These updates include support for new mechanics, error fixes, and improvements to the wording of rules and cards. Wizards of the Coast also publish an update bulletin which summarizes and explains these changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This article is my own version of such an update bulletin. It lists all changes the <em>Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes<\/em> update makes to the Comprehensive Rules, prerelease errata for <em>Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes<\/em> cards, changes to existing Oracle text, and changes to Gatherer rulings. For each item, I describe the change, its primary consequences, side effects, and anything else I find noteworthy. If I think that the update omits rules support or an erratum for a card or mechanic, the omission gets its own entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the final section, I read Wizards of the Coast\u2019s official bulletin and write down my impressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information, see <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/why-uub\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Why Unofficial Update Bulletins?<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Disclaimer:<\/strong> I have no special insight into the inner workings of Wizards of the Coast or their rules team; any observations are based solely on the published updates and my own knowledge and understanding of <em>Magic<\/em>\u2019s rules system.

Unlike nearly all other keywords listed under rule <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R702\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">702<\/a> (\u201cKeyword Abilities\u201d), power-up doesn\u2019t represent an ability though\u2014rather, it modifies the activated ability listed after it. The modifications themselves are self-explanatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One other thing of note is that rule <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R702193a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">702.193a<\/a> uses the word \u201crules\u201d for what are actually activation instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"rules-support-for-teamwork\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rules support for teamwork<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <em>Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes<\/em> release introduces the <em>teamwork<\/em> keyword ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rules entry for teamwork is <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R702194\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">702.194<\/a>. The ability\u2019s definition in subrule <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R702194a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">702.194a<\/a> is self-explanatory, but the rules entry as a whole has several noteworthy things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ability\u2019s text is the first instance in both the Comprehensive Rules and in Oracle rules text where a cost of tapping permanents does not include the word \u201cuntapped.\u201d While this makes no functional difference, it does stick out <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R70126a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">[CR 701.26a]<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rule <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R702194a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">702.194a<\/a> also uses language typically reserved for keywords that represent multiple abilities: if there is only one ability, the keyword \u201cis a [kind of] ability\u201d and doesn\u2019t \u201crepresent a [kind of] ability.\u201d The final wording issue with this rule is the use of \u201cN or more,\u201d which doesn\u2019t match the standard template of \u201cN or greater.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then there is rule <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R702194b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">702.194b<\/a>, which defines \u201ccast using teamwork,\u201d a phrase used by all cards with teamwork to denote the effects tied to paying the teamwork cost. The rule states that a spell is cast using teamwork if the intention to pay its teamwork cost was declared. The results of this rule are twofold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, if a spell with a paid teamwork cost is copied, the copy will have all the additional or alternative effects tied to teamwork. While that copy wasn\u2019t cast, it did copy the decision to pay the teamwork cost, which is everything that\u2019s needed for a successful \u201cwas cast using teamwork\u201d check. This leads to result number two:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the first instance in <em>Magic<\/em>\u2019s rules system where the word \u201ccast\u201d doesn\u2019t mean the keyword of the same name. \u201cThis spell was cast using teamwork\u201d has nothing to do with whether the spell was cast: a spell that wasn\u2019t <em>cast<\/em> may have been <em>cast using teamwork<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why Wizards of the Coast\u2019s rules team opted for such an unintuitive and inconsistent wording is unclear to me. Maybe they felt that the rules system needed another piece of shallow trivia that rules experts delight in so much. Or maybe they learned about the German translation for \u201cpermanent\u201d and decided that the English <em>Magic<\/em> dictionary needed an equivalent. The story of that translation is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Due to the lack of a fitting German noun, the term \u201cpermanent\u201d was translated into German as \u201cbleibende Karte\u201d (literally \u201cpermanent card\u201d). This lead to bizarre sentences like \u201cEin Spielstein ist eine bleibende Karte, aber keine Karte\u201c (\u201cA token is a permanent card, but it\u2019s not a card.