    Abilities/Keywords

    Dredge Mill Regenerate

    Rules

  • Because damage remains marked on a creature until it's removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to Golgari Grave-Troll may become lethal if you remove +1/+1 counters from it during that turn. In this case, it dies before you can resolve the activated ability that will regenerate it.
  • If you return Golgari Grave-Troll from your graveyard directly to the battlefield, its first ability counts itself.
  • Dredge can replace any card draw, not only the one during your draw step.
  • If an effect puts a card into your hand without specifically using the word "draw," you're not drawing a card. Dredge can't replace this event.
  • If you're drawing multiple cards, each draw is performed one at a time. For example, if you're instructed to draw two cards and you replace the first draw with a dredge ability, another card with a dredge ability (including one that was milled by the first dredge ability) may be used to replace the second draw.
  • Once you've announced that you're applying a card's dredge ability to replace a draw, players can't take any actions until you've put that card into your hand and milled cards.
  • One card draw can't be replaced by multiple dredge abilities.
  • You can't attempt to use a dredge ability if you don't have enough cards in your library.

    Experience

    Rules

  • All experience counters are identical, no matter how you got them. For example, the last ability will count experience counters that you got from the first ability, from another ability, from proliferating, and so on.
  • Each game pack includes a card labeled “Experience” with the suggestion “Place your experience counters here.” This card isn’t required for play. It’s simply a convenient spot to put your experience counters, which can be represented with dice, glass beads, or other small items.
  • Experience counters are the second kind of counters a player can have, joining poison.
  • If Meren of Clan Nel Toth leaves the battlefield at the same time as other creatures you control die, its first ability will trigger for each of those creatures.
  • If a creature card in your graveyard has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.
  • You can’t choose to put the creature card into your hand if its mana value is less than or equal to the number of experience counters you have as the ability resolves.

    Rules

  • For example, you may cast an artifact creature spell as your artifact spell and cast another artifact creature spell as your creature spell.
  • If a permanent card is put into your graveyard during your main phase and the stack is empty, you have a chance to cast it before any player may attempt to remove that card from your graveyard.
  • If multiple effects allow you to play a card from your graveyard, you must announce which permission you're using as you begin to play the card.
  • If you play a card from your graveyard and then have a new Muldrotha come under your control in the same turn, you may play another land or spell of that type from your graveyard that turn.
  • Once you begin to cast a spell, losing control of Muldrotha won't affect the spell.
  • Use the type of the card as it's played or cast to determine which permanent type to count it as. For example, if you cast a creature spell from your graveyard, you can cast a card with bestow as an enchantment spell.
  • You must follow the normal timing permissions and restrictions of the cards you play from your graveyard. For example, you can't use Muldrotha to play a land if you don't have an available land play or to cast a planeswalker spell during your end step.
  • You must pay the costs to cast a spell this way. If it has an alternative cost, you may cast it for that cost instead.

    The Ring // The Ring Tempts You

    Rules

  • As the Ring tempts you, you get an emblem named The Ring if you don't have one. Then your emblem gains its next ability and you choose a creature you control to become (or remain) your Ring-bearer.
  • Each player can have only one emblem named The Ring and only one Ring-bearer at a time.
  • Each time the Ring tempts you, you must choose a creature if you control one.
  • If the creature you choose as your Ring-bearer was already your Ring-bearer, that still counts as choosing that creature as your Ring-bearer for the purpose of abilities that trigger "whenever you choose a creature as your Ring-bearer" or abilities that care about which creature was chosen as your Ring-bearer.
  • Sméagol, Helpful Guide doesn't need to have been on the battlefield when the creature died. For example, if a creature dies under your control during combat on your turn and you cast Sméagol, Helpful Guide during your second main phase, its first ability will trigger at the beginning of your end step.
  • Sméagol, Helpful Guide's first ability will trigger only once during your end step, no matter how many creatures died under your control this turn. However, if no creatures have died under your control so far this turn as your end step begins, the ability won't trigger at all. It's not possible to cause a creature to die under your control during the end step in time to have the ability trigger.
  • Some spells and abilities that cause the Ring to tempt you may require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve. The Ring won't tempt you.
  • The Ring can tempt you even if you don't control a creature. In this case, abilities that trigger "whenever the Ring tempts you" will still trigger.
  • The Ring gains its abilities in order from top to bottom. Once it gains an ability, it has that ability for the rest of the game.

    At the beginning of your end step, if a creature died under your control this turn, the Ring tempts you. Whenever the Ring tempts you, target opponent reveals cards from the top of their library until they reveal a land card. Put that card onto the battlefield tapped under your control and the rest into their graveyard.
