Official Eighth Edition Rulings

Rulings Summaries
The official rulings summaries are compiled by Crystal Keep's own Stephen D'Angelo. They are published monthly (since January 1994!) and comprise the most up-to-date and most comprehensive collection of Magic rules and rulings available.

This page includes everything about the final version of the summaries released under Eighth Edition rules.

We welcome feedback and discussion on Magic or this site on the Magic Forum.
