103 - The Magic Golden Rules
- 103.1 - Whenever a card's text directly contradicts these rules, the card
takes precedence. The card overrides only the rule that applies to that
specific situation. The only exception is that the rules in
Rule 100, "General," and Rule 101, "Starting the Game," can't be
overridden by the cards. These rules apply at all times, regardless of
what the cards say. [CompRules 2003/12/01]
- 103.2 - When one effect says something can happen and another says it can't,
the "can't" effect wins. For example, if one effect reads "You may play
an additional land this turn" and another reads "You can't play land cards
this turn," the effect that keeps you from playing lands wins out. Note
that adding abilities to objects and removing abilities from objects don't
fall under this rule. See Rule 407, "Adding and Removing Abilities."

- 103.3 - If an instruction requires taking an impossible action, it's
ignored. (In many cases the card will specify consequences for this; if
it doesn't, there's no effect.) [CompRules 2003/07/01]
- 103.4 - If both players would take an action at the same time, the active
player (the player whose turn it is) makes any choices required, then the
nonactive player makes any choices required, then the actions happen
simultaneously. This rule is often referred to as the "Active Player,
Nonactive Player (APNAP) rule." [CompRules 2003/07/01]
Example: A card reads "Each player sacrifices a creature." First, the
active player chooses a creature he or she controls. Then the nonactive
player chooses a creature he or she controls. Then both creatures are
sacrificed simultaneously. [CompRules 2003/12/01]
