Akuta must already be in your graveyard as your upkeep begins in order for its ability to trigger.

In multiplayer games, it checks for each opponent.

The ashes of the dead mingle with the soil, and both become as one.

Ashes of the Fallen

As Ashes of the Fallen comes into play, choose a creature type.
Each creature card in your graveyard has the chosen creature type in addition to its other types.

If Spirit is the chosen creature type, the soulshift ability will be able to target any creature card in your graveyard of the appropriate mana value. Suppose two creatures, including one with soulshift, are put into your graveyard from the battlefield at the same time. The Spirit creature type is added as the cards enter the graveyard, just before you choose the target for the soulshift ability.

Before Shinka's walls were built, before the torii at Okina stood, she was there, tall and proud against the sky, and she will be there long after they have fallen into dust.

Ayumi, the Last Visitor

Nonland legendary permanents don’t affect whether Ayumi can be blocked or not, only legendary lands.

Legendary landwalk (This creature can't be blocked as long as defending player controls a legendary land.)

Barrel Down Sokenzan

Sweep Return any number of Mountains you control to their owner's hand. Barrel Down Sokenzan deals damage to target creature equal to twice the number of Mountains returned this way.

The lands are returned on resolution; this is not a cost of casting the spell.

In an age of war, time is measured not by sand but by blood.

Blood Clock

At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player returns a permanent he or she controls to its owner's hand unless he or she pays 2 life.

A player who controls no permanents doesn’t need to pay 2 life (although that player can choose to do so).

A player with less than 2 life can’t pay 2 life and must return a permanent.

The choice of which permanent to return or whether to pay life is made as the triggered ability resolves.

At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player returns a permanent they control to its owner's hand unless they pay 2 life.

Even the most benevolent and life-giving of kami joined the war against the mortal world, but only with heavy and sorrowful hearts.

Bounteous Kirin

Flying
Whenever you play a Spirit or Arcane spell, you may gain life equal to that spell's converted mana cost.

If the Spirit or Arcane spell has {X} in the mana cost, then you use the value of {X} on the stack. For example, Shining Shoal costs {X}{W}{W}. If you choose X = 2, then Shining Shoal’s mana value is 4. Shining Shoal also has an ability that says “You may exile a white card with mana value X from your hand rather than pay Shining Shoal’s mana cost”; if you choose to pay the alternative cost and exile a card with mana value 2, then X is 2 while Shining Shoal is on the stack and its mana value is 4.

Flying
Whenever you cast a Spirit or Arcane spell, you may gain life equal to that spell's mana value.

Burning-Eye Zubera’s ability counts all damage dealt to it this turn, from all sources.

When Burning-Eye Zubera dies, if 4 or more damage was dealt to it this turn, Burning-Eye Zubera deals 3 damage to any target.

"Life is a series of choices between bad and worse."
—Toshiro Umezawa

Choice of Damnations

Target opponent chooses a number. You may have that player lose that much life. If you don't, that player sacrifices all but that many permanents.

After the opponent chooses a number, Choice of Damnations’ controller may choose to make that opponent either lose that much life or make that opponent sacrifice permanents.

If the opponent must sacrifice all but a number of permanents, that opponent chooses that many permanents and then sacrifices the rest. If the number chosen is greater than the number of permanents the opponent controls, the player sacrifices nothing.

Cloudhoof Kirin

Flying
Whenever you play a Spirit or Arcane spell, you may put the top X cards of target player's library into his or her graveyard, where X is that spell's converted mana cost.

Flying
Whenever you cast a Spirit or Arcane spell, you may have target player mill X cards, where X is that spell's mana value.

"Paint gold upon the wind, Shape the wind into a shield, And vanish behind the brightness."

Curtain of Light

Target attacking unblocked creature becomes blocked.
Draw a card.

An attacking unblocked creature exists from the time the defending player chooses not to block that creature until the combat phase ends. Curtain of Light doesn’t have any legal targets outside of the combat phase.

Curtain of Light does trigger bushido abilities.

Curtain of Light isn’t particularly effective against creatures with trample. Since the creature with trample has no blocker to assign damage to, all the damage will be assigned to the defending player.

If a turn has multiple combat phases, this spell can be cast during any of them as long as it’s after the beginning of that phase’s Declare Blockers Step.

Cast this spell only during combat after blockers are declared.
Target unblocked attacking creature becomes blocked. (This spell works on creatures that can't be blocked.)
Draw a card.

"The blood of Kiyomaro flows in my veins. He did not let Eiganjo fall and neither shall I."

Descendant of Kiyomaro

As long as you have more cards in hand than each opponent, Descendant of Kiyomaro gets +1/+2 and has "Whenever this creature deals combat damage, you gain 3 life."

