Rulings

  • 2020-04-17

    If a spell or ability causes you to put cards into your hand without specifically using the word "draw," it's not a card drawn.

  • 2020-04-17

    Shabraz's middle ability has you gain 1 life even if you can't put a +1/+1 counter on Shabraz, most likely because Shabraz has left the battlefield.
