Library of Leng Rulings

  • Oct 1, 2009

    If multiple effects modify your hand size, apply them in timestamp order. For example, if you put Null Profusion (an enchantment that says your maximum hand size is two) onto the battlefield and then put Library of Leng onto the battlefield, you'll have no maximum hand size. However, if those permanents entered in the opposite order, your maximum hand size would be two.

  • Oct 4, 2004

    If more than one card is discarded due to a single effect, the Library allows you to decide whether or not to use it on each of the cards. You get to decide the order the cards are placed on the library if more than one goes there.

  • Oct 4, 2004

    Since the card goes directly to the library, the card is not revealed unless the spell or ability requiring the discard specifically says it is.

  • Oct 4, 2004

    The ability applies any time a spell or ability has you discard as part of its effect. It does not matter if you or your opponent control the spell or ability. The discard is forced because it is an effect.

  • Oct 4, 2004

    The ability replaces the normal discard action with a discard action that puts the card on the library instead of the graveyard.
