1 Backdraft Hellkite
Backdraft Hellkite

Creature — Dragon

4/4

Flying
Whenever this creature attacks, each instant and sorcery card in your graveyard gains flashback until end of turn. The flashback cost is equal to its mana cost.
If a card with no mana cost gains flashback, it has no flashback cost. It can't be cast this way.

If a card has multiple instances of flashback, you may choose any of its flashback costs to pay.

If a split card gains flashback, you pay only the cost of the half you're casting.

"Flashback [cost]" means "You may cast this card from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost" and "If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack."

You must still follow any timing restrictions and permissions, including those based on the card's type. For instance, you can cast a sorcery using flashback only when you could normally cast a sorcery.

To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a flashback cost) you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.

A spell cast using flashback will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, is countered, or leaves the stack in some other way.

You can cast a spell using flashback even if it was somehow put into your graveyard without having been cast.

If a card with flashback is put into your graveyard during your turn, you can cast it if it's legal to do so before any other player can take any actions.

If you cast an instant or sorcery with in its mana cost this way, you still choose the value of X as part of casting the spell and pay that cost.

If you cast a spell with flashback, you can't pay any alternative costs such as overload costs. You can pay additional costs such as kicker costs. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those to cast the spell with flashback.

Once Backdraft Hellkite has attacked, its ability will resolve and grant the appropriate cards flashback even if Backdraft Hellkite leaves the battlefield before the ability resolves or after it resolves but before you cast the spells.

Only instant and sorcery cards in your graveyard when Backdraft Hellkite's triggered ability resolves will gain flashback. Instant and sorcery cards that are put into your graveyard later in the turn won't gain flashback.
1 Burnished Hart
1 Clever Impersonator
Clever Impersonator

Creature — Shapeshifter

0/0

You may have this creature enter as a copy of any nonland permanent on the battlefield.
Remember that if you control more than one legendary permanent with the same name, you'll choose one to remain on the battlefield and put the rest into their owner's graveyard.

If Clever Impersonator enters the battlefield as a copy of a planeswalker, it will enter the battlefield with a number of loyalty counters on it equal to the loyalty printed in the lower right corner of the planeswalker card. It won't copy the number of loyalty counters on the original planeswalker.

Clever Impersonator copies exactly what is printed on the chosen permanent (unless that permanent is copying something else or is a token; see below). It doesn't copy whether that permanent is tapped or untapped, whether that permanent has any counters on it or any Auras and/or Equipment attached to it, and it doesn't copy any non-copy effects that have changed that permanent's power, toughness, types, color, abilities, or so on.

If the chosen permanent has in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.

Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the chosen permanent will trigger when Clever Impersonator enters the battlefield. Any "as [this permanent] enters the battlefield" or "[this permanent] enters the battlefield with" abilities of the chosen permanent will also work.

You can choose not to copy anything. In that case, Clever Impersonator enters the battlefield as a 0/0 creature, and it's put into the graveyard immediately (unless something is raising its toughness above 0).

You choose which nonland permanent Clever Impersonator will copy, if any, as it enters the battlefield. This doesn't target that nonland permanent.

If the chosen permanent is a copy of something else (for example, if the chosen permanent is another Clever Impersonator), then your Clever Impersonator enters the battlefield as whatever the chosen permanent copied.

If the chosen permanent is a token, Clever Impersonator copies the original characteristics of that token as defined by the effect that put that token onto the battlefield. Clever Impersonator is not a token.

If Clever Impersonator enters the battlefield at the same time as another permanent, it can't become a copy of that permanent. You may choose only a nonland permanent that's already on the battlefield.
1 Cliffside Rescuer
Cliffside Rescuer

Creature — Kor Soldier

2/2

Vigilance
, Sacrifice this creature: Target permanent you control gains protection from each of your opponents until end of turn. (It can't be blocked, targeted, dealt damage, enchanted, or equipped by anything controlled by those players.)
The players that the target permanent has protection from are determined as Cliffside Rescuer’s ability resolves. If an opponent somehow gains control of that permanent later in the turn, it still has protection from your opponents, including its new controller.

