Mental Vapors Rulings

  • Apr 15, 2013

    If a creature with an encoded card deals combat damage to more than one player simultaneously (perhaps because some of the combat damage was redirected), the triggered ability will trigger once for each player it deals combat damage to. Each ability will create a copy of the exiled card and allow you to cast it.

  • Apr 15, 2013

    If another player gains control of the creature, that player will control the triggered ability. That player will create a copy of the encoded card and may cast it.

  • Apr 15, 2013

    If the creature leaves the battlefield, the exiled card will no longer be encoded on any creature. It will stay exiled.

  • Apr 15, 2013

    If the spell with cipher doesn’t resolve, none of its effects will happen, including cipher. The card will go to its owner’s graveyard and won’t be encoded on a creature.

  • Apr 15, 2013

    If you choose not to cast the copy, or you can’t cast it (perhaps because there are no legal targets available), the copy will cease to exist the next time state-based actions are performed. You won’t get a chance to cast the copy at a later time.
