Netherese Puzzle-Ward Rulings

5 most recent
  • Jul 23, 2021 An ability that tells you to roll a die will also specify what to do with the result of that roll. Most often, this is in the form of a "results table" in the card text.
  • Jul 23, 2021 An effect that says "choose a target, then roll a d20" or similar still uses the normal process of putting an ability on the stack and resolving it. Choosing targets is part of putting the ability on the stack and rolling the d20 happens later, as the ability resolves.
  • Jul 23, 2021 Any die roll that is ignored, such as from Pixie Guide's effect, will not cause the Perfect Illumination ability to trigger.
  • Jul 23, 2021 Dice are identified by the number of faces each one has. For example, a d20 is a twenty-sided die.
  • Jul 23, 2021 Dice used must have equally likely outcomes and the roll must be fair. Although physical dice are recommended, digital substitutes are allowed, provided they have the same number of equally likely outcomes as specified in the original roll instruction.
