As Gerrard's form vanished into the maw of trees, Hanna mouthed a silent plea, mourning a crushed dream.

Abandon Hope

Choose and discard X cards: Look at target opponent's hand and choose X of those cards. That player discards the chosen cards.

As an additional cost to cast this spell, discard X cards.

"It is not that you will go mad. It is that you will beg for madness."
—Volrath

Altar of Dementia

Sacrifice a creature: Target player puts a number of cards equal to that creature's power from the top of his or her library into his or her graveyard.

If the target player's library contains fewer cards than the sacrificed creature's power, all of those cards are put into that player's graveyard. That player won't lose the game until they try to draw from the empty library.

The number of cards the target player puts into their graveyard is equal to the power of the sacrificed creature as it last existed on the battlefield.

Sacrifice a creature: Target player mills cards equal to the sacrificed creature's power.

Squee bounced up and down. "I sees a horsey, an' a piggy, an' a—"
"If you don't shut up," hissed Mirri, "you'll see a kidney and a spleeny."

Aluren

Any player may play a creature card with total casting cost 3 or less whenever he or she could play an instant and without paying its casting cost.

Aluren checks the actual printed cost on the creature card, and is not affected by things which allow you to cast the spell for less.

The mana cost of the creatures being cast is still the stated cost on the card, even though you did not pay the cost.

You can’t choose to cast a creature as though it had flash via Aluren and still pay the mana cost. You either cast the creature normally, or via Aluren without paying the mana cost.

You can’t use Aluren when casting a creature using another alternate means, such as the Morph ability.

If creature with X in its cost is cast this way, X can only be 0.

Any player may cast creature spells with mana value 3 or less without paying their mana costs and as though they had flash.

Ertai volunteered to open the portal. He figured he owed it one.

Ancient Runes

During each player's upkeep, Ancient Runes deals 1 damage to that player for each artifact he or she controls.

At the beginning of each player's upkeep, Ancient Runes deals damage to that player equal to the number of artifacts they control.

Angelic Protector

Flying
If Angelic Protector is the target of a spell or ability, it gets +0/+3 until end of turn.

The ability triggers when Angelic Protector is chosen as a target for a spell or ability. The Protectors ability will be put on the stack above that spell or ability, and so resolve first.

Flying
Whenever Angelic Protector becomes the target of a spell or ability, Angelic Protector gets +0/+3 until end of turn.

Hanna: "We must learn how they protect each other."
Mirri: "After they're done trying to kill us, all right?"

Armor Sliver

Each Sliver gains "o2: This creature gets +0/+1 until end of turn."

Abilities that Slivers grant, as well as power/toughness boosts, are cumulative. However, for some abilities, like flying, having more than one instance of the ability doesn’t provide any additional benefit.

If the creature type of a Sliver changes so it’s no longer a Sliver, it will no longer be affected by its own ability. Its ability will continue to affect other Sliver creatures.

All Sliver creatures have "{2}: This creature gets +0/+1 until end of turn."

"I always charge a little extra to take on a pegasus. They fly like eagles, kick like mules, and hide like hermits."

Armored Pegasus

Auratog

Sacrifice an enchantment: Auratog gets +2/+2 until end of turn.

Avenging Angel

Flying
If Avenging Angel is put into any graveyard from play, you may put Avenging Angel on top of owner's library.

This has been restored as a triggered ability that triggers when it is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, rather than a replacement effect. The Angel does go to the graveyard, and will trigger any other abilities that look for this event.

Flying
When Avenging Angel dies, you may put it on top of its owner's library.

Spans of spines leapt from one sliver to the next, forming a deadly hedge around the *Weatherlight*.

"You are wrong," Volrath said. "I do not hate the living. They often prove quite useful to me." And then he laughed.

Blood Pet

Sacrifice Blood Pet: Add o
B to your mana pool. Play this ability as a mana source.

Because combat damage resolves immediately after it is assigned, you cannot sacrifice Blood Pet in between assigning and dealing combat damage. The last chance you have to sacrifice it before combat damage is dealt is during the Declare Blockers step.

"The fishers will throw out their nets and draw them back filled with dust."

Boil

Booby Trap

When Booby Trap comes into play, name a card other than a basic land.
Whenever target opponent draws any cards, he or she reveals those cards to all players. If any of those cards is the named card, Sacrifice Booby Trap and it deals 10 damage to that player.

The “if you do” part is only done if you successfully sacrifice this card. In other words, it has to be on the battlefield when the trigger resolves or it does not deal damage.

If Booby Trap’s last ability is countered, Booby Trap remains on the battlefield (and no damage is dealt).

If a single Booby Trap’s ability triggers multiple times, then only the first ability to resolve causes Booby Trap to be sacrificed and damage to be dealt.

If an effect causes the player to draw multiple cards, each card is revealed as it’s drawn. If Booby Trap’s ability triggers, it will go on the stack once the card-drawing effect has concluded.

The choice of which card to name is part of the resolution of the spell or ability which puts Booby Trap onto the battlefield. It can’t be countered.

As Booby Trap enters, choose an opponent and a card name other than a basic land card name.
The chosen player reveals each card they draw.
When the chosen player draws a card with the chosen name, sacrifice Booby Trap. If you do, Booby Trap deals 10 damage to that player.

Canopy Spider

Canopy Spider can block creatures with flying.

Bo
B: Remove Carrionette and target creature from the game. That creature's controller may pay o2 to counter this ability. Use this ability only if Carrionette is in your graveyard.

A creature with Protection from Creatures can’t be targeted by this card’s ability.

Since it is exiled as part of the effect and not part of the cost, you can activate its ability more than once.

{2}{B}{B}: Exile Carrionette and target creature unless that creature's controller pays {2}. Activate only if Carrionette is in your graveyard.

Chaotic Goo

Chaotic Goo comes into play with three +1/+1 counters on it.

Circle of Protection: Black

o1: Prevent all damage to you from a black source. (Treat further damage from that source normally.)

A source of damage is a permanent, a spell on the stack (including one that creates a permanent), or any object referred to by an object on the stack. A source doesn’t need to be capable of dealing damage to be a legal choice.

Can be used even when there is no damage to prevent. It prevents the next damage (if any) from the source this turn.

o2o
B, oc
T: Put target creature card from any graveyard into play under your control. Remove that creature from the game if Coffin Queen becomes untapped or if you lose control of Coffin Queen.

If the creature put onto the battlefield leaves the battlefield, the tracking effect ends and the creature will no longer be exiled if something happens to the Coffin Queen.

If the creature put onto the battlefield phases out, the tracking effect continues when it phases back in if the Coffin Queen is still on the battlefield. If the Queen left the battlefield while the creature was phased out, the creature phases in as normal.

If Coffin Queen leaves the battlefield before its ability resolves, the delayed trigger condition can never be fulfilled, so the creature will not be exiled. If Coffin Queen is untapped when its ability resolves, the creature will not be exiled until the next time Coffin Queen becomes untapped.

You may choose not to untap Coffin Queen during your untap step.
{2}{B}, {T}: Put target creature card from a graveyard onto the battlefield under your control. When Coffin Queen becomes untapped or you lose control of Coffin Queen, exile that creature.

{3}: Exile target creature you control.
Sacrifice Cold Storage: Return each creature card exiled with Cold Storage to the battlefield under your control.
