702.32 | Fading | [] | 2,000 |
702.32a | Fading is a keyword that represents two abilities. “Fading N” means “This permanent enters the battlefield with N fade counters on it” and “At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a fade counter from this permanent. If you can’t, sacrifice the permanent.” | [] | 2,001 |
702.33 | Kicker | [] | 2,002 |
702.33a | Kicker is a static ability that functions while the spell with kicker is on the stack. “Kicker [cost]” means “You may pay an additional [cost] as you cast this spell.” Paying a spell’s kicker cost(s) follows the rules for paying additional costs in rules 601.2b and 601.2f–h. | [] | 2,003 |
702.33b | The phrase “Kicker [cost 1] and/or [cost 2]” means the same thing as “Kicker [cost 1], kicker [cost 2].” | [] | 2,004 |
702.33c | Multikicker is a variant of the kicker ability. “Multikicker [cost]” means “You may pay an additional [cost] any number of times as you cast this spell.” A multikicker cost is a kicker cost. | [] | 2,005 |
702.33d | If a spell’s controller declares the intention to pay any of that spell’s kicker costs, that spell has been “kicked.” If a spell has two kicker costs or has multikicker, it may be kicked multiple times. See rule 601.2b. | [] | 2,006 |
702.33e | Objects with kicker or multikicker have additional abilities that specify what happens if they were kicked. These abilities are linked to the kicker or multikicker abilities printed on that object: they can refer only to those specific kicker or multikicker abilities. See rule 607, “Linked Abilities.” | [] | 2,007 |
702.33f | Objects with more than one kicker cost may also have abilities that each correspond to a specific kicker cost. Those abilities contain the phrases “if it was kicked with its [A] kicker” and “if it was kicked with its [B] kicker,” where A and B are the first and second kicker costs listed on the card, respectively. Each of those abilities is linked to the appropriate kicker ability. | [] | 2,008 |
702.33g | If part of a spell’s ability has its effect only if that spell was kicked, and that part of the ability includes any targets, the spell’s controller chooses those targets only if that spell was kicked. Otherwise, the spell is cast as if it did not have those targets. See rule 601.2c. | [] | 2,009 |
702.33h | Sticker kicker is a keyword ability that represents a kicker ability and an ability that imposes an additional cost if the spell is kicked. “Sticker kicker [cost]” means “Kicker [cost]” and “As an additional cost to cast this spell, if it’s kicked, you get a ticket counter and you may put a sticker on this spell.” | [] | 2,010 |
702.34 | Flashback | [] | 2,011 |
702.34a | Flashback appears on some instants and sorceries. It represents two static abilities: one that functions while the card is in a player’s graveyard and another that functions while the card is on the stack. “Flashback [cost]” means “You may cast this card from your graveyard if the resulting spell is an instant or sorcery spell by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost” and “If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack.” Casting a spell using its flashback ability follows the rules for paying alternative costs in rules 601.2b and 601.2f–h. | [] | 2,012 |
702.35 | Madness | [] | 2,013 |
702.35a | Madness is a keyword that represents two abilities. The first is a static ability that functions while the card with madness is in a player’s hand. The second is a triggered ability that functions when the first ability is applied. “Madness [cost]” means “If a player would discard this card, that player discards it, but exiles it instead of putting it into their graveyard” and “When this card is exiled this way, its owner may cast it by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost. If that player doesn’t, they put this card into their graveyard.” | [] | 2,014 |
702.35b | Casting a spell using its madness ability follows the rules for paying alternative costs in rules 601.2b and 601.2f–h. | [] | 2,015 |
702.35c | After resolving a madness triggered ability, if the exiled card wasn’t cast and was moved to a public zone, effects referencing the discarded card can find that card. See rule 400.7k. | [] | 2,016 |
702.36 | Fear | [] | 2,017 |
702.36a | Fear is an evasion ability. | [] | 2,018 |
702.36b | A creature with fear can’t be blocked except by artifact creatures and/or black creatures. (See rule 509, “Declare Blockers Step.”) | [] | 2,019 |
