The rules entry for station is 702.184.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One subrule states that static abilities may modify how a station ability determines the number of charge counters to be placed on the permanent. It uses the rarely seen word \u201cresult\u201d instead of the more common \u201ceffect,\u201d and while the rule\u2019s example makes it clear that it intends to cover <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/EOE\/en-us\/209\/tapestry-warden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Tapestry Warden<\/a>, the actual wording leaves much to be desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tapestry Warden uses the concept of a creature \u201cstationing a permanent,\u201d and usually, such terms are explicitly covered by subrules (see the various terms around warp in the next section). In this case, the subrule just makes vague references to abilities somehow modifying the station ability. Without a definition of what it actually means for a creature to \u201cstation a permanent,\u201d the actual effect of Tapestry Warden\u2019s ability remains unclear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The closest equivalents are the keyword abilities <em><a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R702122\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">crew<\/a><\/em> and <em><a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R702171\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">saddle<\/a><\/em>, which define what it means for a creature to \u201ccrew\u201d or \u201csaddle\u201d a permanent. Going by those definitions, a creature would station a permanent when it\u2019s tapped to activate the station ability, and the effect of Tapestry Warden\u2019s ability should lock in at that moment that the creature\u2019s toughness will be used during the station ability\u2019s eventual resolution. The rulings published for Tapestry Warden suggest WotC have another intention in mind, but rulings are not rules, so the unclearness remains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other rule added for station cards is a new top-level rule numbered 721; subsequent rules have been renumbered accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Station cards are printed with a striated text box; each striation may contain a station symbol, and if it does, it may also contain a power\/toughness box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a striation does not have a station symbol, any text in that striation is treated normally. If a striation has a station symbol, that whole striation effectively represents one ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The station symbol represents a static ability which modifies the permanent\u2019s characteristics as long as the permanent has at least the specified number of charge counters on it. Any text in the same striation as the station symbol is part of that static ability, and any power\/toughness box in that striation is also part of that static ability\u2019s text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Minor things that caught my eye: rule 721.1 allows for a station card to have multiple power\/toughness boxes, although no such card has been printed yet and it\u2019s not clear how such a card would function; on the other hand, that rule restricts the number of station symbols to exactly one or two, although a card with more symbols is much easier to imagine and would work in the existing rules; and it makes the station ability optional, although every station card printed so far has one and rule 721.4 implies that a station ability is part of every station card. Lastly, rule 721.2 even allows for multiple power\/toughness boxes within the same striation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rules support for warp<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>Edge of Eternities<\/em> release introduces the <em>warp<\/em> keyword ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Warp works similarly to the keyword abilities <em><a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R702109\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">dash<\/a> <\/em>and <em><a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R702152\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">blitz<\/a><\/em>, except there\u2019s only two abilities, not three. One ability allows the spell\u2019s controller to pay the warp cost rather than the mana cost, and the second ability creates a delayed triggered ability as the spell resolves. The delayed triggered ability then exiles the permanent and allows its owner to cast the card from exile in later turns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rules entry for warp is 702.185.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One subrule covers the term \u201cwarped card in exile,\u201d seen on the card <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/EOE\/en-us\/176\/close-encounter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Close Encounter<\/a>; as one might expect, it means a card in the exile zone that was put there by the delayed triggered ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another subrule covers the term \u201cwarped spell,\u201d seen on <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/search?rules=spell_was_warped\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">cards with void abilities<\/a>; as one might expect, it means a spell cast for a warp cost. Unfortunately, this subrule only covers <em>effects<\/em> referring to warped spells; out of the fourteen void abilities, nine refer to warped spells in an intervening \u201cif\u201d clause, which is not part of the abilities\u2019 effects, but their trigger conditions. As such, the meaning of \u201cwarped spells\u201d in the text of those abilities is totally unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, WotC did not add a subrule (or addition to an existing rule) that covers <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/EOE\/en-us\/162\/tannuk-steadfast-second\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Tannuk, Steadfast Second<\/a>. Usually, if it is possible for a card to have multiple instances of a keyword ability that cares whether its keyword cost was paid, WotC add a subrule clarifying that each instance of the ability looks only at its own cost, and not at the costs of other instances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then again, with Tannuk\u2019s current wording, this can never actually happen. Warp abilities function while the object is on the stack, but the effect of Tannuk\u2019s ability only grants warp to cards in its controller\u2019s hand, so the granted warp abilities cannot be used in practice. This would be most elegantly solved with an erratum so that the effect of Tannuk\u2019s ability applies to artifact spells and red creature spells instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second issue with Tannuk is that the effect of Tannuk\u2019s ability only applies while Tannuk remains on the battlefield; as soon as Tannuk leaves the battlefield, any spells currently on the stack lose the granted warp ability. When any such spell resolves, no delayed triggered ability will be created, even if the warp cost has been paid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lack of a rules update was to be expected though, as WotC have not made rules changes in the past whenever such a card was released.