G5.2 - Effect
- G5.2a - "Ability" and "effect" are often confused with one another. When a
spell or ability resolves, it may create one or more one-shot or
continuous effects. Static abilities may create one or more continuous
effects. Some effects are replacement effects or prevention effects.
State-based effects are not created by spells or abilities; they are

- G5.9b - If two or more enchant worlds are in play, all except for the one
that has been an enchant world for the shortest amount of time are put

player may play spells and abilities during this step whenever he or she
has priority. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
- Note - Also see Rule 311, "End of Combat Step."
G5.13 - End of Turn Step
- G5.13a - This is the first step of the end phase. A player may play spells
and abilities during this step whenever he or she has priority. See

- Note - Also see Rule 312, "End Phase."
G5.15 - Entwine
- G5.15a - Entwine is a static ability that functions while the spell is on
the stack. The phrase "Entwine [cost]" means "You may choose to use all
modes of this spell instead of just one. If you do, you pay an
additional [cost]." When the spell resolves, if the entwine cost was
paid, follow the text of each of the modes in the order they're written on
the card. [CompRules 2003/12/01]
- Note - Also see rule 502.32, "Entwine."
G5.16 - Equip
- G5.16a - Equip is an activated ability. The phrase "Equip [cost]"
means "[cost]: Move this Equipment onto target creature you control. Play
this ability only any time you could play a sorcery."
[CompRules 2003/10/01]
- Note - Also see Rule 502.33, "Equip," and Rule 212.2, "Artifacts."
G5.17 - Equipment
- G5.17a - Some artifacts have the subtype "Equipment." These artifacts can
be attached to (can "equip") creatures. They can't equip objects that
aren't creatures. An Equipment is played and comes into play just like
any other artifact. Equipment doesn't come into play equipping a
creature. The equip keyword ability moves the Equipment onto a creature
you control. (See Rule 502.33, "Equip.") The creature an Equipment is
attached to is called "equipped." The Equipment is attached to,
or "equips," that creature. [CompRules 2003/12/01]
- G5.17b - An Equipment that's also a creature or an Equipment that loses the
subtype "Equipment" can't equip a creature. An Equipment can't equip
itself. An Equipment that equips an illegal or nonexistent permanent
stops equipping that permanent, but remains in play. (This is a
state-based effect.") See Rule 420. [CompRules 2003/10/01]
G5.18 - Evasion Ability
- G5.18a - Evasion abilities restrict what creatures can block an attacking
creature. These are static abilities that modify the declare blockers
step of the combat phase. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
- Note - Also see Rule 501, "Evasion Abilities."
G5.19 - Event
- G5.19a - Anything that happens in a game is an event. Multiple events may
take place during the resolution of a spell or ability. The text of
triggered abilities and replacement effects defines the event they're
looking for. One "happening" may be treated as a single event by one
ability and as multiple events by another.
Example: If an attacking creature is blocked by two defending creatures,
this is one event for a triggered ability that reads "Whenever [name]
becomes blocked" but two events for a triggered ability that reads
"Whenever [name] becomes blocked by a creature." [CompRules 2003/07/01]
G5.20 - Exchange
- G5.20a - A spell or ability may instruct two players to exchange
something (for example, life totals or control of two permanents) as part
of its resolution. When such a spell or ability resolves, if it can't
exchange the chosen things, it has no effect on them.
Example: If a spell attempts to exchange control of two target creatures
but one of those creatures is destroyed before the spell resolves, the
spell does nothing to the other creature. Or if a spell attempts to
exchange control of two target creatures but both of those creatures are
controlled by the same player, the spell does nothing to the two
creatures. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
- G5.20b - When control of two permanents is exchanged, each player
simultaneously gains control of the permanent that was controlled by the
other player. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
- G5.20c - When life totals are exchanged, each player gains or loses the
amount of life necessary to equal the other player's previous life total.
Replacement effects may modify these gains and losses, and triggered
abilities may trigger on them. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
- G5.20d - Some spells or abilities may instruct a player to exchange cards
in one zone with cards in a different zone (for example, cards removed
from the game and cards in a player's hand). These spells and abilities
work the same as other "exchange" spells and abilities, except they can
exchange the cards only if all the cards are owned by the same player.
[CompRules 2003/12/01]
- G5.20e - If a spell or ability instructs a player to simply exchange two
zones, and one of the zones is empty, the cards in the zones are still
exchanged. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
G5.21 - Expansion Symbol
- G5.21a - The small icon printed below the right edge of the illustration on
a Magic card is the expansion symbol, indicating in which set the card was
published. Cards reprinted in the core set receive its expansion symbol
and no longer count as part of their original set. This is important only
to spells and abilities that affect cards from a particular expansion.
The first five editions of the core set had no expansion symbol. See
Rule 206, "Expansion Symbol." [CompRules 2003/07/01]
- G5.17b - Visit the products section of MagicTheGathering.com for the full
list of expansions and expansion symbols (
"http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=magic/products/cardsets).
[CompRules 2003/07/01]
G5.22 - Extra Turn
- G5.22a - Some spells and abilities can give a player extra turns. They do
this by adding the turns directly after the current turn. If a player
gets multiple extra turns or if both players get extra turns during a
single turn, the extra turns are added one at a time. The most recently
created turn will be taken first. See Rule 300.6. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