702.36c | Multiple instances of fear on the same creature are redundant. | [] | 2,020 |
702.37 | Morph | [] | 2,021 |
702.37a | Morph is a static ability that functions in any zone from which you could play the card it’s on, and the morph effect works any time the card is face down. “Morph [cost]” means “You may cast this card as a 2/2 face-down creature with no text, no name, no subtypes, and no mana cost by paying {3} rather than paying its mana cost.” (See rule 708, “Face-Down Spells and Permanents.”) | [] | 2,022 |
702.37b | Megamorph is a variant of the morph ability. “Megamorph [cost]” means “You may cast this card as a 2/2 face-down creature with no text, no name, no subtypes, and no mana cost by paying {3} rather than paying its mana cost” and “As this permanent is turned face up, put a +1/+1 counter on it if its megamorph cost was paid to turn it face up.” A megamorph cost is a morph cost. | [] | 2,023 |
702.37c | To cast a card using its morph ability, turn it face down and announce that you’re using a morph ability. It becomes a 2/2 face-down creature card with no text, no name, no subtypes, and no mana cost. Any effects or prohibitions that would apply to casting a card with these characteristics (and not the face-up card’s characteristics) are applied to casting this card. These values are the copiable values of that object’s characteristics. (See rule 613, “Interaction of Continuous Effects,” and rule 707, “Copying Objects.”) Put it onto the stack (as a face-down spell with the same characteristics), and pay {3} rather than pay its mana cost. This follows the rules for paying alternative costs. You can use a morph ability to cast a card from any zone from which you could normally cast it. When the spell resolves, it enters the battlefield with the same characteristics the spell had. The morph effect applies to the face-down object wherever it is, and it ends when the permanent is turned face up. | [] | 2,024 |
702.37d | You can’t normally cast a card face down. A morph ability allows you to do so. | [] | 2,025 |
702.37e | Any time you have priority, you may turn a face-down permanent you control with a morph ability face up. This is a special action; it doesn’t use the stack (see rule 116). To do this, show all players what the permanent’s morph cost would be if it were face up, pay that cost, then turn the permanent face up. (If the permanent wouldn’t have a morph cost if it were face up, it can’t be turned face up this way.) The morph effect on it ends, and it regains its normal characteristics. Any abilities relating to the permanent entering the battlefield don’t trigger when it’s turned face up and don’t have any effect, because the permanent has already entered the battlefield. | [] | 2,026 |
702.37f | If a permanent’s morph cost includes X, other abilities of that permanent may also refer to X. The value of X in those abilities is equal to the value of X chosen as the morph special action was taken. | [] | 2,027 |
702.37g | See rule 708, “Face-Down Spells and Permanents,” for more information about how to cast cards with a morph ability. | [] | 2,028 |
702.38 | Amplify | [] | 2,029 |
702.38a | Amplify is a static ability. “Amplify N” means “As this object enters the battlefield, reveal any number of cards from your hand that share a creature type with it. This permanent enters the battlefield with N +1/+1 counters on it for each card revealed this way. You can’t reveal this card or any other cards that are entering the battlefield at the same time as this card.” | [] | 2,030 |
702.38b | If a creature has multiple instances of amplify, each one works separately. | [] | 2,031 |
702.39 | Provoke | [] | 2,032 |
702.39a | Provoke is a triggered ability. “Provoke” means “Whenever this creature attacks, you may choose to have target creature defending player controls block this creature this combat if able. If you do, untap that creature.” | [] | 2,033 |
702.39b | If a creature has multiple instances of provoke, each triggers separately. | [] | 2,034 |
702.3a | Defender is a static ability. | [] | 2,035 |
702.3b | A creature with defender can’t attack. | [] | 2,036 |
702.3c | Multiple instances of defender on the same creature are redundant. | [] | 2,037 |
702.4 | Double Strike | [] | 2,038 |
702.40 | Storm | [] | 2,039 |
