Trait Doctoring 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 basic land type of a land is changed, the associated mana ability of that land will also change, but its name will not. For example, if you’ve changed “Plains” to “Island,” a card named Plains will have the basic land type Island and can be tapped for {U}, and it can no longer be tapped for {W}.
- 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.
