Knife and Death Rules Text & Legality
Just a second (As long as this spell is on the stack, players can't move permanents.)
One at a time, throw ten cards you own from outside the game onto the playing area from a distance of at least three feet (about one meter). For each of those cards, Knife and Death deals 1 damage to each creature or planeswalker you don't control that card is touching. You gain life equal to the damage dealt this way.

Knife and Death Rulings
- Oct 7, 2022
Card sleeves are considered part of the card. If a thrown card (or its own card sleeve) is touching another card’s sleeve, it is considered touching that card.
- Oct 7, 2022
If a thrown card ends up touching more than one creature or planeswalker you don’t control, Knife and Death will deal 1 damage to each of them. You’ll gain 1 life for each of them. Knife and Death won’t deal damage to creatures or planeswalkers you control that get hit, and you won’t gain life for them either.
- Oct 7, 2022
If one of the cards ends up touching the object used to represent a creature or planeswalker token an opponent controls, Knife and Death will deal damage to it.
- Oct 7, 2022
Just a second is a variant of split second. Announcing Knife and Death instantly locks all permanents in place on the battlefield. As long as Knife and Death is on the stack, players can’t cast spells, activate abilities, or move their permanents.
- Oct 7, 2022
Knife and Death considers only the creatures and planeswalkers any of the ten cards are touching after you have thrown the tenth card and all cards stop moving. It’s possible that a card will land touching a creature but then will be knocked off that creature by a later throw. That is, assess damage only after all knives . . . er, cards have been thrown.
