Rulings
- 2024-11-08 For many playtest cards, you'll need to make a generous assumption that basic game rules would be updated to allow them to work. The Mystery Booster 2 Playtest Card Notes section (reproduced here in individual Gatherer rulings) provides guidance for fitting these cards into the existing rules structure.
- 2024-11-08 If you paid Cleaver Blow's multicleave cost, that spell doesn't have any of the text in the chosen set (or sets, as appropriate) of square brackets while it's on the stack.
- 2024-11-08 Multicleave is an optional additional cost.
- 2024-11-08 Playtest cards aren't legal for play in any tournament format other than Mystery Booster Limited formats. On the other hand, we expect they will spice up a wide variety of non-tournament games (as long as everyone's on the same page about using them!).
- 2024-11-08 Playtest cards use a modified version of game symbols, such as {T} and {W}. These modified symbols should be treated as the standard symbols during play.
- 2024-11-08 There are 64 different ways to cast Cleaver Blow using its multicleave ability.