<sup data-fn=\"8191ae67-999f-451b-be9a-bd734b1484f1\" class=\"fn\"><a id=\"8191ae67-999f-451b-be9a-bd734b1484f1-link\" href=\"#8191ae67-999f-451b-be9a-bd734b1484f1\">2<\/a><\/sup> By my count, Tannuk is the sixth card currently exhibiting this behavior, so it stands to reason that this is the intended behavior.<sup data-fn=\"5298c6e4-4a12-42a1-9f85-2c4247cc9169\" class=\"fn\"><a id=\"5298c6e4-4a12-42a1-9f85-2c4247cc9169-link\" href=\"#5298c6e4-4a12-42a1-9f85-2c4247cc9169\">3<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rules support for Lander tokens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>Edge of Eternities<\/em> release introduces the Lander predefined token.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rules entry for the characteristics of the Lander token is 111.10u.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cards allowed as commanders (functional)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With the <em>Edge of Eternities<\/em> update, WotC increased the set of cards which may be used as commanders. Now, legendary Spacecraft cards with a power\/toughness box, as well as legendary Vehicle cards, may be designated as commanders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The updated rules are 903.3 for Commander and 903.12c for Brawl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"harmonize\">Fix for harmonize (functional)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The original definition for harmonize stated that all three abilities represented by this keyword function on the stack. This represented a problem when trying to cast a card from a graveyard using its harmonize ability, since <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/tdm-uub\/#harmonize\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">none of the abilities worked in the graveyard<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the <em>Edge of Eternities<\/em> update, WotC changed the definition in rule 702.180a so that the first ability functions while the card is in the graveyard. The task of changing the first ability&#8217;s text to say &#8220;this card&#8221; rather than &#8220;this spell&#8221; was left for a future update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">611.2e (functional)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some cards put a nontoken permanent onto the battlefield and create an effect modifying that permanent\u2019s characteristics. This rule covers the timing of those effects: depending on the specific wording of the effect, it\u2019s created simultaneously with the permanent entering, or it\u2019s created after the permanent is put onto the battlefield. As is often the case with rules that rely on very specific wordings, rule 611.2e did not cover all existing wordings. With the <em>Edge of Eternities<\/em> update, which features one such wording on <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/EOE\/en-us\/127\/xu-ifit-osteoharmonist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Xu-Ifit, Osteoharmonist<\/a>, WotC expanded the list of effects covered by this rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">613.7n (functional)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The order in which continuous effects are applied partially depends on the timestamps of those effects. As a consequence, two effects should never have the same timestamp, as this would make their order ambiguous, and the subrules of rule 613.7 describe various procedures for establishing a relative order among timestamps.<sup data-fn=\"95f26e7e-c78e-4314-9f28-888d61fc8a7b\" class=\"fn\"><a id=\"95f26e7e-c78e-4314-9f28-888d61fc8a7b-link\" href=\"#95f26e7e-c78e-4314-9f28-888d61fc8a7b\">4<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, several gaps in those subrules have accumulated. The effects described in the previous segment were one of these gaps: the permanent enters the battlefield at the same time that the effect is created, and since there was no rule that covered this case, the timestamp order of the permanent and the effect was unclear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the <em>Edge of Eternities<\/em> update, which features one such card in the form of <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/EOE\/en-us\/127\/xu-ifit-osteoharmonist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Xu-Ifit, Osteoharmonist<\/a>, WotC partially closed this gap with the new subrule 613.7n, which states that the effect receives a later relative timestamp. The subrule covers only the relative order of that specific permanent and that specific effect though; the relative order between the effect and other permanents (and maybe even other effects) is still unclear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the new subrule brings its own gaps, the underlying principle strikes me as the intuitive solution: the effect modifying the permanent\u2019s characteristics feels \u201cadded on,\u201d compared to the permanent\u2019s \u201cinherent\u201d characteristic values, so it should apply after the effects of the permanent\u2019s own abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WotC did not address other gaps with this update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"61413b\">614.13b (functional)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This rule deals with enter-the-battlefield replacement effects that cause another object to change zones. It was created to handle situations where multiple replacement effects might attempt to move the same object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The canonical example, as seen in the CR, is a creature with two <em><a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R70282\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">devour<\/a> <\/em>abilities entering the battlefield: without a specific rule to the contrary, a creature already on the battlefield could be chosen twice, once for the first devour effect, and once for the second. After applying the two effects, the chosen creature would be sacrificed only once (as it can\u2019t be sacrificed