202 - Name
  • 202.1 - The name of a card is printed on its upper left corner. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
  • 202.2 - Text that refers to the object it's on by name means just that particular object and not any other duplicates of it, regardless of any name changes caused by game effects. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
  • 202.2a - If an ability of an object uses a phrase such as "this [something]" to identify an object, where [something] is a category or characteristic, it is referring to that particular object, even if it isn't the appropriate category or characteristic at the time. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
    Example: An ability reads "Target creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn. Destroy that creature at end of turn." The ability will destroy the object it gave +2/+2 at the end of the turn, even if that object isn't a creature anymore. [CompRules 2003/12/01]
  • 202.2b - If an object grants to another object an ability that includes the first object's name, the name refers only to the object granting the ability, not to any other object with the same name. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
    Example: Saproling Burst has an ability that reads "Remove a fade counter from Saproling Burst: Put a green Saproling creature token into play. It has 'This creature's power and toughness are each equal to the number of fade counters on Saproling Burst.'" The ability granted to the token only looks at the Saproling Burst that created the token, not at any other Saproling Burst in play. [CompRules 2003/12/01]
  • 202.3 - Two cards have the same name if the English versions of their names are identical, regardless of anything else printed on the cards. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
