Rulings
  • WotCJan 19, 2018

    There are many important moments in the story, but the most crucial—called “story spotlights”—are shown on cards. These cards have the Planeswalker symbol in their text box; this symbol has no effect on gameplay. You can read more about these events in the official Magic fiction at http://www.mtgstory.com.

  • WotCApr 18, 2017

    The enchanted player can’t choose to lose 5 life if they have a creature or planeswalker that can be sacrificed.

  • WotCApr 18, 2017

    The enchanted player chooses a permanent to sacrifice from among the creatures and planeswalkers that player controls. You don’t choose which type of permanent the player has to sacrifice.