\u201d) and to complications with the actual term \u201cpermanent card,\u201d which had the same translation. This issue persisted for more than two decades until the <em>The Lost Caverns of Ixalan<\/em> release, when the word \u201cPermanent\u201d was coined by the German translators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whatever the actual reason may be, the deed itself is worthy of a super villain. (The Typo Terror? The Evil Editor? The Unruler?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last but not least, since casting a spell using teamwork really means choosing to pay its teamwork cost, it stands to reason that <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/MSC\/en-us\/643\/virtual-assistant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Virtual Assistant<\/a>\u2019s ability triggers when that decision gets made at the start of the casting process, rather than upon its completion, as any other \u201cwhenever you cast a spell\u201d ability would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A player could thus announce a spell, declare that they pay the teamwork cost (triggering <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/MSC\/en-us\/643\/virtual-assistant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Virtual Assistant<\/a>\u2019s ability), sacrifice <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/MSC\/en-us\/643\/virtual-assistant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Virtual Assistant<\/a> to activate a mana ability, and still create a 1\/1 Robot Hero token. (If that is the reality-warping power offered by degenerative AI, I can almost understand why people sacrifice the future of their species for it.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For additional material on this update, see the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/pra-msh\/#teamwork\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">companion article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"rules-support-for-heal\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rules support for heal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <em>Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes<\/em> release introduces the <em>heal<\/em> keyword action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rules entry for heal is <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R70169\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">701.69<\/a>. If a player is instructed to heal damage dealt to a permanent, they simply remove all damage marked on that permanent; if something says that damage dealt to a permanent is healed, that is an instruction for that permanent\u2019s controller to heal that damage in the described manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notably, rule <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R70169a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">701.69a<\/a> doesn\u2019t follow the template used by all previous rules and cards that refer to removing damage: elsewhere, damage \u201cmarked on\u201d a permanent is removed; in rule <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R70169\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">701.69<\/a>, \u201cmarked\u201d damage is removed \u201cfrom\u201d a permanent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For additional material on this update, see the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/pra-msh\/#heal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">companion article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"rules-support-for-worthy\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rules support for worthy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <em>Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes<\/em> release introduces the term <em>worthy<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rules entry for worthy is <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R70016\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">700.16<\/a>; its definition is self-explanatory.

There are no additional rules specific to Vibranium tokens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"attempted-rules-support-for-captain-america-first-avenger\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Attempted rules support for Captain America, First Avenger<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <em>Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes <\/em>update includes official Oracle text for <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/MAR\/en-us\/88\/captain-america-first-avenger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Captain America, First Avenger<\/a>. Part of its rules text is an activated ability that lets its controller divide damage among one to three targets, with the amount of damage being determined by a choice made while paying the ability\u2019s cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the existing Comprehensive Rules, this ability cannot be activated: the ability\u2019s controller has to divide the damage during the spell\u2019s proposal <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R6012d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">[CR 601.2d]<\/a>, but at that time, the amount of damage hasn\u2019t been determined yet; the amount only becomes known once the player unattaches an Equipment while paying the ability\u2019s cost <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R6012h\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">[CR 601.2h]<\/a>.