twice), but the creature with devour would still enter with counters from both devour abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rule 614.13b prevents this scenario by stating that an object can be chosen only once for a zone change. The original wording was overly specific though, and only applied to replacement effects dealing with a single permanent entering the battlefield. The much more common scenario, where two creatures with devour enter at the same time, was not covered by this wording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the <em>Edge of Eternities<\/em> update, WotC generalized the wording to cover replacement effects dealing with <em>one or more<\/em> creatures entering the battlefield. My best guess is that this was prompted by <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/EOE\/en-us\/182\/famished-worldsire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">devour\u2019s cameo appearance<\/a> in <em>Edge of Eternities<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bringing cards from outside the game into a Commander game (functional)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With the <em>Edge of Eternities<\/em> update, WotC changed the rules for bringing cards from outside the game into a Commander game. The new rules mostly match those found at <a href=\"http:\/\/MTGCommander.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">MTGCommander.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A new rule 903.11 states that traditional cards cannot be brought into a Commander game, except by \u201crules, special actions, and effects that specifically bring cards into Commander games.\u201d The previous rule with that number, which puts additional restrictions on cards being brought into Commander games, is now subrule 903.11a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am not entirely sure how to parse that sentence\u2014does \u201cthat specifically bring cards into Commander games\u201d apply only to effects, or also to rules and special actions? Applying it to just effects would resemble the rules on MTGCommander.net the most, but on its own, applying the phrase to all three items seems more natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are currently no rules that bring traditional cards into a game, and only one special action, so there is not much to compare in terms of practical consequences. Furthermore, the special action\u2014bringing a companion into the game\u2014got its own subrule 702.139d whose wording does not fit well with the other rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, what does \u201cspecifically bring cards into Commander games\u201d mean? If I cast <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/A25\/en-us\/179\/living-wish\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Living Wish<\/a> during a Commander game and I choose a creature card from outside the game, do I \u201cspecifically bring that card into a Commander game\u201d? The game is a Commander game, and I specifically bring the card into that game. But that would make the phrase pointless, so this interpretation cannot be correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe it means that the special action or effect has to specifically say that it brings a card into a Commander game. That doesn\u2019t mesh with the new subrule for companion though, because the subrule just states that it <em>can<\/em> bring cards into a Commander game; the special action doesn\u2019t apply exclusively to Commander games, nor even to Commander games in specific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the most likely intention behind the rule\u2014the only traditional cards that can be brought into a Commander game are companions\u2014I would prefer the wording used for <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R1136\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">abilities working in special zones<\/a> and for <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R4007\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">objects changing zones<\/a>: one sentence which simply states that traditional cards cannot be brought into a Commander game, followed by a sentence declaring that there are a number of exceptions, followed by a list of subrules detailing each exception. This approach would fit the current wording of rule 702.139d, and it would require the same amount of maintenance, as each new exception needs its own rule someplace or another. Hopefully, the official update bulletin will shed some light on the rule\u2019s intended meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">903.5e (functional)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This new rule states that Commander games do not use sideboards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">702.174a (technical functional)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The gift keyword ability represents two abilities. The first is always a static ability, while the second ability\u2019s category depends on the card\u2019s type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instant and sorcery cards, gift\u2019s original definition stated that the second ability was a static ability, but it reads and behaves like a spell ability; rule <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R702174j\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">702.174j<\/a> also implies a spell ability, since it talks about \u201cother spell abilities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the <em>Edge of Eternities<\/em> update, WotC changed the definition of gift. Now, the text does not outright state what category the ability belongs to. This makes the definition part of a rather exclusive group, as keyword ability definitions almost always state the category of each ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going by the general definitions of rule <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R1133a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">113.3a<\/a>, the second ability is now fittingly classified as a spell ability. In practice, the exact category does not matter, as the CR don\u2019t differentiate between static abilities and spell abilities while resolving a spell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">100.4 (nonfunctional)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This rule establishes the concept of a sideboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WotC added a reference and a web link to the <em>Magic: The Gathering<\/em> Tournament Rules (MTR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">100.6, 113.6n, 206.4, 407.1, 731.1c, and 800.3 (nonfunctional)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>WotC updated the web link to the MTR.

