Stranglehold Rulings
- Sep 22, 2011
An “extra turn” means a turn created by a spell or ability. It doesn’t refer to a turn taken in a sanctioned tournament after the time limit for the round has expired.
- Sep 22, 2011
Effects that instruct your opponents to reveal or look at cards from the top of their libraries will still work. Only effects that use the word “search” are affected.
- Sep 22, 2011
If an effect says “Search your library . . . then shuffle your library,” your opponents shuffle their libraries even though they can’t search.
- Sep 22, 2011
If an effect says “You may search your library . . . If you do, shuffle your library” or “You may search your library . . . then shuffle your library,” your opponents can’t choose to search, so they won’t shuffle.
- Sep 22, 2011
If an opponent’s extra turn is created while Stranglehold is on the battlefield, but Stranglehold leaves the battlefield before that turn would begin, that opponent takes the extra turn as normal.
