Balance

Each player chooses a number of lands he or she controls equal to the number of lands controlled by the player who controls the fewest, then sacrifices the rest. Players discard cards and sacrifice creatures the same way.

Balance doesn't have targets, so permanents that can't be targeted, such as a creature with shroud or protection from white, are valid choices to be sacrificed.

Each type of object is counted during the corresponding part of the process. Cards in hand are counted after lands have been sacrificed, and creatures on the battlefield are counted after cards have been discarded. Thus, a land creature sacrificed to the first part of the spell would not be counted when determining how many creatures are on the battlefield for the last part.

First the player whose turn it is chooses which lands (if any) to keep, then each other player in turn order does the same. Each player will know the choices made by the players who chose before them. All of the unchosen lands are then sacrificed simultaneously. Then the process is repeated for cards in hand, except that no cards are revealed until all players have chosen what to discard, at which point those cards are all discarded simultaneously. Lastly, the process is repeated for creatures, and players will again know earlier choices made when deciding what to sacrifice. All of the unchosen creatures are then sacrificed simultaneously.

Berserk

Cast Berserk only before the combat damage step.
Target creature gains trample and gets +X/+0 until end of turn, where X is its power. At the beginning of the end step, destroy that creature if it attacked this turn.

If the permanent stops being a creature before the end of the turn, it is still destroyed.

Target creature gains trample and gets +X/+0 until end of turn, where X is its power. At the beginning of the next end step, destroy that creature if it attacked this turn.

To some mages, the meaning of life is less important than how much is left.

Channel

Until end of turn, any time you could activate a mana ability, you may pay 1 life. If you do, add {1} to your mana pool.

Once your life total is 0, you can't pay any more life, even if you've somehow not lost the game yet.

Until end of turn, any time you could activate a mana ability, you may pay 1 life. If you do, add {C}.

Gifts Ungiven

Search your library for four cards with different names and reveal them. Target opponent chooses two of those cards. Put the chosen cards into your graveyard and the rest into your hand. Then shuffle your library.

You can choose to find fewer than four cards if you want. If you find one or two cards, your opponent must choose for them to be put into your graveyard, even if they don’t want to.

Search your library for up to four cards with different names and reveal them. Target opponent chooses two of those cards. Put the chosen cards into your graveyard and the rest into your hand. Then shuffle.

At the first sign of enemy scouts, Jula grinned and strapped on his diplomacy helmet.

Goblin Lackey

Whenever Goblin Lackey deals damage to a player, you may put a Goblin permanent card from your hand onto the battlefield.

A Goblin permanent card is an artifact, creature, land, and/or enchantment card with the creature type "Goblin". Usually such cards will be creatures in addition to any other types, but they may be kindred instead. For example, you could put Boggart Shenanigans onto the battlefield with this effect.

Apes can be gentle, contemplative beasts—but context is everything.

Kird Ape

Kird Ape gets +1/+2 as long as you control a Forest.

"Hard to imagine," mused Hanna, stroking the petal, "such a lovely flower inspiring such greed."

The student searches the world for meaning. The master finds worlds of meaning in the search.

Mystical Tutor

Search your library for an instant or sorcery card and reveal that card. Shuffle your library, then put the card on top of it.

The “shuffle and put the card on top” is a single action. If an effect causes the top card of the library to be face up, the second card down is not revealed.

Search your library for an instant or sorcery card, reveal it, then shuffle and put that card on top.

Necropotence

Skip your draw step.
Whenever you discard a card, exile that card from your graveyard.
Pay 1 life: Exile the top card of your library face down. Put that card into your hand at the beginning of your next end step.

If a discarded card isn't put into your graveyard (due to an effect such as that of Obstinate Baloth) or leaves your graveyard (perhaps because another effect returned it to your hand), it won't be exiled.

If you discard a card with madness and wish to cast it, Necropotence's ability won't exile that card. If you don't wish to cast it, you choose whether it ends up exiled or in your graveyard.

Necropotence's last ability creates a delayed triggered ability that will put the exiled card into your hand. That ability still triggers even if Necropotence is removed from the battlefield before your end step.

You can't look at the cards exiled by the last ability while they're face down.

Sensei's Divining Top

{1}: Look at the top three cards of your library, then put them back in any order.
{T}: Draw a card, then put Sensei's Divining Top on top of its owner's library.

If Sensei’s Divining Top leaves the battlefield while its second ability is on the stack, you’ll draw a card and leave Sensei’s Divining Top in the zone it’s moved to.

Sensei’s Divining Top’s second ability may be activated in response to its first ability. If so, you’ll draw a card, put Sensei’s Divining Top on top of your library, and then look at the top three cards and rearrange them.

Summoners of efreeti remember only the power of command, never the sting of regret.

"What separates us from mere beasts is the capacity for self-improvement."

Tinker

As an additional cost to cast Tinker, sacrifice an artifact.
Search your library for an artifact card and put that card onto the battlefield. Then shuffle your library.

Because the “search” requires you to find a card with certain characteristics, you don’t have to find the card if you don’t want to.

As an additional cost to cast this spell, sacrifice an artifact.
Search your library for an artifact card, put that card onto the battlefield, then shuffle.

Designed to restrain petty thoughts, but used to repress entire empires.

Trinisphere

As long as Trinisphere is untapped, each spell that would cost less than three mana to cast costs three mana to cast.

If Trinisphere leaves the battlefield or becomes tapped or untapped as a cost to cast a spell, this cost is paid after you've locked in the total cost.

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. Finally, apply Trinisphere's effect if the mana component of the spell's cost is less than three mana. The mana value of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.

As long as Trinisphere is untapped, each spell that would cost less than three mana to cast costs three mana to cast. (Additional mana in the cost may be paid with any color of mana or colorless mana. For example, a spell that would cost {1}{B} to cast costs {2}{B} to cast instead.)