702.40a | Storm is a triggered ability that functions on the stack. “Storm” means “When you cast this spell, copy it for each other spell that was cast before it this turn. If the spell has any targets, you may choose new targets for any of the copies.” | [] | 2,040 |
702.40b | If a spell has multiple instances of storm, each triggers separately. | [] | 2,041 |
702.41 | Affinity | [] | 2,042 |
702.41a | Affinity is a static ability that functions while the spell with affinity is on the stack. “Affinity for [text]” means “This spell costs you {1} less to cast for each [text] you control.” | [] | 2,043 |
702.41b | If a spell has multiple instances of affinity, each of them applies. | [] | 2,044 |
702.42 | Entwine | [] | 2,045 |
702.42a | Entwine is a static ability of modal spells (see rule 700.2) that functions while the spell is on the stack. “Entwine [cost]” means “You may choose all modes of this spell instead of just the number specified. If you do, you pay an additional [cost].” Using the entwine ability follows the rules for choosing modes and paying additional costs in rules 601.2b and 601.2f–h. | [] | 2,046 |
702.42b | If the entwine cost was paid, follow the text of each of the modes in the order written on the card when the spell resolves. | [] | 2,047 |
702.43 | Modular | [] | 2,048 |
702.43a | Modular represents both a static ability and a triggered ability. “Modular N” means “This permanent enters the battlefield with N +1/+1 counters on it” and “When this permanent is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, you may put a +1/+1 counter on target artifact creature for each +1/+1 counter on this permanent.” | [] | 2,049 |
702.43b | If a creature has multiple instances of modular, each one works separately. | [] | 2,050 |
702.44 | Sunburst | [] | 2,051 |
702.44a | Sunburst is a static ability that functions as an object is entering the battlefield. “Sunburst” means “If this object is entering the battlefield as a creature, ignoring any type-changing effects that would affect it, it enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it for each color of mana spent to cast it. Otherwise, it enters the battlefield with a charge counter on it for each color of mana spent to cast it.” | [] | 2,052 |
702.44b | Sunburst adds counters only if the object with sunburst is entering the battlefield from the stack as a resolving spell and only if one or more colored mana was spent on its costs, including additional or alternative costs. | [] | 2,053 |
702.44c | Sunburst can also be used to set a variable number for another ability. If the keyword is used in this way, it doesn’t matter whether the ability is on a creature spell or on a noncreature spell. | [
"The ability “Modular—Sunburst” means “This permanent enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it for each color of mana spent to cast it” and “When this permanent is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, you may put a +1/+1 counter on target artifact creature for each +1/+1 counter on this permanent.”"
] | 2,054 |
702.44d | If an object has multiple instances of sunburst, each one works separately. | [] | 2,055 |
702.45 | Bushido | [] | 2,056 |
702.45a | Bushido is a triggered ability. “Bushido N” means “Whenever this creature blocks or becomes blocked, it gets +N/+N until end of turn.” (See rule 509, “Declare Blockers Step.”) | [] | 2,057 |
702.45b | If a creature has multiple instances of bushido, each triggers separately. | [] | 2,058 |
702.46 | Soulshift | [] | 2,059 |
702.46a | Soulshift is a triggered ability. “Soulshift N” means “When this permanent is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, you may return target Spirit card with mana value N or less from your graveyard to your hand.” | [] | 2,060 |
702.46b | If a permanent has multiple instances of soulshift, each triggers separately. | [] | 2,061 |
702.47 | Splice | [] | 2,062 |
702.47a | Splice is a static ability that functions while a card is in your hand. “Splice onto [quality] [cost]” means “You may reveal this card from your hand as you cast a [quality] spell. If you do, that spell gains the text of this card’s rules text and you pay [cost] as an additional cost to cast that spell.” Paying a card’s splice cost follows the rules for paying additional costs in rules 601.2b and 601.2f–h. | [
"Since the card with splice remains in the player’s hand, it can later be cast normally or spliced onto another spell. It can even be discarded to pay a “discard a card” cost of the spell it’s spliced onto."
