Rulings

  • 2005-02-01

    Changes in life total are treated as life gain and life loss.

  • 2005-02-01

    Tokens are included in the effect but shouldn’t actually be included in the shuffle. Tokens will cease to exist immediately after the spell resolves.

  • 2013-07-01

    This card won’t be put into your graveyard until after it’s finished resolving, which means it won’t be shuffled into your library as part of its own effect.
