trigger “whenever one or more cards leave your graveyard.” For example, let’s say you control Conspiracy Unraveler and Evidence Examiner. You cast Crimestopper Sprite and choose to collect evidence 10 rather than pay its mana cost. You also choose to collect evidence 6 as an additional cost. Each of these will cause Evidence Examiner’s last ability to trigger, and you’ll end up investigating twice.

Flying
You may collect evidence 10 rather than pay the mana cost for spells you cast. (To collect evidence 10, exile cards with total mana value 10 or greater from your graveyard.)

Coveted Falcon

A permanent that turns face up or face down changes characteristics but is otherwise the same permanent. Spells and abilities that were targeting that permanent and Auras and Equipment that were attached to that permanent aren’t affected unless the new characteristics of the object change the legality of those targets or attachments.

A token’s owner is the player who created it.

Any time you have priority, you may turn the face-down creature face up by revealing what its disguise cost is and paying that cost. This is a special action. It doesn’t use the stack and can’t be responded to. Only a face-down permanent can be turned face up this way; a face-down spell cannot.

At any time, you can look at a face-down spell or permanent you control. You can’t look at face-down permanents or spells you don’t control unless an effect instructs or allows you to do so.

Because face-down creatures don’t have a name, they can’t have the same name as any other creature, even another face-down creature.

Because the permanent is on the battlefield both before and after it’s turned face up, turning a permanent face up doesn’t cause any enters-the-battlefield abilities to trigger.

If a face-down creature loses its abilities, it can’t be turned face up with a disguise ability because it will no longer have a disguise ability (or a disguise cost) once face up.

The creature spell is a 2/2 creature spell with ward {2} that has no name, mana cost, or creature types. The resulting creature is a 2/2 creature with ward {2} that has no name, mana cost, or creature types. Both the spell and the resulting creature are colorless and have a mana value of 0. Other effects that apply to the spell or creature can still grant it any characteristics it doesn’t have or change the characteristics it does have.

Turning a permanent face up or face down doesn’t change whether that permanent is tapped or untapped.

You must ensure that your face-down spells and permanents can be easily differentiated from each other. You’re not allowed to mix up the cards that represent them on the battlefield to confuse other players. The order in which they entered the battlefield should remain clear, as well as what ability caused them to be face down. (This includes disguise, cloak, and in games involving older cards, morph and manifest, as well as a few other effects that turn cards face down.) Common methods for doing this include using markers or dice, or simply placing them in order on the battlefield.

Flying
Whenever Coveted Falcon attacks, gain control of target permanent you own but don't control.
Disguise {1}{U}
When Coveted Falcon is turned face up, target opponent gains control of any number of target permanents you control. Draw a card for each one they gained control of this way.

Cryptex

Cryptex’s first ability is a mana ability. It doesn’t use the stack and can’t be responded to.

{T}, Collect evidence 3: Add one mana of any color. Put an unlock counter on Cryptex. (To collect evidence 3, exile cards with total mana value 3 or greater from your graveyard.)
Sacrifice Cryptex: Surveil 3, then draw three cards. Activate only if Cryptex has five or more unlock counters on it.

Cryptic Coat

Any time you have priority, you can turn a cloaked permanent you control face-up by revealing that it’s a creature card (ignoring any copy effects or type-changing effects that might be applying to it) and paying its mana cost. This is a special action. It doesn’t use the stack and can’t be responded to.

Cryptic Coat has no equip ability. Without assistance from other cards, there’s no way to attach it to a creature other than with its first triggered ability. How cryptic!

If a cloaked creature would have disguise (or morph) if it were face up, you may also turn it face up by paying its disguise (or morph) cost.

If a double-faced card is cloaked, it will be put onto the battlefield face down. While face down, it can’t transform. If the front face of the card is a creature card, you can turn it face up by paying its mana cost. If you do, its front face will be up.

If something tries to turn a face-down instant or sorcery card on the battlefield face up, reveal that card to show all players it’s an instant or sorcery card. The permanent remains on the battlefield face down. Abilities that trigger when a permanent turns face up won’t trigger, because even though you revealed the card, it never turned face up.

To cloak a card, put it onto the battlefield face down. It becomes a 2/2 face-down creature card with ward {2} and no name, mana cost, or creature types. It’s colorless and has a mana value of 0. Other effects that apply to the permanent can still grant it any characteristics it doesn’t have or change the characteristics it does have.

Unlike a face-down creature that was cast using a disguise or morph ability, a cloaked creature may still be turned face up after it loses its abilities if it’s a creature card.

You’ll still cloak the top card of your library even if Cryptic Coat isn’t on the battlefield as its first ability resolves.

When Cryptic Coat enters, cloak the top card of your library, then attach Cryptic Coat to it. (To cloak a card, put it onto the battlefield face down as a 2/2 creature with ward {2}. Turn it face up any time for its mana cost if it's a creature card.)
Equipped creature gets +1/+0 and can't be blocked.
{1}{U}: Return Cryptic Coat to its owner's hand.

Deadly Cover-Up

Unlike many other effects of this kind, Deadly Cover-Up allows its controller to exile a basic land.

As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may collect evidence 6.
Destroy all creatures. If evidence was collected, exile a card from an opponent's graveyard. Then search its owner's graveyard, hand, and library for any number of cards with that name and exile them. That player shuffles, then draws a card for each card exiled from their hand this way.

"It's not a matter of what I know. It's a matter of making it worth my while to tell you."

