Prepare // Fight Rulings
- Jul 14, 2017 Once you've started to cast a spell with aftermath from your graveyard, the card is immediately moved to the stack. Opponents can't try to stop the ability by exiling the card with an effect such as that of Crook of Condemnation.
- Apr 18, 2017 A spell with aftermath cast from a graveyard will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, it's countered, or it leaves the stack in some other way.
- Apr 18, 2017 All split cards have two card faces on a single card, and you put a split card onto the stack with only the half you're casting. The characteristics of the half of the card you didn't cast are ignored while the spell is on the stack. For example, if an effect prevents you from casting green spells, you can cast Destined of Destined // Lead, but not Lead.
- Apr 18, 2017 Any damage dealt by a creature you control with lifelink causes you to gain that much life, not just combat damage.
- Apr 18, 2017 Each split card has two names. If an effect instructs you to choose a card name, you may choose one, but not both.
