  • WotCFeb 1, 2014

    If Mindreaver leaves the battlefield, and later another Mindreaver enters the battlefield, it is a new object (even if the two were represented by the same card). The last ability of the second Mindreaver doesn’t refer to any cards exiled with the first one.

  • WotCFeb 1, 2014

    The cards are exiled face up. All players can look at them.

  • WotCSep 15, 2013

    Heroic abilities will resolve before the spell that caused them to trigger.

  • WotCSep 15, 2013

    Heroic abilities will trigger only once per spell, even if that spell targets the creature with the heroic ability multiple times.

  • WotCSep 15, 2013

    Heroic abilities won’t trigger when a copy of a spell is created on the stack or when a spell’s targets are changed to include a creature with a heroic ability.
