Format legality

Rulings

  • 2004-10-04

    The exchange isn't optional. If there is a legal choice, you must make one.

  • 2004-12-01

    Confusion in the Ranks triggers on itself entering. If an opponent controls an enchantment, exchange Confusion in the Ranks for that enchantment.

  • 2004-12-01

    Even though Confusion in the Ranks triggers only when an artifact, creature, or enchantment enters, the ability can target a land if the permanent entering is an artifact land.

  • 2004-12-01

    The permanents are exchanged only if they're both on the battlefield when the ability resolves.

  • 2004-12-01

    The permanents have to share a permanent type both when the target is chosen and when the ability resolves.
