Zilean + Deceiver (no infinite token loop)
When Deceiver's reflexive trigger copies Zilean, Time Mage, the two Reflection tokens resolve and become copies of Zilean. However, there is no subsequent 'play token' game action for Zilean's replacement effect to apply to, so no further tokens are produced and the loop does not repeat. Citaat uit de bron: “there is no subsequent play game action involving tokens to apply their replacement effects to”
Recalling a unit to base via Zhonya's Hourglass is explicitly not considered a move.
“Send it to base. This isn't a move.”
Rell, Magnetic
Rell, Magnetic is revised to use a reflexive trigger for Equipment attachment: when she attacks and you play a qualifying Equipment for free, 'then do this:' attaches it to her as a separate chain item, allowing players to respond before the attachment resolves. Citaat uit de bron: “If you do, then do this: Attach it to me.”
During the Beginning Phase, each player channels 2 Runes from the top of their Rune Deck; the second player channels 3 Runes on their very first turn to compensate for going second.
“If you're going second on your very first turn, you get 3 Runes instead to help catch up.”
Arise!
Arise! is revised to use a reflexive trigger: it first plays a 2 [M] Sand Soldier unit token for each Equipment you control, then 'Then do this:' readies up to two of them, allowing players to respond between the two effects. Citaat uit de bron: “Play a 2 [M] Sand Soldier unit token for each Equipment you control. Then do this: Ready up to two of them.”
Action Spells may be played during the controller's turn or during a Showdown; on an opponent's turn, a player may only play Action Spells during Showdowns.
“Most Spells are labeled Action, which means you can play them during your turn or during a Showdown. If it's not your turn, you can only play Action Spells during Showdowns.”
Deflect
Deflect is a mandatory additional cost: you must pay it if you want to finalize a spell or ability that chooses a unit with Deflect. The fact that you can choose not to finalize triggered abilities (to avoid paying) does not make the cost optional. Ezreal, Prodigy cannot reduce Deflect costs. Citaat uit de bron: “Deflect is a mandatory additional cost, meaning you must pay it if you want to finalize a spell or ability that chooses something with Deflect.”
A unit's Might value represents both the damage it deals in combat and the total damage it can absorb before being destroyed.
“Might... this number shows how much damage they deal AND how much they can take”
Icathian Rain
Icathian Rain is no longer a reflexive trigger. All six targets are chosen upfront before anything resolves; the opponent can react before resolution; then each chosen unit takes 2 damage on resolution. The same unit may be chosen for multiple instances. Citaat uit de bron: “you pick all the targets up front, the other player can react before any of it resolves, and then each of the units affected take the damage on resolution”
Each Battlefield can only award 1 point per turn; moving a unit away and replacing it with another unit in the same turn does not grant additional points.
“Moving away from a battlefield and back to it with another unit the same turn will not gain you a bonus point.”
“Each Battlefield only gives you 1 point per turn max. You can't move a unit away and move a new one in to score twice.”
Falling Star
Falling Star is no longer a reflexive trigger. All targets are chosen upfront before anything resolves; the opponent can react before resolution; then each chosen unit takes 3 damage on resolution. The same unit may be chosen for both instances. Citaat uit de bron: “you pick all the targets up front, the other player can react before any of it resolves, and then each of the units affected take the damage on resolution”
A player's main deck may only contain cards belonging to the domains listed on their Champion Legend card.
“her deck must only contain cards of the Mind and Order domain”
Repulse vs Alpha Strike (targeting arrow count)
Repulse counts all targeting relationships ('arrows') pointing from a spell to friendly units, regardless of whether those targets currently meet the spell's targeting restrictions. Units moved to base by Flash are still targeted by Alpha Strike (arrows are 'grayed out' but present), so Repulse counts them and cannot counter Alpha Strike unless all remaining targeted units have moved to a non-board zone. Citaat uit de bron: “Repulse cares about the number of those arrows that point to friendly units, not the color of the arrows.”
Gear cards enter play in the Ready state (not Exhausted), so they can be used immediately; Gear always enters at the controller's Base.
“Gear cannot hold or conquer battlefields, and can only exist in base. If a Gear card is played at a battlefield, it is immediately recalled to the base.”
“Gear enters play Ready, so you can use it right away. It always goes to your Base.”
Repeat
Repeat causes you to repeat execution of a spell's 'instructions,' which are the things the spell tells you to do as it resolves. It does not repeat costs or cost reductions—only the resolution instructions. Citaat uit de bron: “Repeat causes you to repeat execution of a spell's 'instructions,' which are the things the spell tells you to do as it resolves”
Units with the Ganking ability may move directly from one Battlefield to another, whereas normal units can only move between their controller's Base and a Battlefield.
“only units with the Ganking ability may move between battlefields”
“Some units have Ganking though, which lets them move from Battlefield to Battlefield.”
