Strange Inversion Rulings

5 most recent
  • Mar 19, 2021 Because damage remains marked on a creature until the damage is removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to a creature may become lethal if you switch its power and toughness during that turn.
  • Mar 19, 2021 Effects that switch a creature's power and toughness apply after all other effects, regardless of when those effects began to apply. For instance, if you target a 1/2 creature then give it +2/+0 later in the turn, it's a 2/3 creature, not a 4/1 creature.
  • Mar 19, 2021 Switching a creature's power and toughness twice (or any even number of times) effectively returns the creature to the power and toughness it had before any switches.
  • Jun 7, 2013 A card with a splice ability can't be spliced onto itself because the spell is on the stack (and not in your hand) when you reveal the cards you want to splice onto it.
  • Jun 7, 2013 If all of the spell's targets are illegal when the spell tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen.