This rule states that the ability\u2019s controller may consider future choices while dividing the damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This rule is my favorite part of the <em>Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes<\/em> rules update. Before the update\u2019s release, I had all my zinos on the rules team forgetting about <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/MAR\/en-us\/88\/captain-america-first-avenger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Captain America<\/a>\u2019s unique rules text, so I was positively surprised when I saw this rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was even more positively surprised after I read the rule and realized that it doesn\u2019t support <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/MAR\/en-us\/88\/captain-america-first-avenger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Captain America<\/a>\u2019s ability at all. Another trick rule to test the reader\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rule allows the ability\u2019s controller to consider any choice made later in the process\u2014and then it stops. Nothing is done with the choices considered, nor is any information derived from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suppose Alex controls <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/MAR\/en-us\/88\/captain-america-first-avenger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Captain America, First Avenger<\/a> which is equipped by <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/MSH\/en-us\/244\/captain-americas-shield\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Captain America&#8217;s Shield<\/a>, and she tries to activate <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/MAR\/en-us\/88\/captain-america-first-avenger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Captain America<\/a>\u2019s ability. After choosing one to three targets, she is supposed to divide damage among those targets; the amount of damage is undetermined, but thanks to rule <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R6015\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">601.5<\/a>, Alex may consider the future choice of which Equipment she unattaches from <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/MAR\/en-us\/88\/captain-america-first-avenger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Captain America<\/a> to pay the activation cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is only one possible choice, and Alex considers that choice for a while. She considers the choice itself, how she will announce \u201cI unattach <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/MSH\/en-us\/244\/captain-americas-shield\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Captain America&#8217;s Shield<\/a>,\u201d how she will move that permanent away from <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/MAR\/en-us\/88\/captain-america-first-avenger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Captain America<\/a> so that it no longer physically touches <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/MAR\/en-us\/88\/captain-america-first-avenger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Captain America<\/a>. She considers the object, its characteristic values, and any information derived from them; what it looks like, its shape and colors, what it defends, and what it stands for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having spent a non-excessive amount of time considering all those things (she doesn\u2019t want to risk a Warning for Slow Play), Alex returns to the original problem of dividing an undetermined amount of damage. She has all this information from her consideration but nowhere does rule <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R6015\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">601.5<\/a> state that Alex may use that information to solve her conundrum, let alone how she might go about doing so. Being a rules-abiding player, Alex admits defeat and aborts the activation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just imagine how boring this whole situation would be if rule <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R6015\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">601.5<\/a> actually supported <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/MAR\/en-us\/88\/captain-america-first-avenger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Captain America<\/a>\u2019s ability. Alex would simply activate the ability; I would have so much less to write about; judges would simply go, \u201cYep, that\u2019s the <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/MAR\/en-us\/88\/captain-america-first-avenger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Captain America<\/a> rule\u201d and be done with it; future judge candidates who ask about this rule would get a simple \u201cThat\u2019s the <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/MAR\/en-us\/88\/captain-america-first-avenger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Captain America<\/a> rule\u201d and go, \u201cYep, that makes sense\u201d and be done with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, the rules team gave us this gem, which rewards players for having a \u201cbetter understanding of the options provided by the rules of the game\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rules\/mtr4-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">[MTR 4.1]<\/a>; which rewards judges for paying attention to details and double-checking rules and policy rather than going with their gut reaction; and which inspires rules enthusiasts to dig deeper into the structures of the casting process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only way I see how this situation might have been better would be if rule <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R6015\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">601.5<\/a> had taken a cue from its direct predecessor, rule <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R6014\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">601.4<\/a>. There, after considering possible future choices, the player determines which current options would be \u201cunlocked\u201d by those future choices and is then allowed to make any such \u201cunlockable\u201d choices. If rule <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R6015\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">601.5<\/a> did the same thing, it would turn <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/MAR\/en-us\/88\/captain-america-first-avenger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Captain America<\/a>\u2019s ability from totally unusable into a straight-up superpower. (So, from a flavor perspective, that is what should have happened.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suppose Alex controls <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/MAR\/en-us\/88\/captain-america-first-avenger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Captain America, First Avenger<\/a> which is equipped by <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/MSH\/en-us\/244\/captain-americas-shield\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Captain America&#8217;s Shield<\/a> and by <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/TLA\/en-us\/258\/meteor-sword\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Meteor Sword<\/a>, and she tries to activate <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/MAR\/en-us\/88\/captain-america-first-avenger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Captain America<\/a>\u2019s ability.

