Goblin Game

Cost Cost=5RR
Expansion PS(R)
Text(PS):Each player hides at least one object, then all players reveal them simultaneously. Each player loses life equal to the number of objects he or she revealed. The player who revealed the fewest objects then loses half his or her life, rounded up. If two or more players are tied for fewest, each loses half his or her life, rounded up.
When it comes to choice of objects, use common sense. Objects should be small enough to hide but large enough to count. Make it clear what kind of object you are hiding beforehand. For example, one player may choose coins and the other may choose dice. If you cannot find something convenient to hide, write numbers on a piece of paper and reveal the numbers. Make sure the numbers are unambiguous (for example, underline a 6 or 9 so it can't be misread). [Dommermuth 2001/01/25]

Text(VI+errata):1/1. ; When ~this~ becomes blocked, it deals 2 damage to each attacking creature and 2 damage to each blocking creature. [Oracle 1999/07/01]
If it is blocked by a Dream Fighter, the order of triggered abilities is used to figure out what happens. In this case, the Dream Fighter's phase-out ability resolves first. This is because the other player puts their triggered abilities on the stack after the current player does so. [D'Angelo 1999/07/10]

Expansion UL(R)
Text(UL+errata):1/1. ; {Tap}: Choose target artifact a player controls and target artifact card in that player's graveyard. If both targets are still legal as this ability resolves, that player simultaneously sacrifices the artifact in play and puts the other artifact from his or her graveyard into play. [Oracle 2000/10/24]
The artifact in play is put on top of its owner's graveyard. It is not placed into the same spot in the graveyard the other artifact was. [WotC Rules Team 1999/03/18] See Rule G.16.4.
The exchange fails (and nothing happens) if either target is not legal at the start of resolution. See Rule G.16.2. [D'Angelo 1999/02/13]
The effect works exactly like "Put target artifact a player controls into the graveyard, and put target artifact in that player's graveyard into play. This entire effect is cancelled if either target is not legal at the start of resolution." [D'Angelo 1999/02/13]
