Rulings

  • 2013-01-24

    If one of the two creatures is an illegal target when Bioshift tries to resolve, or if the creatures are controlled by different players at that time, no counters will move.

  • 2013-01-24

    To move a counter from one creature to another, the counter is removed from the first creature and placed on the second. Any abilities that care about a counter being removed or placed on a creature will apply.

  • 2013-01-24

    You decide how many counters to move when Bioshift resolves.
