Rulings
  • WotCMar 19, 2021

    The amount of life you gain is the total amount of life lost, not simply the value of X.

  • WotCJan 24, 2020

    Colorless and generic mana symbols ({C}, {0}, {1}, {2}, {X}, and so on) in mana costs of permanents you control don't count toward your devotion to any color.

  • WotCJan 24, 2020

    Hybrid mana symbols, monocolored hybrid mana symbols, and Phyrexian mana symbols do count toward your devotion to their color(s).

  • WotCJan 24, 2020

    If an activated ability or triggered ability has an effect that depends on your devotion to a color, you count the number of mana symbols of that color among the mana costs of permanents you control as the ability resolves. The permanent with that ability will be counted if it's still on the battlefield at that time.

  • WotCJan 24, 2020

    If you put an Aura on an opponent's permanent, you still control the Aura, and mana symbols in its mana cost count towards your devotion.

  • WotCJan 24, 2020

    Mana symbols in the text boxes of permanents you control don't count toward your devotion to any color.
