============================================================================== Card Rulings Summary (CHANGES ONLY) Updated 2003/12/18 ============================================================================== Rulings are collected from many sources. See credits and disclaimer at the end of the file for details. This release is under the rules used by EIGHTH EDITION.

The most recent version is available on the web (WWW) as either of the following: http://www.crystalkeep.com/magic/rules/index.html A '+' is used to mark changes since the 2003/11/19 release.
