Rules Updates
• Added rules support for permanent spells to have abilities like rerun and leitmotif.
• Added a special trigger, `Whenever <a player> finishes drawing cards`. This triggers once after a player has completed an instruction such as "Draw two cards" or drawn from their draw step etc. (This is functionally "Whenever a player draws one or more cards," that wording doesn't work due to a rules quirk.)
• Touched up the tournament rules for warnings when multiple people are involved in the casting of a spell, such as with Academy Assessor or spells with assist. Put simply, if you choose not to pay for a spell that you can still afford after the other player's actions, the spell will rewind and you will receive a GRV warning. You will not receive the warning if the spell becomes uncastable due to the other player's actions, such as by removing a cost reduction. Additionally, attempting to recast the same spell (including mode choice, etc as relevant) without any changes to the board state will result in a warning for Slow Play. You will not be able to repeatedly cast the same spell in an attempt to force the other player to change their decision.

Council Changes
We say farewell to JN. Good luck out there~

Card Changes
• Mastery of the Veil now costs (from ) and its "choose X" tech has been returned.

Mechanical Changes
• I've written two rules patches that we'll be using going forward. One adds support for "Choose X" (which is why Mastery of the Veil has changed back) and one for "excess damage." Excess damage is exactly what it sounds like, with the notes that it is not affected by indestructible (ie, 2 damage to a 1/1 indestructible is still 1 excess damage), and excess damage to a planeswalker creature (that isn't preventing the damage for some reason) is the greater value of excess-damage-as-creature and excess-damage-as-planeswalker.

Council Changes
Pipsqueak has decided to step down. Matt will be continuing his role as TO, and Cyber will now be managing Instigator. Augur now joins us as the newest member of the MSEM Council!

This has the side-effect of putting these cards in the "s" rarity as opposed to the "special" rarity for filters.
• Corrected the names of the VTM Sagas, Brave the Issbarrens, The Start of Something, Against the Waves, Charting the Cosmos, The Lord of All Beyond, and Daisy, the Heart of Chasmek.

Aesthetic Updates
• Guardian's Resolve and Ralezza, Weaver of Okthuros have new art.
• The Ophorio Block (OPO) has been divided into Ophorio (OPH) and Oirohpo (ORP). For now, OPO cards will still work on old decklists, but it's recommended you switch over when you can, as ideally OPO will be removed from the plugin down the road. For bigger decks, you can upload the .dek file alongside the `$opofix` command and LackeyBot will update the cards and send you the new .dek file.

{Spoiler Tagged due to Length}
New Keyword Ability: Cadence


C702.34. Cadence
C702.34a. Cadence is a triggered ability of some creatures. "Cadence" means "Whenever you cast a spell, if its converted mana cost is greater than this creature's power, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature."
C702.34b. If a permanent with cadence isn't a creature, the cadence ability will trigger whenever you cast a spell with converted mana cost greater than 0.

New Keyword Ability: Conjure


C702.35. Conjure
C702.35a. Conjure represents a static ability that functions while the card with conjure is in a graveyard, a triggered ability that functions on the battlefield, and a static ability that functions on the battlefield. "Conjure (cost)" means "You may cast this card from your graveyard by paying (cost) rather than paying its mana cost.", "When this permanent enters the battlefield, if its conjure cost was paid, its controller exiles it.", and "If this creature would leave the battlefield, if its conjure cost was paid, exile it instead of putting it anywhere else." Paying a card's conjure cost follows the rules for paying alternative costs.

New Keyword Ability: Orchestrate


C702.36. Orchestrate
C702.36a. Orchestrate represents a static ability of a card in your hand that creates a delayed triggered ability. "Orchestrate (cost)" means "At any time you could cast a sorcery, you may pay (cost) and exile this card from your hand. If you do, when you cast your next spell, cast this card from exile without paying its mana cost."
C702.36b. Exiling a card for its orchestrate cost is a special action and can't be countered.
C702.36c. If the triggered ability created by orchestrate is countered, the card will remain in exile and the ability allowing you to cast it won't trigger again.

