============================================================================== Card Rulings Summary (CHANGES ONLY) Updated 00/05/21 ============================================================================== Rulings are collected from many sources. See credits and disclaimer at the end of the file for details. This release is under the SIXTH EDITION rules. Unglued and Promotional cards do not yet have official Oracle card texts, so rulings on them are based on Oracle texts made by NetReps. Complete text is included for cards from all expansions. These rulings are updated monthly. 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 00/04/13 release.