Additionally, the update corrects a typo in rule <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R7082b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">708.2b<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"counting-main-phases\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">505.1b: Counting main phases (nonfunctional)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the <em>Bloomburrow<\/em> update, new cards no longer use the terms \u201cprecombat main phase\u201d and \u201cpostcombat main phase\u201d; instead they use the phrases \u201cfirst main phase\u201d and \u201csecond main phase.\u201d The Comprehensive Rules continue to use \u201cprecombat main phase\u201d and \u201cpostcombat main phase.\u201d The <em>Bloomburrow<\/em> update also introduced rule <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R5051b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">505.1b<\/a>, which defines the new phrases appearing in card text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <em>Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes<\/em> update generalizes rule <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R5051b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">505.1b<\/a> so that it applies to all instances of those phrases, not just to those appearing in card text. This is a nonfunctional change: the Comprehensive Rules use those phrases only in combination with qualifiers like \u201cof the turn,\u201d so applying rule <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R5051b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">505.1b<\/a> to the rules themselves is redundant (with one debatable exception; see below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The intent behind this change is unclear to me. Besides card text, the only rules-relevant text is found on sticker sheets and in the Comprehensive Rules. Card text was already covered by rule <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R5051b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">505.1b<\/a>, no existing sticker sheet mentions main phases, and not a single rule in the Comprehensive Rules uses an unqualified \u201cN-th main phase.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The phrase \u201cfirst main phase\u201d without a reference to a turn appears once in the Comprehensive Rules, in the glossary entry for <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#paradigm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">paradigm<\/a>. Unlike the main part of the Comprehensive Rules, the glossary has no definitional power and is less strict about its wording, so an update to rule <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R5051b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">505.1b<\/a> was hardly necessary. Furthermore, the entry actually uses \u201cfirst main phases,\u201d plural, which should clear up any confusion over which first main phase is meant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Had the update changed even one instance of \u201cprecombat main phase\u201d or \u201cpostcombat main phase\u201d in the Comprehensive Rules, I could see it. As is, this change accomplishes exactly one thing: by removing \u201ccard text\u201d from the sentence, \u201cthat text\u201d has no clear referent anymore.

Any value it wants to provide must come from information that goes beyond the content of the Release Notes and the Comprehensive Rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All in all, this update bulletin is one of the better ones. It has way less instances of calling a functional change a nonfunctional one and vice versa; the Oracle section doesn\u2019t start by telling the reader what they are supposed to find interesting; and it taught me something new about the <em>Magic<\/em> community. Unfortunately, the disclaimer that the actual Comprehensive Rules take precedence over the bulletin\u2019s statements is as sorely needed as ever. My verdict: almost worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Onward to individual items of note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Assemble your team and get ready to learn about the changes to the game rules (and the Oracle text of a few cards) coming with <em>Magic: The Gathering\u00ae | Marvel Super Heroes<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[\u2026]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"new-keyword-abilities\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Keyword Abilities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R702193\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">702.193<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R702194\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">702.194<\/a> are the new rules that explain how the power-up and teamwork abilities work, respectively<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evidently, the assembled team doesn\u2019t include an editor who could add a period to the end of the quoted text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, power-up isn\u2019t a keyword ability; it\u2019s just a keyword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"6015\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">601.5<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[\u2026] But sometimes, the amount of what would be divided is based on a cost.

We&#8217;ve removed most instances of abilities calling themselves special like this from the rules. None of these edits are functional. They&#8217;re just a way for us to make the rules ever so slightly more sensical to people trying to learn them using the official rules.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, let me get this straight: there are people who try to learn <em>Magic<\/em>\u2019s rules from the Comprehensive Rules. (I guess that includes me.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And these people, who are . . . driven enough to attempt this feat, tend to mistake keyword abilities that happen to use the word \u201cspecial\u201d somewhere in their description for special actions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keyword abilities that indicate nowhere in their definitions that they bypass the stack or do anything else that would suggest a relation to special actions? Abilities that all come with unusual (dare I say \u201cspecial\u201d?) activation instructions and\/or additional rules? Those keyword abilities get mixed up with special actions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, I guess this is the rare update bulletin that teaches me something new. The portion of the <em>Magic<\/em> community that studies the Comprehensive Rules is way more diverse than I previously thought, and Wizards of the Coast do their part to support them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such as by removing \u201cmost\u201d of the confusing phrases. Most, but not all\u2014a small dose of confusion is important for a healthy immune system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, mana abilities, loyalty abilities, and other things that follow \u201cspecial rules\u201d are obviously not special actions and their use of the word \u201cspecial\u201d is crystal clear. No need to change that text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even clearer is rule <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R7011\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">701.1<\/a> which calls verbs appearing in card text \u201cactions,\u201d with some of those verbs being \u201cspecialized.