Changing the number of cards in any player’s hand can cause Descendant of Kiyomaro to lose the life-gain triggered ability. Once an ability triggers, however, it exists independently of its source.

If any opponent has more cards or as many cards in hand as Descendant of Kiyomaro’s controller, Descendant of Kiyomaro doesn’t get any bonus.

Descendant of Masumaro

At the beginning of your upkeep, put a +1/+1 counter on Descendant of Masumaro for each card in your hand, then remove a +1/+1 counter from Descendant of Masumaro for each card in target opponent's hand.

All +1/+1 counters on Descendant of Masumaro are removed, including those put on it by other effects.

Descendant of Masumaro’s printed power and toughness is 1/1, so removing all the +1/+1 counters usually doesn’t reduce the creature’s toughness to 0.

The counters are added and then removed without a pause for priority or state-based actions being checked in between.

"Soramaro speaks through me. Listen! And I will tell the wisdom of the ancestors."

Descendant of Soramaro

{1}{U}: Look at the top X cards of your library, where X is the number of cards in your hand, then put them back in any order.

Erayo, Soratami Ascendant // Erayo's Essence

Counter the first spell played by each opponent each turn.

Each Ascendant is legendary in both its unflipped and flipped forms. This means that effects that look for legendary creature cards, such as Time of Need and Captain Sisay, can find an Ascendant.

Erayo’s Essence triggers only for the first spell an opponent casts in a given turn. It doesn’t trigger off any other spell that player casts after the first.

If Erayo, Soratami Ascendant flips while an opponent’s first spell for the turn is still on the stack, the ability of Erayo’s Essence doesn’t trigger because the opponent’s spell has already been cast. The spell isn’t countered.

If you have multiple opponents, Erayo’s Essence can trigger once for each opponent.

Erayo, Soratami Ascendant is banned as a commander in Duel Commander format, but it may be part of your deck.

Whenever an opponent casts their first spell each turn, counter that spell.

Flying
Whenever the fourth spell of a turn is played, flip Erayo, Soratami Ascendant.

Flying
Whenever the fourth spell of a turn is cast, flip Erayo, Soratami Ascendant.

Eternal Dominion

Search target opponent's library for an artifact, creature, enchantment, or land card. Put that card into play under your control. Then that player shuffles his or her library.
Epic (For the rest of the game, you can't play spells. At the beginning of each of your upkeeps, copy this spell except for its epic ability. You may choose a new target for the copy.)

Evermind

(Spells without mana costs can't be played.)
Draw a card.
Evermind is blue.
Splice onto Arcane {1}{U} (As you play an Arcane spell, you may reveal this card from your hand and pay its splice cost. If you do, add this card's effects to that spell.)

Evermind is a blue Arcane instant card. Cards that check whether a card has any of those attributes will affect Evermind. For example, you can exile it (as a blue card) to pay the alternative costs of spells like Force of Will and Disrupting Shoal (X = 0). You could search for it with Mystical Tutor because it's an instant or Eerie Procession because it's an Arcane spell.

Evermind has no mana cost, which means it can't normally be cast as a spell. You could, however, cast it via some alternate means, like with Sunforger or Kaho, Minamo Historian.

If a spell or effect, such as Parallectric Feedback, asks for Evermind's mana value, it's 0.

A card with a splice ability can't be spliced onto itself because the spell is on the stack (and not in your hand) when you reveal the cards you want to splice onto it.

Although originally printed with a characteristic-defining ability that defined its color, this card now has a color indicator. This color indicator can't be affected by text-changing effects (such as the one created by Crystal Spray), although color-changing effects can still overwrite it.

If all of the spell's targets are illegal when the spell tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen.

You choose all targets for the spell after revealing cards you want to splice, including any targets required by the text of any of those cards. You may choose a different target for each instance of the word "target" on the resulting spell.

You reveal all cards you intend to splice at the same time. Each individual card can be spliced only once onto any one spell.

A card with no mana cost can't be cast normally; you'll need a way to cast it for an alternative cost or without paying its mana cost, such as by suspending it.

If a card with no mana cost is given an alternative cost equal to its mana cost (by Snapcaster Mage, for example), that cost cannot be paid and the card cannot be cast this way.

(Nonexistent mana costs can't be paid.)
Draw a card.
Splice onto Arcane {1}{U} (As you cast an Arcane spell, you may reveal this card from your hand and pay its splice cost. If you do, add this card's effects to that spell.)

Exile into Darkness

Target player sacrifices a creature with converted mana cost 3 or less.
At the beginning of your upkeep, if you have more cards in hand than each opponent, you may return Exile into Darkness from your graveyard to your hand.
