  • WotCJun 23, 2020

    Each Shrine has an ability that counts the number of Shrines you control. These abilities include the Shrine they're printed on.

  • WotCJun 23, 2020

    If Sanctum of Calm Waters leaves the battlefield while its ability is on the stack, you may control no Shrines as the ability resolves. If so, you may choose to draw zero cards and discard one, or you may choose not to draw zero cards and not discard a card.

  • WotCJun 23, 2020

    Shrines count only enchantments with the subtype Shrine. Other cards with “shrine” in their name (such as Jungle Shrine, Luxa River Shrine, and Nantuko Shrine) don't count.

  • WotCJun 23, 2020

    You draw X cards and discard a card all while the triggered ability is resolving. Nothing can happen between the two, and no player may choose to take actions.