Delney, Streetwise Lookout

Abilities that apply “as [this creature] enters the battlefield” or “as [this creature] is turned face up” are also unaffected.

Abilities that apply “when [this creature] is turned face up” will trigger an additional time only if that creature’s power is 2 or less once it has been turned face up.

Delney, Streetwise Lookout’s last 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 somehow control two Delney, Streetwise Lookouts, abilities of creatures you control with power 2 or less trigger three times. A third Delney 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.

Once a creature you control has become blocked, reducing its power to 2 or less and/or increasing the power of the creature blocking it to 3 or greater won’t cause it to become unblocked.

Once an ability of a creature you control has triggered, reducing its power to 2 or less won’t cause that ability to trigger an additional time. Similarly, once an ability of a creature you control with power 2 or less has triggered an additional time due to Delney, Streetwise Lookout’s last ability, increasing its power to 3 or greater won’t remove that additional triggered ability from the stack.

Replacement effects are unaffected by Delney, Streetwise Lookout’s last ability. For example, a 1/1 creature that enters the battlefield under your control with one +1/+1 counter on it won’t receive an additional +1/+1 counter.

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.

Creatures you control with power 2 or less can't be blocked by creatures with power 3 or greater.
If an ability of a creature you control with power 2 or less triggers, that ability triggers an additional time.

Parties at Karlov Manor are strictly invitation only.

Doorkeeper Thrull

If Doorkeeper Thrull and another creature or an artifact enter the battlefield at the same time, neither one will cause triggered abilities to trigger when they enter the battlefield.

Look at the permanent as it exists on the battlefield, taking into account continuous effects, to determine whether any triggered abilities will trigger. For example, if you control Opalescence, which says, in part, “Each other non-Aura enchantment is a creature,” each enchantment will be a creature at the time it enters the battlefield and will not cause triggered abilities to trigger.

Replacement effects, such as a permanent entering the battlefield tapped or with counters on it, are unaffected. Abilities that apply “as [this permanent] enters the battlefield” are replacement effects.

The trigger event doesn’t have to specify artifacts or creatures entering the battlefield. For example, Tireless Tracker has an ability that says “Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, investigate.” If an artifact land or creature land enters the battlefield under your control, that ability won’t trigger. If a nonartifact, noncreature land enters the battlefield under your control, the ability will 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.

Doppelgang

Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied permanent will trigger when the tokens enter the battlefield. Any “as [this permanent] enters the battlefield” or “[this permanent] enters the battlefield with” abilities of the permanent will also work.

If the copied permanent has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.

If the copied permanent is copying something else, then the tokens enter the battlefield as whatever that permanent copied.

The tokens copy exactly what was printed on the original permanent and nothing else (unless that permanent is itself copying something else; see below). They don’t copy whether that permanent is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on.

For each of X target permanents, create X tokens that are copies of that permanent.

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 kicker costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, such as that of Demand Answers, those must be paid to cast the spell.

In a multiplayer game, if an opponent leaves the game, all of the cards they own that you cloaked leave as well. If you leave the game, the creatures you cloaked with Etrata, Deadly Fugitive’s triggered ability are exiled.

You might be unable to turn a face-down creature face up because it’s an instant or sorcery. Alternatively, abilities such as that of Karlov Watchdog might prevent you from turning face-down creatures face up altogether. In those cases, you’ll exile that creature, and then you’ll choose whether or not to cast that card without paying its mana cost.

Your opponents can’t look at cards they own that you cloaked.

Deathtouch
Face-down creatures you control have "{2}{U}{B}: Turn this creature face up. If you can't, exile it, then you may cast the exiled card without paying its mana cost."
Whenever an Assassin you control deals combat damage to an opponent, cloak the top card of that player's library.

Astronomical wealth hinders peaceful succession.

Expedited Inheritance

Players pay all costs and follow all normal timing rules for cards played from exile with Expedited Inheritance’s permission. For example, if one of the exiled cards is a land card, they may play it only during their main phase while the stack is empty.

Whenever a creature is dealt damage, its controller may exile that many cards from the top of their library. They may play those cards until the end of their next turn.

Ezrim, Agency Chief

Flying
When Ezrim, Agency Chief enters, investigate twice. (To investigate, create a Clue token. It's an artifact with "{2}, Sacrifice this artifact: Draw a card.")
{1}, Sacrifice an artifact: Ezrim gains your choice of vigilance, lifelink, or hexproof until end of turn.

Forensic Gadgeteer

Activated abilities contain a colon. They’re generally written “[Cost]: [Effect].” Some keywords are activated abilities and will have colons in their reminder text. Triggered abilities (starting with “when,” “whenever,” or “at”) are unaffected by the cost reduction ability of Forensic Gadgeteer.

Forensic Gadgeteer’s last ability affects only abilities of artifacts you control on the battlefield. The costs of activated abilities of artifact cards that work in other zones, such as cycling, won’t be reduced.

Whenever you cast an artifact spell, investigate. (Create a Clue token. It's an artifact with "{2}, Sacrifice this artifact: Draw a card.")
Activated abilities of artifacts you control cost {1} less to activate. This effect can't reduce the mana in that cost to less than one mana.

Fugitive Codebreaker

Prowess, haste
Disguise {5}{R}. This cost is reduced by {1} for each instant and sorcery card in your graveyard. (You may cast this card face down for {3} as a 2/2 creature with ward {2}. Turn it face up any time for its disguise cost.)
When Fugitive Codebreaker is turned face up, discard your hand, then draw three cards.
