Aku Djinn

Trample
During your upkeep, each opponent puts a +1/+1 counter on each creature he or she controls.

Only puts counters on creatures your opponents control, so in the Two-Headed Giant format, won’t put counters on your teammate’s creatures.

Trample
At the beginning of your upkeep, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature each opponent controls.

Anvil of Bogardan

Each player skips his or her discard phase.
During each player's draw phase, that player draws an additional card and then chooses and discards a card.

If the draw part of the effect is skipped due to a replacement effect, the discard part of the effect is not skipped.

If multiple effects modify your hand size, apply them in timestamp order. For example, if you put Null Profusion (an enchantment that says your maximum hand size is two) onto the battlefield and then put Anvil of Bogardan onto the battlefield, you’ll have no maximum hand size. However, if those permanents entered the battlefield in the opposite order, your maximum hand size would be two.

If there are two Anvils on the battlefield, they trigger and resolve separately. This means that you first draw one card and discard one card, and then do it again. You do not draw two cards and then discard two cards.

The triggered ability is put onto the stack after you have already drawn your card for the turn.

Players have no maximum hand size.
At the beginning of each player's draw step, that player draws an additional card, then discards a card.

Betrayal

Play only on a creature an opponent controls.
If enchanted creature becomes tapped, draw a card.

If it ever enchants a creature that isn’t controlled by an opponent of Betrayal’s controller, then it’s put into the graveyard as a State-Based Action.

Enchant creature an opponent controls
Whenever enchanted creature becomes tapped, you draw a card.

Blanket of Night

Each mana-producing land is a swamp in addition to its normal land type.

Anything which counts the number of Swamps on the battlefield will not double count an actual Swamp card while Blanket of Night is on the battlefield.

It can affect lands which do not produce mana.

More than one Blanket of Night has no meaningful additional effect.

The ability is a land type change effect so it is ordered along with other land type change effects in the order they entered the battlefield.

The land can now be tapped for black mana in addition to any other abilities it already has. This works just as if the text “{T}: Add {B}” was added to each mana-producing land. In other words, the land can be tapped for its own ability _or_ it can be tapped for black mana. Not both.

The lands do not get the name “Swamp” in addition to their current name. This is a reversal of older rulings.

Whether the land is a basic land or not is unchanged by this effect.

If this effect is applied to a snow land, the land is now a snow Swamp and not just a regular Swamp.

Each land is a Swamp in addition to its other land types.

Bogardan Phoenix

Flying
If Bogardan Phoenix is put into any graveyard from play and has no death counter on it, return Bogardan Phoenix to play and put a death counter on it.
If Bogardan Phoenix is put into any graveyard from play and has a death counter on it, remove it from the game.

Errata streamlined the trigger and got rid of the replacement effect. In both cases, it will go to the graveyard. In one it will then come back onto the battlefield; in the other it will then be exiled.

Flying
When Bogardan Phoenix dies, exile it if it had a death counter on it. Otherwise, return it to the battlefield under your control and put a death counter on it.

Brass-Talon Chimera

First strike
Brass-Talon Chimera counts as a Chimera.
Sacrifice Brass-Talon Chimera: Put a +2/+2 counter on target Chimera and that Chimera gains first strike permanently.

Breathstealer's Crypt

Whenever any player draws a card, he or she reveals that card. If the card is a creature card, that player pays 3 life or discards the card.

If a player would draw a card, instead they draw a card and reveal it. If it's a creature card, that player discards it unless they pay 3 life.

Brood of Cockroaches

If Brood of Cockroaches is put into your graveyard from play, pay 1 life and return Brood of Cockroaches to your hand at end of turn.

The life loss and the return to hand both happen at the beginning of the end step as a single effect. It is not two separate effects.

When Brood of Cockroaches is put into your graveyard from the battlefield, at the beginning of the next end step, you lose 1 life and return Brood of Cockroaches to your hand.

When Bull Elephant enters the battlefield, sacrifice it unless you return two Forests you control to their owner's hand.

For the chronatog, there is no meal like the present.

"My horizon was the arcing petals, my new home resplendent with spires of weeds and pillows of fragrant pollen."
—Naimah, Femeref philosopher

City of Solitude

Each player may play spells and abilities only during his or her turn.

City of Solitude can affect abilities of cards that are not on the battlefield because it prevents players from activating those abilities.

City of Solitude does not stop triggered abilities from being put on the stack. They are never “activated”.

This stops players from activating mana abilities.

Players can cast spells and activate abilities only during their own turns.

Corrosion

Cumulative upkeep o1
During your upkeep, put a rust counter on each artifact target opponent controls. If the number of rust counters on an artifact equals or exceeds that artifact's casting cost, bury the artifact.
If Corrosion leaves play, remove all rust counters from the game.

In multiplayer games, you can choose a new target player each upkeep.

It does count rust counters put on artifacts by other Corrosion cards. This means that having more than one of these can result in fast destruction of artifacts.

Only puts rust counters on artifacts your opponents control, but destroys all artifacts with rust counters on them, even your own. When it leaves the battlefield, it removes all rust counters, not just those that happen to be on artifacts.

Cumulative upkeep {1} (At the beginning of your upkeep, put an age counter on this permanent, then sacrifice it unless you pay its upkeep cost for each age counter on it.)
At the beginning of your upkeep, put a rust counter on each artifact target opponent controls. Then destroy each artifact with mana value less than or equal to the number of rust counters on it. Artifacts destroyed this way can't be regenerated.