Protection from a player means that the permanent has protection from each object controlled by that player. If an object has no controller (such as a card in a graveyard), its owner is considered its controller for this purpose.
1 Crackling Drake
Crackling Drake

Creature — Drake

*/4

Flying
Crackling Drake's power is equal to the total number of instant and sorcery cards you own in exile and in your graveyard.
When this creature enters, draw a card.
If any exiled cards you own are face down, they have no characteristics. If they're normally instants or sorceries, they won't be counted.

The ability that defines Crackling Drake's power works in all zones.
1 Dockside Extortionist
Dockside Extortionist

Creature — Goblin Pirate

1/2

When this creature enters, create X Treasure tokens, where X is the number of artifacts and enchantments your opponents control. (Treasure tokens are artifacts with " , Sacrifice this token: Add one mana of any color.")
If an opponent controls an artifact that's also an enchantment, that permanent is counted only once for Dockside Extortionist's ability.
1 Elsha of the Infinite
Elsha of the Infinite

Legendary Creature — Djinn Monk

3/3

Prowess (Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, this creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn.)
You may look at the top card of your library any time.
You may cast noncreature spells from the top of your library. If you cast a spell this way, you may cast it as though it had flash.
Elsha lets you look at the top card of your library whenever you want (with one restriction—see below), even if you don't have priority. This action doesn't use the stack. Knowing what that card is becomes part of the information you have access to, just like you can look at the cards in your hand.

If the top card of your library changes while you're casting a spell, playing a land, or activating an ability, you can't look at the new top card until you finish doing so. This means that if you cast the top card of your library, you can't look at the next one until you're done paying for that spell.

You'll still pay all costs for a spell you cast from your library, including additional costs. You may also pay alternative costs.
1 Gerrard, Weatherlight Hero
Gerrard, Weatherlight Hero

Legendary Creature — Human Soldier

3/3

First strike
When Gerrard dies, exile it and return to the battlefield all artifact and creature cards in your graveyard that were put there from the battlefield this turn.
Gerrard's triggered ability returns artifact and creature cards even if Gerrard leaves your graveyard before you can exile it.

Gerrard's triggered ability returns artifact and creature cards even if they were put into your graveyard while Gerrard wasn't on the battlefield, so long as they were put there this turn.

If Gerrard is your commander and you can exile it from your graveyard as its triggered ability resolves, you'll still be able to put it into the command zone after you return your artifact and creature cards to the battlefield.

Permanent spells that were countered earlier in the turn never entered the battlefield, so they won't be returned by Gerrard's ability.
1 Guttersnipe
Guttersnipe

Creature — Goblin Shaman

2/2

Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, this creature deals 2 damage to each opponent.
Guttersnipe's triggered ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered or otherwise leaves the stack without resolving.

In a Two-Headed Giant game, Guttersnipe's ability causes the opposing team to lose 4 life.
1 Pramikon, Sky Rampart
Pramikon, Sky Rampart

Legendary Creature — Wall

1/5

Flying, defender
As Pramikon enters, choose left or right.
Each player may attack only the nearest opponent in the chosen direction and planeswalkers controlled by that opponent.
If two Pramikons on the battlefield disagree on which direction three or more players must attack, players can't attack at all.

If no choice was made for Pramikon (perhaps because it's actually Volrath, the Shapestealer in an impressively clever disguise), its last ability has no effect.

In a multiplayer game, players may use any mutually agreeable method to determine seating order after they've chosen decks but before the game begins. If players can't agree (perhaps because Pramikon has them worried about who their nearest opponent is), players should be seated randomly.
1 Pristine Angel
1 Pristine Skywise
1 River Kelpie
River Kelpie

Creature — Beast

3/3

Whenever this creature or another permanent enters from a graveyard, draw a card.
Whenever a player casts a spell from a graveyard, draw a card.
Persist (When this creature dies, if it had no -1/-1 counters on it, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control with a -1/-1 counter on it.)
If a creature with persist that has +1/+1 counters on it receives enough -1/-1 counters to cause it to be destroyed by lethal damage or put into its owner's graveyard for having 0 or less toughness, persist won't trigger and the card won't return to the battlefield. That's because persist checks the creature's existence just before it leaves the battlefield, and it still has all those counters on it at that point.

