  • Alters all occurrences of the chosen word in the text box and the type line of the given card.
  • Can target a card with no appropriate words on it, or even one with no words at all.
  • Changing the text of a spell will not allow you to change the targets of the spell because the targets were chosen when the spell was cast. The text change will (probably) cause it to be countered since the targets will be illegal.
  • If a creature's creature type has been changed by a spell or ability, changing the card's text won't affect or alter the new creature type.
  • If you change the text of a spell which is to become a permanent, the permanent will retain the text change until the effect wears off.
  • It can't change a word to the same word. It must be a different word.
  • It only changes what is printed on the card (or set on a token when it was created or set by a copy effect). It will not change any effects that are on the permanent.
  • You can't change proper nouns (i.e. card names) such as “Island Fish Jasconius”.
  • You choose the words to change on resolution.

    Rules

  • Each card becomes a new object as it changes zones, so this effect will apply to it from scratch in the new zone. Zone-change replacement abilities that care about the new color (like "[color] permanents enter tapped") won't work because those effects are applied as the card is entering its new zone. Zone-change triggered abilities that care about the new color (like "when a [color] permanent enters" or "when you cast a [color] spell") will work because those effects apply after the card is already in its new zone.
  • If something affected by Painter's Servant is normally colorless, it will simply be the new color. It won't be both the new color and colorless.
  • The effects of multiple Painter's Servants are cumulative.
  • This ability affects every card in every game zone, all tokens on the battlefield, and all spell copies on the stack, regardless of who controls or owns them.
  • This ability doesn't overwrite any previous colors. Rather, it adds another color.
  • While Painter's Servant is on the battlefield, an effect that changes an object's colors will overwrite Painter's Servant's effect. For example, casting Cerulean Wisps on a creature will turn it blue, regardless of the color chosen for Painter's Servant.

    Equip

    Rules

  • If the Jitte is moved after the “+2/+2” mode is announced but before it resolves, the bonus is given to the creature that is equipped when the ability resolves.
  • If the Jitte leaves the battlefield after the “+2/+2” mode is announced but before it resolves, the bonus is given to the creature that was most recently equipped once the ability resolves.
  • If the “target creature gets -1/-1 until end of turn” mode is chosen, the target creature must also be announced.
  • The ability can be used any time Umezawa’s Jitte’s controller has priority — only the “target creature” choice has additional requirements. Choosing the “Equipped creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn” mode does nothing if the Jitte isn’t equipped to a creature when the ability resolves.
  • Umezawa’s Jitte’s activated ability generates a modal choice. The choice is made when the ability is activated.
