Rulings

(08/11/2024)
A copy of a spell can be countered like any other spell, but it must be countered individually. Countering a spell with coststorm won’t affect the copies.


(08/11/2024)
For many playtest cards, you’ll need to make a generous assumption that basic game rules would be updated to allow them to work. The Mystery Booster 2 Playtest Card Notes section (reproduced here in individual Gatherer rulings) provides guidance for fitting these cards into the existing rules structure.


(08/11/2024)
Spells cast from zones other than your hand and spells that were countered or otherwise failed to resolve are still counted by the coststorm ability.


(08/11/2024)
Playtest cards use a modified version of game symbols, such as and . These modified symbols should be treated as the standard symbols during play.


(08/11/2024)
Playtest cards aren’t legal for play in any tournament format other than Mystery Booster Limited formats. On the other hand, we expect they will spice up a wide variety of non-tournament games (as long as everyone’s on the same page about using them!).


(08/11/2024)
The copies of Friarball created by its coststorm ability are put directly onto the stack. They aren’t cast or played.
