• Aug 23, 2016 Because the votes are made in turn order, each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.
• Aug 23, 2016 Each opponent chooses an appropriate number of creatures to sacrifice in turn order, then all of those creatures are sacrificed simultaneously. After that is complete, each opponent sets aside an appropriate number of cards to discard in turn order, then all cards are revealed and discarded simultaneously.
• Aug 23, 2016 If a creature with an enters-the-battlefield council’s dilemma ability leaves the battlefield before that ability resolves, players can still vote for any option that would put +1/+1 counters on that creature, even though—or perhaps especially because—those votes won’t generate an effect.
• Aug 23, 2016 If an opponent controls fewer creatures or has fewer cards in hand than the number of appropriate votes, all those creatures are sacrificed or all those cards are discarded, as applicable.
• Aug 23, 2016 No player votes until the spell or ability resolves. Any responses to that spell or ability must be made without knowing the outcome of the vote.
