Emperor of Bones is legal in Modern, Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Standard, Pioneer and Pauper.

Emperor of Bones Rulings

  • Jun 7, 2024

    Finality counters aren't keyword counters, and a finality counter doesn't give any abilities to the permanent it's on. If that permanent loses its abilities and then would go to a graveyard, it will still be exiled instead.

  • Jun 7, 2024

    Finality counters don't stop permanents from going to zones other than the graveyard from the battlefield. For example, if a permanent with a finality counter on it would be put into its owner's hand from the battlefield, it does so normally.

  • Jun 7, 2024

    If a creature somehow loses all of its +1/+1 counters, it can adapt again and get more +1/+1 counters.

  • Jun 7, 2024

    If any permanent with a finality counter on it would go to a graveyard from the battlefield, exile it instead.

  • Jun 7, 2024

    Multiple finality counters on a single permanent are redundant.
