[CompRules 2003/07/01]
- Note - Also see Rule 502.10, "Banding," and Rule 502.11, "Bands with
Other."
G2.2 - Basic
- G2.2a - Basic is a supertype. Any land with the supertype basic is a
basic land. Any land without that supertype is a nonbasic land. See
Rule 205.4, "Supertypes." [CompRules 2003/07/01]
G2.3 - Basic Land Type
- G2.3a - There are five basic land types: Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain,
and Forest. Every basic land type has a mana ability associated with it.
(See Rule 212.6, "Lands.") [CompRules 2003/07/01]
G2.4 - Becomes
- G2.4a - Some trigger events use the word "becomes" (for example,
"becomes tapped" or "becomes blocked"). These trigger only at the time
the named event happens--they don't trigger if that state already exists
or retrigger if it persists. For example, "becomes tapped" triggers only
once and only when a permanent's status changes from untapped to tapped.
[CompRules 2003/07/01]
G2.5 - Beginning of Combat Step

as a blocker in a given combat phase. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
- Note - Also see Rule 306.4.
G2.9 - Blocked Creature
- G2.9a - An attacking creature becomes a blocked creature when another
creature blocks it or an effect causes it to become blocked during the
combat phase. It remains a blocked creature until it's removed from
combat, it stops being a creature, its controller changes, or the combat
phase ends. A blocked creature doesn't become unblocked if the blocking
creature is later removed from combat. Blocked creatures don't exist
outside of the combat phase. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
- Note - Also see Rule 309, "Declare Blockers Step."
G2.10 - Blocking Creature

part of a legal block during the combat phase and (b) all block costs have
been paid. It remains a blocking creature until it's removed from combat,
it stops being a creature, its controller changes, or the combat phase
ends. Blocking creatures don't exist outside of the combat phase.

G2.11 - Bury (Obsolete)
- G2.11a - Some older cards were printed with the term "bury," which meant to
put a permanent into its owner's graveyard. In general, cards that were
printed with the term "bury" now read, "Destroy [a permanent]. It can't
be regenerated." [CompRules 2003/07/01]
G2.12 - Buyback
- G2.12a - Buyback is a replacement effect modifying Rule 413.2h. When
playing a spell with buyback, the controller of the spell may pay an
additional cost specified on the card. If he or she does, when the spell
resolves, the spell is put into his or her hand instead of into his or her
graveyard. If the spell goes to some zone other than its owner's
graveyard as it resolves, buyback's effect "loses track" of it, and it
isn't returned to its owner's hand. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
- Note - Also see Rule 502.16, "Buyback."