Enchant creature
When enchanted creature dies, its controller loses life equal to its power and you gain life equal to its toughness.

Desertion

Counter target spell. If that spell is an artifact or summon spell, put that card into play under your control as though it were just played.

If the spell is not countered (because the spell it targets can’t be countered), then this card’s ability does not put the card onto the battlefield. The spell continues to resolve as normal.

The card is put onto the battlefield, but any effects that check if the original card was “cast from your hand” will not trigger or otherwise consider the card to have been cast from your hand. The card was put onto the battlefield by the effect of Desertion instead.

This spell includes a replacement effect. If the target is an artifact or creature, it never goes to the graveyard.

Counter target spell. If an artifact or creature spell is countered this way, put that card onto the battlefield under your control instead of into its owner's graveyard.

"Kill a creature, destroy the present. Kill the land, destroy the future."
—Kaervek

Desolation

At the end of each turn, each player who tapped a land for mana during that turn sacrifices a land. If a plains is sacrificed in this way, Desolation deals 2 damage to that plains' controller.

Each Desolation only causes up to one land per turn to be sacrificed. If you have more than one, each will do this.

It works even if it was not on the battlefield when the land was tapped for mana.

At the beginning of each end step, each player who tapped a land for mana this turn sacrifices a land. Desolation deals 2 damage to each player who sacrificed a Plains this way.

Dream Tides

Creatures do not untap during their controllers' untap phase.
Each nongreen creature's controller may pay an additional o2 during his or her upkeep to untap that creature.

You can only untap nongreen creatures once, since this has a beginning of upkeep triggered ability.

Creatures don't untap during their controllers' untap steps.
At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player may choose any number of tapped nongreen creatures they control and pay {2} for each creature chosen this way. If the player does, untap those creatures.

Dwarven Vigilantes

If Dwarven Vigilantes attacks and is not blocked, you may choose to have it deal no combat damage this turn. If you do, Dwarven Vigilantes deals an amount of damage equal to its power to target creature.

An ability that triggers when something “attacks and isn’t blocked” triggers in the declare blockers step after blockers are declared if (1) that creature is attacking and (2) no creatures are declared to block it. It will trigger even if that creature was put onto the battlefield attacking rather than having been declared as an attacker in the declare attackers step.

Whenever Dwarven Vigilantes attacks and isn't blocked, you may have it deal damage equal to its power to target creature. If you do, Dwarven Vigilantes assigns no combat damage this turn.

Black creatures can't attack you.
Nonblack creatures can't attack you unless their controller pays {2} for each creature they control that's attacking you.

Elkin Lair

During each player's upkeep, that player chooses a card at random from his or her hand and sets it aside face up. The player may play that card as though it were in his or her hand. If the player does not play the card by end of turn, bury that card.

You can play the card this turn, not just during the resolution of the ability.

This has the supertype world. When a world permanent enters the battlefield, any world permanents that were already on the battlefield are put into their owners’ graveyards. This is a state-based action called the “world rule.” The new world permanent stays on the battlefield. If two world permanents enter the battlefield at the same time, they’re both put into their owners’ graveyards.

At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player exiles a card at random from their hand. The player may play that card this turn. At the beginning of the next end step, if the player hasn't played the card, they put it into their graveyard.

Emerald Charm

Choose one Untap target permanent; or destroy target global enchantment; or target creature loses flying until end of turn.

Choose one —
• Untap target permanent.
• Destroy target non-Aura enchantment.
• Target creature loses flying until end of turn.

Equipoise

During your upkeep, for each land target player controls in excess of the number of lands you control, target land he or she controls phases out. Repeat this process for artifacts and then for creatures.

In multiplayer games, you can choose a different target player each turn. You can even choose yourself.

You perform the selection and phasing out on lands first, then on artifacts, then on creatures. This means that if you choose an artifact creature during the second pass, your opponent will control one fewer creature when it comes time to perform the third pass.

At the beginning of your upkeep, for each land target player controls in excess of the number you control, choose a land that player controls, then the chosen permanents phase out. Repeat this process for artifacts and creatures. (While they're phased out, they're treated as though they don't exist. They phase in before that player untaps during their next untap step.)

Eye of Singularity

When Eye of Singularity comes into play, bury all permanents with the same name except basic lands.
Whenever any permanent other than a basic land comes into play, bury any permanent already in play with the same name.

If a copy card enters the battlefield, the permanent it is copying is destroyed and the copy card stays on the battlefield.

Since phasing in does not cause enters-the-battlefield ability to trigger, it is possible to phase in a card which is already on the battlefield and not trigger this effect.

When Eye of Singularity enters the battlefield, destroy each permanent with the same name as another permanent, except for basic lands. They can't be regenerated.
Whenever a permanent other than a basic land enters the battlefield, destroy all other permanents with that name. They can't be regenerated.

In troubled times, there are few greater sorrows than a wayward savior.

Femeref Enchantress

Whenever an enchantment is put into any graveyard from play, draw a card.

If it goes to the graveyard, its ability will not trigger because of any Auras on herself unless those Auras are being destroyed by the same effect that is destroying the Enchantress. This is because those Auras are not put into the graveyard until after she is in the graveyard.

Firestorm Hellkite

Paying cumulative upkeep is always optional. If it’s not paid, the permanent with cumulative upkeep is sacrificed. Partial payments of the total cumulative upkeep cost can’t be made. For example, if a permanent with “cumulative upkeep {1}” has three age counters on it when its cumulative upkeep ability triggers, it gets another age counter and then its controller chooses to either pay {4} or sacrifice the permanent.