cards which lose their subtypes (functional)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With the <em>Edge of Eternities<\/em> update, WotC replaced all dashes in rules text with hyphen-minuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most dashes have no relevancy for gameplay. One exception is where the rules text of a card contains the definition of an alternative type line, as seen on flip cards, adventurer cards, and omen cards. The CR define subtypes as the words appearing after a long dash <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R2053b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">[CR 205.3b]<\/a>, so removing the em dash automatically moves the former subtypes into the card-type part of the alternative type line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Effectively, the alternative sets of characteristics have no subtypes anymore. Flipped creatures have no creature types anymore, and Adventure and Omen spells aren\u2019t Adventures or Omens anymore, which means that they are not exiled or shuffled after resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This update applies to: <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/CHK\/en-us\/2\/bushi-tenderfoot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Bushi

Now, the ruling appears only three times on Gatherer: once dated January 12<sup>th<\/sup> 2024, once dated April 12<sup>th<\/sup> 2024, and once dated July 26<sup>th<\/sup> 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"reverted-rulings\">Reverted: Version-specific rulings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With the <em>Magic: The Gathering\u2014FINAL FANTASY<\/em> update, WotC introduced rulings that only appeared for one specific version of a given card; other versions of that card listed different rulings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the <em>Edge of Eternities<\/em> update, WotC applied the version-specific rulings to all versions of those cards, making them once again have a universal list of rulings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This update applies to: <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/FCA\/en-us\/44\/carpet-of-flowers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Carpet of Flowers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/FCA\/en-us\/31\/rhystic-study\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Rhystic Study<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/FIC\/en-us\/349\/lightning-greaves\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Lightning Greaves<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/FCA\/en-us\/15\/azusa-lost-but-seeking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Azusa, Lost but Seeking<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/FIN\/en-us\/94\/dark-confidant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Dark Confidant<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/FCA\/en-us\/48\/primeval-titan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Primeval Titan<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/SPG\/en-us\/89\/chandras-ignition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Chandra&#8217;s Ignition<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/FCA\/en-us\/41\/mizzixs-mastery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Mizzix&#8217;s Mastery<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/FIC\/en-us\/336\/armory-automaton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Armory Automaton<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/FIC\/en-us\/340\/conquerors-flail\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Conqueror&#8217;s Flail<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/FCA\/en-us\/3\/sram-senior-edificer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Sram, Senior Edificer<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/FCA\/en-us\/22\/danitha-capashen-paragon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Danitha Capashen, Paragon<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/FCA\/en-us\/60\/yuriko-the-tigers-shadow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Yuriko, the Tiger&#8217;s Shadow<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/FCA\/en-us\/55\/kinnan-bonder-prodigy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/FCA\/en-us\/19\/winota-joiner-of-forces\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Winota, Joiner of Forces<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/FCA\/en-us\/35\/gix-yawgmoth-praetor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/FCA\/en-us\/49\/atraxa-grand-unifier\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Atraxa, Grand Unifier<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ruling-reverted-reordering\">Other reverted updates of the <em>Magic: The Gathering\u2014FINAL FANTASY<\/em> update<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some cards had their rulings reordered as part of the <em>Magic: The Gathering\u2014FINAL FANTASY<\/em> update.

With my own analysis of the update complete, I will now have a look, and list whatever catches my eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>We also made some non-functional changes to the Oracle text of a few cards.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Apparently, removing the Oracle text or rules text of dozens of cards, or removing &#8220;you may&#8221; from an ability&#8217;s text is just a &#8220;non-functional&#8221; change these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>This is a summary of the rule changes planned to come to <em>Magic<\/em> with the release of <em>Edge of Eternities.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays, the official update bulletins come out after the new CR have already been published. Wouldn&#8217;t it be time to rewrite that sentence?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>We can assure you that Treasure tokens are still just as shiny and Food tokens are still just as tasty with the updated text!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>An excellent point. Tokens aren&#8217;t cards, even if they are represented by a token helper card from a <em>Magic <\/em>booster, so we should be allowed to eat the delicious tokens, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>This rule clarifies that the same object can&#8217;t be chosen to change zones more than once when applying replacement effects that modify how one or more permanents enter the battlefield. For example, if you have two creatures with devour enter at the same time, you cannot sacrifice the same creature to both instances of devour.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Does this paragraph say what actually changed about this rule? I don&#8217;t think so. Using the word &#8220;clarify&#8221; for a functional change continues to be an interesting choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>This rule has been updated to clarify that except via rules, special actions, and effects that specifically bring cards from outside the game into Commander games (such as the companion ability and rules), traditional cards from outside the game cannot be brought into Commander games.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Clarify&#8221; again for a functional change. At least the update bulletin makes it clear that the companion special ability is supposed to work under the new rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>This is not a functional change, and cards that bring nontraditional objects into the game like Dungeons or tokens still work as usual.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Calling this a nonfunctional change is clearly at odds with the previous CR version. Fortunately, if there is &#8220;a discrepancy between this summary and the official rules, the official rules take precedence,&#8221; so this mistake won&#8217;t cause confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, &#8220;Dungeon&#8221; is a card type and thus should be lowercase. The CR use the word &#8220;nontraditional&#8221; only for cards; I wonder what a traditional object looks like?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>In addition to the following rules text updates, we also had a few changes to reminder text as well as some minor non-functional templating adjustments that aren&#8217;t interesting enough to mention here.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for deciding what is and isn&#8217;t interesting, and for giving interested people like me a purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The Ultimate Nightmare of Wizards of the Coast\u00ae Customer Service lists the fairly ancient customer service phone number in its flavor text.
