It affects the current turn and the next turn. This could affect the same player twice if they have two turns in a row, or it could affect different players. In a multiplayer game it affects exactly two turns, not a full round of turns. [D'Angelo 1997/08/18]
Does not stop triggered abilities since triggered abilities are simply put on the stack. They are never "played". A fine but important distinction. [D'Angelo 1999/07/10]

Personal Incarnation
Color White
Type Creature - Avatar
Cost Cost=3WWW
Expansion ABUR45(R)
Text(5th+errata):6/6. ; {0}: The next 1 damage that would be dealt to ~this~ this turn is dealt to its owner instead. Any player may play this ability, but only if he or she owns ~this~. ; When ~this~ is put into a graveyard from play, its owner loses half his or her life, rounded up. [Oracle 2002/03/01]
The loss of life caused when the Incarnation dies cannot be prevented by any spell or ability. It is not damage. See Rule G.21.2. [PPG Page 113]
You do not lose life if this card is removed from the game or sent someplace without going to the graveyard first. [Snark 1994/04/01]
If the Incarnation has Creature Bond on it when it dies, the Creature Bond and the Incarnation's abilities both trigger. If the same player controls both, they can choose which order they resolve. If different players control them, then the other player's resolves first, then the current player's. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
If two Incarnations die at once, you lose half of your life, then half of what is left. [WotC Rules Team 1994/04/01] This is because you play out the two triggered abilities (see Rule A.4), one after the other.
The owner of the Incarnation loses life when it is destroyed, not the controller. So if you control your opponent's Incarnation you can let it die to make them lose life. [bethmo 1994/09/09]
If you have less than zero life when the Incarnation dies, treat it as if you had zero life. You do not gain life. [Aahz 1995/05/30] See Rule G.19.7.

All tournament formats have banned this card because it only appears in Portal.

Pestilence
Color Black
Type Enchantment
Cost Cost=2BB
Expansion ABUR45(C)/6(U)/US(C)/BR(F1)
Text(6th+errata):At end of turn, if no creatures are in play, sacrifice ~this~. ; {B}: ~this~ deals 1 damage to each creature and each player. [Oracle 2000/02/01]
It is not targeted, so it will try to damage creatures with Protection from Black, but note that Protection from Color immediately reduces all damage of that color to zero, so the damage is prevented before it can actually hurt the creature. [D'Angelo 1998/02/03]
Each activation is considered a new damage effect. An activation can only be 1 point of damage. [Duelist Magazine #12, Page 26]
It will stay in play if there is a creature which is put into the graveyard at end of turn. This is because this ability will not trigger at all if there is at least one creature in play at that time. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01] Remember that the current player's "at end of turn" effects resolve after the other player's because they are put on the stack first.
Note that "until end of turn" effects wear off after this, so a Mishra's Factory can keep Pestilence in play. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]
Applies to all players and their creatures in multiplayer games. [Duelist Magazine #4, Page 64]

The revealing of a card for the Sphinx does not count as "drawing" a card for purposes of Underworld Dreams or any other effect which looks at cards drawn. [Aahz 1994/06/22]
You will not lose the game if there are no cards in your library when the Sphinx is used on you. It simply does nothing. [Aahz 1994/06/22]