New Keyword Ability: Spirited


C702.37. Spirited
C702.37a. Spirited is a triggered ability. "Spirited" means "When this creature enters the battlefield, you may activate one of its abilities without paying that abilities cost."
C702.37b. If a creature has spirited, its activated abilities whose cost includes the tap symbol or the untap symbol can be activated by its spirited ability even if that creature hasn’t been controlled by that player continuously since their most recent turn began.
C702.37c. The ability that will be activated is chosen as the spirited ability resolves.
C702.37d. Multiple instances of spirited trigger separately.

Studies, and Archives, and Additional Libraries, oh my!


To support new cards in Arcanum, rules have been added for additional libraries.
C722. Additional Libraries
C722.1. Cards with the archive ability can create additional libraries. These libraries are separated from your starting library.
C722.2. An additional library with no cards in it ceases to exist. You will never be able to attempt to draw from an empty additional library.
C722.3. If a player would draw a card while they have multiple libraries and the draw effect doesn't specify a library, that player chooses which library they own to draw from.
C722.3b. If a player would draw multiple cards at once, each card draw is chosen separately.
C722.4. If a cost or nonstatic effect would refer to a player's undefined library and that player has multiple libraries, that effect's controller chooses any library that player has upon resolution and the effect is applied to that library. If that effect has no controller, that player chooses the library instead.
Example: Enlightened Tutor will shuffle the same library that was searched, and put the found card on top of that same library.
C722.4b. Static abilities that refer to a player's undefined library apply to all of that player’s libraries instead.
Example: Vantage Bridge says “Play with the top card of your library revealed.” You will play with the top cards of all your libraries revealed.

Carpe Arcanum introduces a new enchantment subtype "Study", which can create additional libraries with their Archive ability. These "archived libraries" are additional libraries, with the exception that all the cards in them are face up.
When state-based actions are checked, any Studies that have nonexistent archived libraries will be sacrificed by their controller.
Studies modify how their controller can interact with the library that Study archived. Gaining control of a Study does not give control of the library, although the stolen Study may give its new controller ways to manipulate the library still.

C702.33. Archive
C702.33a. Archive is a static ability of Study enchantments. "Archive X" means "As this permanent enters the battlefield, shuffle the top X cards of your starting library into an additional, face up, library.
C702.33b. The additional library is referred to as “the archived library” by the Study with the archive ability that created it.
C702.33c. Whenever state-based actions are checked, if a Study enchantment has an archived library of zero cards, its controller sacrifices it.
C702.33d. If a card would be put into an archived library, that card is put in that library face up.
C702.33e. If a Study card with archive leaves the battlefield, the archived library remains, but is no longer affected by any effects the Study provided.
C702.33f. Cards are not revealed when they are put into a face up library. Cards can still become revealed even though the cards are already visible.
C702.33g. If another player gains control of a Study, they will control any effects of the Study, but will not own the archived library. This means cards from the archived library can't go into that player's hand, graveyard, or library, and cards that player owns can't be put into the archived library. Effects of the Study may still allow them to manipulate or play the cards in that library.

New Triggered Ability: Perennial Triggers


Enlightenment, The Serpent Throne
• These two cards introduce a new trigger type named perennial triggers. Perennial triggers are formatted "Once each turn, when <condition>, you may <effect>." As a perennial trigger is triggered or resolves, it will check if you have chosen to do the effect for the permanent that was its source this turn. If you have, the trigger will be removed from the stack. If you haven't, you may choose to do the effect as it resolves.
• Once a perennial trigger has been used for a turn, its ability won't be put onto the stack for the rest of the turn.
• If the same perennial trigger is on the stack multiple times, you will still only be able to use the effect of one of them. The others will be removed from the stack if they try to resolve.