The persist ability triggers when the permanent is put into a graveyard. Its last known information (that is, how the creature last existed on the battlefield) is used to determine whether it had a -1/-1 counter on it.

If a permanent has multiple instances of persist, they'll each trigger separately, but the redundant instances will have no effect. If one instance returns the card to the battlefield, the next to resolve will do nothing.

If a token with no -1/-1 counters on it has persist, the ability will trigger when the token is put into the graveyard. However, the token will cease to exist and can't return to the battlefield.

When a permanent with persist returns to the battlefield, it's a new object with no memory of or connection to its previous existence.

If multiple creatures with persist are put into the graveyard at the same time (due to combat damage or a spell that destroys all creatures, for example), the active player (the player whose turn it is) puts all of their persist triggers on the stack in any order, then each other player in turn order does the same. The last trigger put on the stack is the first one that resolves. That means that in a two-player game, the nonactive player's persist creatures will return to the battlefield first, then the active player's persist creatures do the same. The creatures return to the battlefield one at a time.

If a creature with persist stops being a creature, persist will still work.

If River Kelpie and another permanent are each put onto the battlefield from a graveyard at the same time, River Kelpie's first ability will trigger twice. (It will see the other permanent entering.)

If you cast another artifact, creature, enchantment, or planeswalker spell from a graveyard, only the second ability triggers. That's because the card is put onto the stack, not onto the battlefield.

If you cast River Kelpie itself from your graveyard (by using Yawgmoth's Will, for example), neither ability triggers. The first ability doesn't trigger because River Kelpie is put onto the stack; the second ability doesn't trigger because it works only while River Kelpie is already on the battlefield.

If you play a land card from a graveyard (by using Crucible of Worlds, for example), only the first ability triggers. That's because the land (which isn't a spell) is put directly onto the battlefield from the graveyard.

River Kelpie doesn't give you the ability to cast spells from graveyards. Its second ability merely triggers whenever a spell is cast this way (by using Memory Plunder, for example).
1 Scaretiller
Scaretiller

Artifact Creature — Scarecrow

1/4
Whenever this creature becomes tapped, choose one —
You may put a land card from your hand onto the battlefield tapped.
Return target land card from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped.
Scaretiller's ability is a triggered ability, not an activated ability. It doesn't allow you to tap it whenever you want; rather, you need some other way of tapping it, such as by attacking.

If Scaretiller becomes tapped while casting a spell or activating an ability, that spell or ability resolves after Scaretiller's triggered ability has resolved.

Neither mode of Scaretiller's ability counts as playing a land. It can put a land card onto the battlefield even if you've already played your land for the turn, and even if it's not your turn.
1 Sevinne, the Chronoclasm
Sevinne, the Chronoclasm

Legendary Creature — Human Wizard

2/2

Prevent all damage that would be dealt to Sevinne.
Whenever you cast your first instant or sorcery spell from your graveyard each turn, copy that spell. You may choose new targets for the copy.
If you cast an instant or sorcery spell from your graveyard before Sevinne enters the battlefield during the same turn, its last ability can't trigger that turn.

Sevinne's ability will copy any instant or sorcery spell, not just one with targets.

A copy is created even if the spell that caused Sevinne's ability to trigger has been countered by the time that ability resolves. The copy resolves before the original spell.

The copy will have the same targets as the spell it's copying unless you choose new ones. You may change any number of the targets, including all of them or none of them. The new targets must be legal.

If the spell that's copied is modal (that is, it says "Choose one —" or the like), the copy will have the same mode or modes. You can't choose different ones.

If the spell that's copied has an X whose value was determined as it was cast, the copy has the same value of X.

You can't choose to pay any additional costs for the copy. However, effects based on any additional costs that were paid for the original spell are copied as though those same costs were paid for the copy too.

The copy that Sevinne's ability creates is created on the stack, so it's not "cast." Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell won't trigger. Any of that spell's effects that apply only if it was cast from a graveyard won't apply.
1 Sun Titan
Sun Titan

Creature — Giant

6/6

Vigilance
Whenever this creature enters or attacks, you may return target permanent card with mana value 3 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield.
A permanent card is an artifact, creature, enchantment, land, or planeswalker card.

If a card in your graveyard has no mana symbols in its upper right corner (because it's a land card, for example), its mana value is 0.

