@raginglevine.com Hi Eric! Could you clarify an interaction between mutate and daybound/nightbound? CR 730.2i says a merged permanent isn’t a double-faced permanent, even if it contains DFC components. However, daybound/nightbound check whether a permanent is “front face up” or “back face up.”

I can’t find a rule defining whether a merged permanent can be considered “front face up” or “back face up,” regardless of which component is on top. Is there a rule we’re missing, or does this need clarification? It affects a friend’s EDH deckbuilding. Thanks for your time!

@raginglevine.com Hi! I’d like to ask about the interaction between Puppet Crafting and creatures cast for their impending cost. Currently, MTGA doesn’t allow an Overlord with time counters to become a creature when enchanted by Puppet Crafting.

I believe this is a bug, but there hasn’t been any official clarification yet. This interaction has caused considerable confusion among players, and some are making deck choices for upcoming major tournaments based on how it actually works.

Could you clarify the correct interaction? An authoritative ruling would be greatly appreciated!

@raginglevine.com Hi, I would to ask a question about MTR. MTR says “updates to this document are scheduled to be announced the Monday after each Prerelease.” But the latest version of official document I can find was updated on April. I cannot find a version including MSH or HOB in section 6.3.

Is WotC adjusting the frequency of MTR updates? If so, I would appreciate it if WotC could let me know what the new update schedule will be. I do some localization work on related documents, so knowing more clearly when the document is expected to be updated would help me plan my work better.

If you are aware of any typos in the Magic Tournament Rules, Infraction Procedure Guide, or Judging at Regular REL documents, let me know and I can send them in to get them fixed (I just sent in a list with a bunch of fixes, but maybe you saw something that should get fixed). #mtg

@raginglevine.com Hello, Mr.Levine. I would like to report a confusing sentence in MTR. If I am bothering you, I sincerely apologize. Here is a part of MTR. I think the sentence with red line is confusing, where there is a comma outside the quote and the other one outside.

@wotcmatt.bsky.social @natedogg.bsky.social Hi, I control Koh, the Face Stealer with Arcbound Overseer chosen with it, giving it the triggered part of modular and the “put +1/+1 on each creature w/ modular” trigger. Does Koh count as having modular for that trigger? What about Zabaz’s replacement?

28 Nov 2025

@wotcmatt.bsky.social Hi, I have a question about Koh. I would appreciate it if you could help me. If my Koh exiles creature card A and B, I activate its ability, first choose A, then choose B. B then is put into graveyard by Pull from Eternity. Now for Koh, which one is the last chosen card? 1/2

28 Nov 2025

Does Koh have the ability of B, have the ability of A, or just have no ability of A nor B? 2/2 Thank you sincerely for always helping me patiently.

@wotcmatt.bsky.social Hi, I want to ask an MTG rule question. I would appreciate it if you could help me. Is it possible to use Shiko, Paragon of the Way to target Gwen Stacy in the graveyard, and cast its back facr Ghost-Spider?

View full thread

In graveyard, Gwen only has characteristics of its front face. So the copy only has front face, and I can only cast front face.

It seems 707.8a is the way Wotc hope the interaction to follow? And in that way, we can cast the back face. However, 707.8a talks about how we creates a token which is the copy of a double face card. But Shiko doesn't directly creates a token. It copies a card in the graveyard.

As far as I am concerned, I cannot. Shiko creates a copy of Gwen Stacy in my graveyard. 712.8a While a double-faced card is outside the game or in a zone other than the battlefield or stack, it has only the characteristics of its front face.

@wotcmatt.bsky.social Hi, I have a question for the latest update of CR. It seems nothing about Mayhem has been added to the exception for 400.7. In this way, does it mean mayhem cannot work at all? Because mayhem talks about "discarded", when a card is discarded, it moves from one zone to another.

18 Sept 2025

400.7. An object that moves from one zone to another becomes a new object with no memory of, or relation to, its previous existence. This rule has the following exceptions. I can understand why madness can work well. It is because of 400.7e. But I am not sure how mayhem works with CR.

If I have a Doubling Season, and a saga I control enters. Does it enter with one lore counter or two? I have check the Internet and I know most people think it enters with two. But I have some questions about related CR and I don't really understand why. @wotcmatt.bsky.social

An effect is the result of a spell or ability. We all agree that it is not an ability, because a saga land enters with a counter witch Blood Moon on the battlefield. If it is an ability, this cannot happen. If we think 714.3a is an effect, and it is not an ability, it can only be result of a spell.

This sounds ridiculous. So I think we cannot think 714.3a is related to a replacement ability. It is just a rule and doesn't interact with Doubling Season.

Compared with 306.5a. It says celarly that it is an ability which makes planeswalkers enter with conuters. So I can understand that Dounbling season doubles the counters planeswalkers enter with. But 714.3a doesn't really say like that.

306.5b A planeswalker has the intrinsic ability “This permanent enters with a number of loyalty counters on it equal to its printed loyalty number.” This ability creates a replacement effect (see rule 614.1c).

This is what that makes me confused. 609.1 says An effect is something that happens in the game as a result of a spell or ability. But 714.3a seems not a spell or ability. It seems just a rule.

714.3a As a Saga without the read ahead ability enters the battlefield, its controller puts a lore counter on it.