C603.13. Some objects have a triggered ability that has an optional effect that can be done a limited number of times each turn. Once the option has been chosen that limited number of times for that object in a turn, it can't be chosen again that turn and the ability will stop triggering for the turn.
Example: An ability reads "Once each turn, when you discard a card, you may draw a card." If you discard two cards simultaneously, the ability will trigger twice. If you choose to draw a card when the first ability resolves, you will be unable to draw a card when the second resolves. If you then discard another card this turn, the ability won't trigger at all.

Card Specific Notes (TOJ)

Arcane Strategist, Daughter of Suisei, Double-Edged Duelist, Nightfire Adept
• The triggered abilities of these cards will always trigger when you cast a spell. They will only check for the card with the same name as they resolve.


Abscond
• The target's converted mana cost has to be exactly X.
• Tokens that are exact copies of cards will retain their mana costs unless the effect that creates them removes it (which all cards in TOJ do).


Ginjiro Chimei
• If an effect moves a card that is copying another card from your graveyard and then asks for the characteristics of that card (for example: Revive), it will use the characteristics of the card it was copying.
• If a card that is copying another card leaves the graveyard, it will stop being a copy of that card. For example, if you copy a card with Conjure with Ginjiro's ability and attempt to cast that card, it will no longer have conjure as you attempt to pay for it and thus the casting would be illegal. If it is illegal, that card will remain in your graveyard and still be copying the other card. If for some reason you are still able to cast that card (for example: it's a different card with Conjure) you will cast it as that card rather than the card it was a copy of.
• If the copied creature has an ability that moves it from the graveyard to the battlefield (for example: Unearth), the card will attempt to enter the battlefield no longer as a copy of that card. If it is not a permanent card, it will remain in your graveyard.


Hisano, the White Lion
• Hisano's replacement effect will also cause Spirited abilities to trigger an additional time.


Mirai, Spring's Promise
• If the same planeswalker is somehow the target of Mirai's first ability twice in one turn, you still won't be able to activate loyalty abilites of that planeswalker more than twice in one turn.


Soulkindle Lantern
• Soulkindle Lantern only reduces the cost of activated abilities. Abilities such as flashback, reprise, and conjure are not reduced by this effect.


Spirit Script
• If Spirit Script becomes a copy of a card and then leaves the graveyard, it will stop being a copy of the card. For example, if Spirit Script becomes a copy of a spell with flashback and you attempt to cast it for its flashback cost, it will no longer have flashback as you attempt to pay for the spell and thus the casting would be illegal. If it is illegal, Spirit Script will remain in your graveyard and still be copying the other card. If for some reason you are still able to cast Spirit Script anyway, you will cast it as Spirit Script rather than the card it was a copy of.
• If an effect moves a Spirit Script that is copying a card from your graveyard and then asks for characteristics of that card (for example: Exile target card from a graveyard. If it was an instant, draw a card.) it will use the characteristics of the card Spirit Script was copying.

Card Specific Notes (CAC)

Aether Ascendant
• If you have Aether Ascendant become a copy of an instant or sorcery spell, it will no longer be a creature spell and won't enter the battlefield.
• Aether Ascendant will still be a creature spell until its cast trigger resolves.


Confirm Hypothesis
• If Confirm Hypothesis copies the triggered ability of an orchestrate ability, the copy will cast the card and the original ability will be unable to.


Disruptive Echoes
• Disruptive Echoes doesn't cause itself to enter the battlefield tapped.


Exhilarating Prescience
• You still pay any costs for those cards, and can pay any alternate costs.


Mechanized Ideal
• Mechanized Ideal's base power and toughness depend on other creature's base power and toughness, so it will usually be the last creature that has it's power and toughness determined.
• If a player controls multiple Mechanized Ideals, their power and toughnesses will be determined in timestamp order. This will cause the newer Ideals to have +1/+1 over the next oldest, and will not cause an infinite loop of increasing pt.


Misleading Tactics
• Blockers will have already been declared by the time Misleading Tactics can be cast.


Possibility Matrix
• You choose which card is cast only as the activated ability resolves.