The mana value of a card in your graveyard is determined solely by the mana symbols printed in its upper right corner. The mana value is the total amount of mana in that cost, regardless of color. For example, a card with mana cost has mana value 5.

If the mana cost of a card in your graveyard includes , X is considered to be 0.
1 Talrand, Sky Summoner
Talrand, Sky Summoner

Legendary Creature — Merfolk Wizard

2/2

Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, create a 2/2 blue Drake creature token with flying.
An ability that triggers when a player casts a spell resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger, but after targets have been chosen for that spell. It resolves even if that spell is countered.
1 Thalia's Geistcaller
Thalia's Geistcaller

Creature — Human Cleric

3/1

Lifelink
Whenever you cast a spell from your graveyard, create a 1/1 white Spirit creature token with flying.
Sacrifice a Spirit: This creature gains indestructible until end of turn.
The triggered ability of Thalia's Geistcaller will resolve before the spell that caused it to trigger but after targets have been chosen for that spell. It resolves even if that spell is countered.

You can sacrifice any Spirit you control to activate the last ability of Thalia's Geistcaller, not just a Spirit token it created.
1 Wall of Stolen Identity
Wall of Stolen Identity

Creature — Shapeshifter Wall

0/0

You may have this creature enter as a copy of any creature on the battlefield, except it's a Wall in addition to its other types and has defender. When you do, tap the copied creature and it doesn't untap during its controller's untap step for as long as you control this creature.
If Wall of Stolen Identity somehow enters the battlefield at the same time as another creature, it can’t become a copy of that creature. You may choose only a creature that’s already on the battlefield.

Wall of Stolen Identity copies exactly what was printed on the original creature (unless that creature is copying something else or is a token; see below). It doesn’t copy whether that creature is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or any Auras and Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, or so on.

If Wall of Stolen Identity copies a creature that’s normally not a creature (such as Mutavault), the copied permanent will be tapped and will remain tapped even when it’s no longer a creature for as long as you control Wall of Stolen Identity.

If the copied creature has in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.

If the chosen creature is copying something else (for example, if the chosen creature is another Wall of Stolen Identity), then Wall of Stolen Identity enters the battlefield as whatever the chosen creature copied.

If the chosen creature is a token, Wall of Stolen Identity copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that created the token. Wall of Stolen Identity doesn’t become a token in this case.

Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when Wall of Stolen Identity enters the battlefield. Any “as [this creature] enters the battlefield” or “[this creature] enters the battlefield with” abilities of the chosen creature will also work.

Once Wall of Stolen Identity has entered the battlefield and stolen a creature’s identity, players can take actions before the creature is tapped.

If another player gains control of Wall of Stolen Identity, its effect keeping the creature tapped expires. It won’t keep the creature from untapping anymore, even if you later regain control of Wall of Stolen Identity.

Wall of Stolen Identity can copy a tapped creature. That creature just remains tapped and doesn’t untap during its controller’s next untap step for as long as you control Wall of Stolen Identity.

If Wall of Stolen Identity leaves the battlefield before its triggered ability has resolved, the copied creature will be tapped, but it will untap as normal.
1 Zetalpa, Primal Dawn
Zetalpa, Primal Dawn

Legendary Creature — Elder Dinosaur

4/8

Flying, double strike, vigilance, trample, indestructible
If an attacking creature with double strike and trample destroys all of its blocking creatures with first-strike combat damage, all of its normal combat damage is assigned to the player, planeswalker, or battle that creature's attacking.

Planeswalkers 1

1 Ral Zarek
Ral Zarek

Legendary Planeswalker — Ral

+1: Tap target permanent, then untap another target permanent.
−2: Ral Zarek deals 3 damage to any target.
−7: Flip five coins. Take an extra turn after this one for each coin that comes up heads.
Ral Zarek's first ability can target any two permanents. It doesn't matter whether they're tapped or untapped. If the first target is tapped as the ability resolves, it will just stay tapped. Similarly, if the second target is untapped as the ability resolves, it will stay untapped.

The five coins you flip for Ral Zarek's last ability aren't called, and no one wins or loses these flips. Abilities that care about a player winning or losing a coin flip won't consider these flips.
