@wotcjess.bsky.social @raginglevine.com How are permissions like "may cast [something] for as long as it remains exiled" and "may cast [something] from their hand during a main phase of their turn when the stack is empty" supposed to work when, during 601.2e, the stated condition is no longer true?

Selvala, Explorer Returned is no longer a mana ability

@wotcmatt.bsky.social @wotcjess.bsky.social
Does Sahir, Visitor in darkness's ruling in the release notes not contradict firesong and sunspeakers's?

@wotcmatt.bsky.social @wotcjess.bsky.social The update bulletin states that "Urza's Saga will now enter with zero lore counters instead of one while Blood Moon is on the battlefield." But that doesn't seem supported by 305.7.

@wotcmatt.bsky.social
These two rulings in the release notes for Ambitious Augmenter seem to contradict each otther. And I donb't see why 122.8 wouldn't allow the counters to be put on each token created by the ability.

@wotcmatt.bsky.social @wotcjess.bsky.social Dies the prepared spell affect colour identity of a card? The mechanics article says it never has the characteristics of said spell, so does it function essentially as reminder text for what that spell is?

@wotcmatt.bsky.social @wotcjess.bsky.social How are we supposed to determine which spells and abilities are a single continuous effect that applies in multiple layers and/or sublayers and which are separate continuous effects for the purposes of 613.6?

@wotcjess.bsky.social @wotcmatt.bsky.social Is a copy of a spell cast with sneak supposed to enter attacking? 702.190b seems to indicate that a copy wouldn't enter attacking as it wasn't "cast using sneak" since it wasn't cast at all… But 709.5d has that same issue and apparently works somehow…

@wotcjess.bsky.social @wotcmatt.bsky.social What counts as an "action" for the purposes of 117.4? Revealing and looking at cards are keyword actions defined under 701, but surely looking at your hand, face-down card you control, or any other card you can look at doesn't count as an "action", right?

@wotcjess.bsky.social @wotcmatt.bsky.social Is overload saying "if you chose to pay this spell's overload cost" intentional? It seems weird that copying an opponent’s overloaded spell wouldn't be overloaded(since *you* didn't choose to pay it) and have it fizzle due to having 0 targets chosen for it

@wotcmatt.bsky.social Not sure who the correct person to tell this to is, but the rules links at magic.wizards.com/en/rules are all broken

@wotcmatt.bsky.social Does Zinnias new text of "Creature spells you cast gain offspring {2} as you cast them." Not clash with both 601.2i and 611.3d? The 611.3d issue is minor and only matters if zinnia dies before the spell resolves, but applying offspring after the spell is already announced isn't

@wotcmatt.bsky.social Does energybending give every basic land type in addition to its other types, or does it override the land types? "gains [types]" isn't really defined in the rules and only previously existed for "gains all creature types" where the difference didn't matter.

@magikids.bsky.social If shorika is errata'd to remove the last line that lets if be your commander because of the upcoming commander rule change, would that mean you couldn't use it as a general anymore in oathbreaker?

@wotcmatt.bsky.social Is impending being changes to say "if you chose to pay this spell’s impending cost" functional? Will it enter as a creature if an opponent copies or gains control of the spell?

@wotcmatt.bsky.social Is 800.4d intended to cause the triggered abilities that are prevented from being put onto the stack of a player that has left the game to cease to exist? It doesn't seem to do that and just says they aren't put onto the stack.

@wotcmatt.bsky.social Is 800.4a intended to end the *entire* effect that gives a player control over an object or only cause that effect to stop giving that player control of said object?

@wotcmatt.bsky.social Is there a reason max speed appears to be a state-based action to gain the initial 1 speed when daybound's/nightbound's transform and designation and city's blessings designation all aren't?
