Title: Rules question
Post by: Taysby on July 26, 2013, 12:06:34 PM
What is the most horrid rules situation you know of.  Like it makes you refer to 25 different rules, some of it seems contradictory, for example.  I think I want to make a really ugly rules deck.

And no banding.

This isn't actually that tricky.

Was the problem over whether or not someone could shuffle another person's card into their own deck?

The elixir says shuffle the graveyard into their (referring to the individual cards) owners, not controllers, library. Why not just use   {Banishing Stroke} or  {Condemn}

Actually, this one is explained in one of its Gatherer rulings:


9/22/2011 If you gain control of another player's Elixir of Immortality and activate it, the Elixir of Immortality will be shuffled into its owner's library and the cards in your graveyard will be shuffled into your library. You are considered to have shuffled each affected library (even if, as a shortcut, each player physically shuffles his or her own library).

RESOLVED

Timestamps means every upkeep after the control magic entered play it karona would still switch control.
