Chaos Orb Rulings

  • Jan 27, 2019

    If you are playing Chaos Orb in the Old School format, the card's text is “{1}, {T}: Choose a nontoken permanent on the battlefield. If Chaos Orb is on the battlefield, flip Chaos Orb onto the battlefield from a height of at least one foot. If Chaos Orb turns over completely at least once during the flip, and lands resting on the chosen permanent, destroy that permanent. Then destroy Chaos Orb.”

  • Oct 4, 2004

    Chaos Orb can only affect permanents. Cards that are in the game but not on the battlefield, such as those in the Library and Graveyard, can't be affected.

  • Oct 4, 2004

    If you have sleeves on cards, they count as the cards.

  • Oct 4, 2004

    It must flip 360 degrees (that's what "flip" means). And this flip must be in the air and not in your hand.

  • Oct 4, 2004

    This is a not a targeted ability.