] | 2,063 |
702.47b | You can’t choose to use a splice ability if you can’t make the required choices (targets, etc.) for that card’s rules text. You can’t splice any one card onto the same spell more than once. If you’re splicing more than one card onto a spell, reveal them all at once and choose the order in which their effects will happen. The effects of the main spell must happen first. | [] | 2,064 |
702.47c | The spell has the characteristics of the main spell, plus the rules text of each of the spliced cards. This is a text-changing effect (see rule 612, “Text-Changing Effects”). The spell doesn’t gain any other characteristics (name, mana cost, color, supertypes, card types, subtypes, etc.) of the spliced cards. Text gained by the spell that refers to a card by name refers to the spell on the stack, not the card from which the text was copied. | [
"Glacial Ray is a red card with splice onto Arcane that reads, “Glacial Ray deals 2 damage to any target.” Suppose Glacial Ray is spliced onto Reach Through Mists, a blue spell. The spell is still blue, and Reach Through Mists deals the damage. This means that the ability can target a creature with protection from red and deal 2 damage to that creature."
] | 2,065 |
702.47d | Choose targets for the added text normally (see rule 601.2c). Note that a spell with one or more targets won’t resolve if all of its targets are illegal on resolution. | [] | 2,066 |
702.47e | The spell loses any splice changes once it leaves the stack for any reason. | [] | 2,067 |
702.48 | Offering | [] | 2,068 |
702.48a | Offering is a static ability that functions while the spell with offering is on the stack. “[Quality] offering” means “As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may sacrifice a [quality] permanent. If you chose to pay the additional cost, this spell’s total cost is reduced by the sacrificed permanent’s mana cost, and you may cast this spell any time you could cast an instant.” | [] | 2,069 |
702.48b | You choose which permanent to sacrifice as you make choices for the spell (see rule 601.2b), and you sacrifice that permanent as you pay the total cost (see rule 601.2h). | [] | 2,070 |
702.48c | Generic mana in the sacrificed permanent’s mana cost reduces generic mana in the spell’s total cost. Colored and colorless mana in the sacrificed permanent’s mana cost reduces mana of the same type in spell’s total cost, and any excess reduces that much generic mana in spell’s total cost. (See rule 118.7.) | [] | 2,071 |
702.49 | Ninjutsu | [] | 2,072 |
702.49a | Ninjutsu is an activated ability that functions only while the card with ninjutsu is in a player’s hand. “Ninjutsu [cost]” means “[Cost], Reveal this card from your hand, Return an unblocked attacking creature you control to its owner’s hand: Put this card onto the battlefield from your hand tapped and attacking.” | [] | 2,073 |
702.49b | The card with ninjutsu remains revealed from the time the ability is announced until the ability leaves the stack. | [] | 2,074 |
702.49c | A ninjutsu ability may be activated only while a creature on the battlefield is unblocked (see rule 509.1h). The creature with ninjutsu is put onto the battlefield unblocked. It will be attacking the same player, planeswalker, or battle as the creature that was returned to its owner’s hand. | [] | 2,075 |
702.49d | Commander ninjutsu is a variant of the ninjutsu ability that also functions while the card with commander ninjutsu is in the command zone. “Commander ninjutsu [cost]” means “[Cost], Reveal this card from your hand or from the command zone, Return an unblocked attacking creature you control to its owner’s hand: Put this card onto the battlefield tapped and attacking.” | [] | 2,076 |
702.4a | Double strike is a static ability that modifies the rules for the combat damage step. (See rule 510, “Combat Damage Step.”) | [] | 2,077 |
702.4b | If at least one attacking or blocking creature has first strike (see rule 702.7) or double strike as the combat damage step begins, the only creatures that assign combat damage in that step are those with first strike or double strike. After that step, instead of proceeding to the end of combat step, the phase gets a second combat damage step. The only creatures that assign combat damage in that step are the remaining attackers and blockers that had neither first strike nor double strike as the first combat damage step began, as well as the remaining attackers and blockers that currently have double strike. After that step, the phase proceeds to the end of combat step. | [] | 2,078 |
