Rulings

As the first mode is performed, first the player whose turn it is chooses a card in hand without revealing it, then each other player in turn order does the same. Then all the chosen cards are discarded at the same time.
- 2019-10-04
As the third mode is performed, first the player whose turn it chooses a creature they control, then each other player in turn order does the same, knowing the choices made before them. Then all the chosen creatures are sacrificed at the same time.
- 2019-10-04
For each chosen mode, perform that mode in its entirety before continuing on to the next chosen mode in the order printed.
- 2019-10-04
If you really want, you can choose zero modes for Rankle's triggered ability, but carefully consider the hidden costs in not entertaining someone titled Master of Pranks.
- 2019-10-04
In a Two-Headed Giant game, Rankle's second mode causes each team to lose 1 life twice.
- 2019-10-04
You can choose a mode even if some or all players will be unaffected.
- 2019-10-04
You can't choose a mode more than once.