Reckoner's Arena
Reckoner's Arena's activate effect simulates a conquer event without an actual conquer occurring. Because the card specifies units, only units with conquer effects at Reckoner's Arena see this conquer event and can potentially trigger. Citaat uit de bron: “Reckoner's Arena's case it specifies units, so only units with conquer effects at Reckoner's Arena will see this conquer event”
When an Attacker destroys all Defending units and still has units remaining, they conquer the Battlefield and immediately score 1 point; additionally, every time a Battlefield is conquered without winning the game, the conquering player draws a card.
“every time you conquer a Battlefield but it doesn't win you the game, you get to draw a card”
Accelerate
Accelerate creates a delayed replacement effect that causes the card to enter ready. This delayed replacement effect persists on the card even after the Accelerate keyword itself is no longer present when the card resolves. Citaat uit de bron: “Accelerate creates a delayed replacement effect that causes Atakhan to enter ready. Although he lacks the Accelerate keyword when he resolves, he still has the delayed replacement effect”
Signature Cards are Legend-specific cards that can only be included in a deck matching their designated Legend, with a maximum of 3 total Signature Cards permitted across the entire deck.
“You can only use them with their matching Legend, and you can't put more than 3 total Signature Cards in your deck.”
Svellsongur
When Svellsongur is attached to Aphelios, Exalted, he gains a second copy of his triggered ability in time for both copies to trigger on that attach. The 'choose one that hasn't been chosen this turn' restriction applies separately to each instance of the ability, so the same option can be chosen for both, but tracking must be kept per-copy. Citaat uit de bron: “He does have the second copy of his ability in time, and it will trigger. The 'one that hasn't been chosen this turn' restriction applies separately to each instance of his ability.”
Even when no enemy units are present during a Showdown, both players may still play Actions and Reactions in an attempt to remove the attacking units.
“Even if there are no enemy units, players may still play Actions and Reactions to try and remove the attacking units.”
Find Your Center
When Find Your Center is given Repeat via Temporal Portal, its cost reduction applies only once (to the base cost, not to the Repeat cost). The final spell costs 4: base cost 3, plus Repeat cost 3, minus the single cost reduction of 2. Citaat uit de bron: “Find Your Center's cost reduction applies only once and the final spell costs 4—its base cost of 3, plus its Repeat cost of 3, minus its cost reduction of 2”
Ravenborn Tome's Bonus Damage effect now applies only to the next spell played 'this turn,' preventing the bonus from carrying forward to future turns.
“The next spell you play this turn deals 1 Bonus Damage.”
Score at/above Victory Score (§466.1)
Per rule 466.1.b, when a player tries to gain a point through a Score and their current total is one point from the Victory Score or higher, every such point becomes the 'final point': if from Conquering, the player draws 1 instead of gaining the point, unless they have scored each battlefield that turn. Citaat uit de bron: “every point at or above the Victory Score becomes the final point”
Draven, Vanquisher
Draven, Vanquisher reads 'When I attack or defend, you may pay [C]. If you do, …' — because 'you may pay [C]' does not fall in the expected cost-within-instructions sequence position, the resource payment is not the base cost of the triggered ability. It is paid on resolution of the ability (not during finalization) and functions as a game action checked by 'if you do', not as a cost. Citaat uit de bron: “those resources are not a cost and are paid on resolution of the ability and not finalization.”
Brush – Swap Back (§438.1)
When a Brush token is swapped back, the Brush token ceases to exist. A player can choose to swap back to any object that was replaced, including the original battlefield, because a replacing game object inherits all statuses and conditions of the game object it replaced (438.1). Citaat uit de bron: “The Brush token will cease to exist. When swapping back, a player can choose to swap back to any object that was replaced, including the original battlefield.”
Jax, Unmatched
Jax's Equipment everywhere have Quick-Draw: each gains [Reaction], meaning when you play it, you attach it to a unit you control. This is captured in the revised text. Citaat uit de bron: “Your Equipment everywhere have [Quick-Draw]. (Each gains [Reaction]. When you play it, attach it to a unit you control.)”
Jhin, Meticulous Killer + countered spell (Singularity)
Jhin checks whether energy was spent to play a spell and whether it became a Finalized Chain Item—not whether it resolved. If Singularity is countered after being finalized, the energy was spent and Jhin's [C] cost condition is satisfied, allowing Jhin to be played for [C] that turn. Citaat uit de bron: “Jhin checks the energy spent to play a spell, not whether that spell resolved.”
Mandatory Actions and Private Information
A player cannot be compelled to perform an action on cards whose privacy is secret or private if that action specifies a type or quality of card. If such an effect would compel this, the player may ignore it instead. This means Rift Herald's Deathknell cannot force an opponent to play a unit from hand. Citaat uit de bron: “A player cannot be compelled to perform an action on cards whose privacy is secret or private if that action specifies a type or quality of card.”
