Cruel Entertainment Rulings
5 most recent
- Nov 8, 2016 Controlling a player doesn’t allow the controlling player to look at the controlled player’s sideboard. If an effect instructs that player to choose a card from outside the game, the controlling player can’t have that player choose a card.
- Nov 8, 2016 Cruel Entertainment’s controller may be one of its targets, even if it’s less entertaining this way.
- Nov 8, 2016 If a player who would be controlled skips their next turn, the other player will control the next turn the affected player actually takes.
- Nov 8, 2016 If one player loses the game before controlling the other player, the other player takes their turn normally.
- Nov 8, 2016 Multiple player-controlling effects that affect the same player overwrite each other. The last one to be created is the one that works.