Prismatic Leyline
• Prismatic Leyline doesn't care if there are any restrictions on producing or spending that mana. Mana produced by Prismatic Leyline won't have those restrictions.
• If that land can't produce colored mana, Prismatic Leyline won't produce mana.


Rahit's Prodigy
• If you can't target a card in your graveyard, you won't discard a card.


Reckless Festivities
• Passing for Reckless Festivities lasts for the entire spell, not just for the current process.


Salva Tore's Study
• Salva Tore's Study defines a library to draw from (its own), so it doesn't use typical card-drawing rules.


Shatter Facade, Thunderous Charge
• These cards don't check how they were cast from exile, only that they were.


Sigil of Radiance
• This prevents cards from being exiled from graveyards as a cost, such as Roggar's Frenzy and Cranial Violation.


Spellslinger’s Gauntlet
• You can't pay any alternate costs for the copy, but you can pay any additional costs.

Card Specific Notes (Archives)
Single Effects

Past, Present, Future
• This is a single spell effect, so one library will be chosen. A card will be exiled from the top of that library, and a card will be put back on top of that library.


Judge Unworthy, Adept Electromancer, Aiel's Fury, Evolving Elemental, Hunter's Instinct, Ing'Wei's Crystal Top, Inspiring Melody, King Visserine of Daeland, Morning's Rise, Move with the Tides, Non-Stop Production, Spell Dilution, Strength from Chaos, Summer's Approach, Sylvan Vitality, Terrifying Ankh, Think Ahead; Topaz, the Dragon's Hand
• Scry is not a separate spell effect. These cards will scry from the same library that is chosen for the other part of the same ability or spell effect.


The Tideshift
• The Tideshift's controller will choose a library for each player as it resolves. The creature's owner will choose if it goes on the top or bottom of that library.


Norwood Allure, Rallios' Return
• A single library will be chosen for the effect. It does not have to be the same library that caused the ability to trigger.


Mull Over
• If you choose to repeat the process, you will repeat the process on the same library.


Mysteries of the Ulek, To Say Farewell
• The player that controls the triggered ability (usually the player who controlled the spell as it resolved) will choose which library will be affected as it resolves.

Multiple Effects

Frantic Delving, Wait//See
• These are two separate effects. You can choose different libraries for the first and second effects.

All Libraries

Excise from Existence, Revoke
• These effects do not specify a library, and will allow you to search all of that player's libraries. Each library that is searched this way will be shuffled.



Portent of the Long Winter
• If you have multiple libraries, will be equal to the total converted mana costs of the top cards of your libraries.


Walking with Ancients
• In the case of multiple libraries, Walking with Ancients will check the top card of each of your libraries, but can't reduce the spell's cost by more than .


Vantage Bridge
• Vantage Bridge will check the top card of each of your libraries to see if its ability will trigger, but it will only trigger once even if multiple libraries fulfill the condition.

Other Rulings

Camouflaged Sprareos, The Last Sacred Gate
• You can only play these cards from the library you are searching.


Merchant's Guile, Read the Bones, Past Unresolved, Window Shopping
• Choosing a library for a spell effect doesn't affect which cards you can draw from. You can draw cards from any of your libraries regardless of which library you choose for the spell.


Glittering Funeral
• If you have multiple libraries, you will choose a library for the first effect (that puts a card on top of your library) and for the second effect (which shuffles and scries from that library). You may choose the same library for both effects. You can draw cards from any of your libraries regardless of which choices you made for the spell effects.


Stay Determined, Unhallowed Concordant
• These cards use replacement effects. This means the player who chooses which library will be affected can be messy to determine.
• Life loss caused by combat damage has no controller. The player affected by the replacement effect will choose which libraries will be affected.
• Life loss caused by spells and abilities either by direct life loss or by damage has the same controller as the spell or ability. That player will choose which libraries will be affected.

Card Specific Notes (Changed Cards)

Impulsive Plan
• If you have fewer than two cards in your hand, you will still have to exile as many cards as you can. You will only draw three cards if you exile two cards.
