Council Guardian Rulings
5 most recent
- May 29, 2014 Because the votes are cast in turn order, each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.
- May 29, 2014 If Council Guardian is not on the battlefield when its ability resolves, the vote will still take place; it simply won't have any effect. However, cards that care about voting (for example, Grudge Keeper) will still see the vote.
- May 29, 2014 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.
- May 29, 2014 Players can't do anything after they finish voting but before the spell or ability that included the vote finishes resolving.
- May 29, 2014 The phrase "the vote is tied" refers only to when there is more than one choice that received the most votes. For example, if a 5-player vote from among three different choices ends 3 votes to 1 vote to 1 vote, the vote isn't tied.