\u201d Evidently, nobody conflates actions represented by \u201cspecialized verbs\u201d with special actions, so that part of the rules can remain as is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And of course, this rules update has a host of other clarifications, such as <a href=\"#keyword-abilities-that-become-keyword-modifiers\">using the word \u201crules\u201d in place of \u201cactivation instructions\u201d<\/a> or <a href=\"#rules-support-for-teamwork\">using the word \u201ccast\u201d for something that doesn\u2019t mean \u201ccasting a spell.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the Comprehensive Rules being easier to learn than ever, I expect a huge influx of new rules enthusiasts coming from the <em>Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes<\/em> update. Thank you for supporting this part of the community, Wizards of the Coast!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"seeing-the-card-explains-the-card\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seeing the Card Explains the Card<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We noticed that a few cards that allow you to optionally reveal the top card of your library then refer to that card&#8217;s characteristics regardless of whether you revealed the card. Normally, this isn&#8217;t an issue, as any question like &#8220;Is this a creature card?&#8221; will get the answer &#8220;No!&#8221; from the rules if the card wasn&#8217;t revealed, but it can cause some confusion in cases where the card is already revealed due to another effect. [\u2026]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ah, another square on the official-update-bulletin bingo card: proclaiming that the current Comprehensive Rules do something that\u2019s not found anywhere in the actual document. In this case, the handling of unrevealed cards in a player\u2019s library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Comprehensive Rules contain rules that override the characteristic values of specific kinds of objects, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R1218\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">cards drawn while casting a spell<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R4063a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">face-down cards in exile<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/yawgatog.com\/resources\/magic-rules\/#R7019c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">discarded cards put into the library<\/a> instead of the graveyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cards in a library during the resolution of a spell or ability have no such rule, so their actual characteristic values are used. To use the example in the quoted text, the rules answer \u201cNo!\u201d only if the card is actually a noncreature card; if it\u2019s a creature card, the answer is \u201cYes!\u201d whether or not the card is revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And to continue the previous section\u2019s trend of making the rules system slightly more sensical, a reminder that <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/NCC\/en-us\/88\/swindlers-scheme\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Swindler\u2019s Scheme<\/a>&#8216;s Oracle text <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/uub-may-2026\/#revelation-required\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">was not updated<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"earmarked-mana\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Earmarked Mana<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Magic<\/em> has tons of cards that add mana but give you a particular restriction on what you can or can&#8217;t spend that mana on. Normally, we apply that restriction to the mana itself. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/IKO\/en-us\/222\/jegantha-the-wellspring\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Jegantha, the Wellspring<\/a>&#8216;s last ability says &#8220;{T}: Add {W}{U}{B}{R}{G}. This mana can&#8217;t be spent to pay generic mana costs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fascinating. I count a mere nine cards where the restriction <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/search?searchTerm=o%3A%22can%27t_be_spent%22&amp;display=cardssmall&amp;sortBy=SetName&amp;sortOrder=Ascending\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">is tied to the mana itself<\/a>, plus 37 cards that create Powerstone tokens or Vibranium tokens, however you want to count those. When I count restrictions <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/search?searchTerm=o%3A%22spend_this_mana_only%22&amp;display=cardssmall&amp;sortBy=SetName&amp;sortOrder=Ascending\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">tied specifically to the player who produces the mana<\/a>, I come up with over 160 cards. Even with the token-creating cards, the so-called \u201cnormal\u201d cards constitute less than a quarter of all cards. It\u2019s a testament to Wizards of the Coast\u2019s product quality that three quarters of their cards rate as extraordinary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An analysis of the Comprehensive Rules and Oracle updates released for Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":479,"featured_media":2398,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"language":[3],"class_list":["post-2620","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-unofficial-update-bulletins","language-en_us"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2620","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/479"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2620"}],"version-history":[{"count":28,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2620\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2672,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2620\/revisions\/2672"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2398"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2620"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2620"},{"taxonomy":"language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/nametherule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/language?post=2620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
