  • If an opponent has one or fewer cards in hand as Davriel's first ability triggers but has two or more cards in hand as that ability resolves, Davriel doesn't deal damage to them.
  • If an opponent has two or more cards in their hand as their upkeep begins, Davriel's first ability won't trigger. No player may take any actions during a turn before the turn's upkeep begins. Because the upkeep step is before the draw step, that player won't have drawn a card for the turn yet.
  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, Davriel's first ability triggers for each opponent separately as appropriate during that player's team's upkeep.

    Rules

  • If a spell or ability causes the chosen player to draw cards and then discard cards, Nyxathid's power and toughness changes accordingly as that spell or ability is resolving. For example, if the chosen player has five cards in hand and a spell causes that player to draw two cards then discard two cards, Nyxathid will start out as 2/2, then become 1/1, 0/0, and finally 2/2. This is because cards are always drawn one at a time, but multiple cards may be discarded at once. Although Nyxathid momentarily had 0 toughness while that spell was resolving, it isn't put into its owner's graveyard as a state-based action because state-based actions aren't checked until the spell has finished resolving.
  • In a multiplayer game, if the chosen player leaves the game, Nyxathid's second ability simply won't do anything anymore.
  • Nyxathid tracks the hand size of the chosen player even if that player ceases to be an opponent of its controller. (This could happen if that player gains control of Nyxathid, for example.)
  • Nyxathid's two abilities are linked: The second one refers only to the player chosen by the first one. If another creature becomes a copy of Nyxathid (due to Mirrorweave, for example), the second ability won't do anything because a player was never chosen as a result of the first ability. This is true even if a different ability allowed a player to be chosen as that creature entered.

    Rules

  • The second ability has an “intervening ‘if’ clause.” That means (1) the ability won’t trigger at all unless, as an opponent’s upkeep starts, that player has no cards in hand and Quest for the Nihil Stone has two or more quest counters on it, and (2) the ability will do nothing if that player has at least one card in hand and/or Quest for the Nihil Stone has fewer than two quest counters on it by the time it resolves. (If Quest for the Nihil Stone is no longer on the battlefield by that point, its last existence on the battlefield is checked to see how many quest counters were on it.)

  • Shrieking Affliction’s ability will trigger only if an opponent begins their upkeep with one or fewer cards in hand. The ability will check the number of cards in that player’s hand again when it tries to resolve. If that player has two or more cards in hand at that time, that player won’t lose life.