702.4c | Removing double strike from a creature during the first combat damage step will stop it from assigning combat damage in the second combat damage step. | [] | 2,079 |
702.4d | Giving double strike to a creature with first strike after it has already dealt combat damage in the first combat damage step will allow the creature to assign combat damage in the second combat damage step. | [] | 2,080 |
702.4e | Multiple instances of double strike on the same creature are redundant. | [] | 2,081 |
702.5 | Enchant | [] | 2,082 |
702.50 | Epic | [] | 2,083 |
702.50a | Epic represents two spell abilities, one of which creates a delayed triggered ability. “Epic” means “For the rest of the game, you can’t cast spells,” and “At the beginning of each of your upkeeps for the rest of the game, copy this spell except for its epic ability. If the spell has any targets, you may choose new targets for the copy.” See rule 707.10. | [] | 2,084 |
702.50b | A player can’t cast spells once a spell with epic they control resolves, but effects (such as the epic ability itself) can still put copies of spells onto the stack. | [] | 2,085 |
702.51 | Convoke | [] | 2,086 |
702.51a | Convoke is a static ability that functions while the spell with convoke is on the stack. “Convoke” means “For each colored mana in this spell’s total cost, you may tap an untapped creature of that color you control rather than pay that mana. For each generic mana in this spell’s total cost, you may tap an untapped creature you control rather than pay that mana.” | [] | 2,087 |
702.51b | The convoke ability isn’t an additional or alternative cost and applies only after the total cost of the spell with convoke is determined. | [
"Heartless Summoning says, in part, “Creature spells you cast cost {2} less to cast.” You control Heartless Summoning and cast Siege Wurm, a spell with convoke that costs {5}{G}{G}. The total cost to cast Siege Wurm is {3}{G}{G}. After activating mana abilities, you pay that total cost. You may tap up to two green creatures and up to three other creatures to pay that cost, and the remainder is paid with mana."
] | 2,088 |
702.51c | A creature tapped to pay for mana in a spell’s total cost this way is said to have “convoked” that spell. | [] | 2,089 |
702.51d | Multiple instances of convoke on the same spell are redundant. | [] | 2,090 |
702.52 | Dredge | [] | 2,091 |
702.52a | Dredge is a static ability that functions only while the card with dredge is in a player’s graveyard. “Dredge N” means “As long as you have at least N cards in your library, if you would draw a card, you may instead mill N cards and return this card from your graveyard to your hand.” | [] | 2,092 |
702.52b | A player with fewer cards in their library than the number required by a dredge ability can’t mill any of them this way. | [] | 2,093 |
702.53 | Transmute | [] | 2,094 |
702.53a | Transmute is an activated ability that functions only while the card with transmute is in a player’s hand. “Transmute [cost]” means “[Cost], Discard this card: Search your library for a card with the same mana value as the discarded card, reveal that card, and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library. Activate only as a sorcery.” | [] | 2,095 |
702.53b | Although the transmute ability can be activated only if the card is in a player’s hand, it continues to exist while the object is on the battlefield and in all other zones. Therefore objects with transmute will be affected by effects that depend on objects having one or more activated abilities. | [] | 2,096 |
702.54 | Bloodthirst | [] | 2,097 |
702.54a | Bloodthirst is a static ability. “Bloodthirst N” means “If an opponent was dealt damage this turn, this permanent enters the battlefield with N +1/+1 counters on it.” | [] | 2,098 |
702.54b | “Bloodthirst X” is a special form of bloodthirst. “Bloodthirst X” means “This permanent enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters on it, where X is the total damage your opponents have been dealt this turn.” | [] | 2,099 |
