Rulings

(20/09/2016)
If Fateful Showdown's target becomes an illegal target, you won't discard your hand or draw any cards.


(20/09/2016)
The number of cards in your hand is counted only as Fateful Showdown resolves. Fateful Showdown is on the stack at this time, so it's not counted.


(19/01/2018)
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.
