G.9.1- If a card "Counts as
G.9.2- Counts as text applies no matter what zone (see Rule Z.1) the card is in. [CompRules 1999/04/23]
G.9.3- Counts as text is not considered an ability. [CompRules 1999/04/23]
Note- All cards that used "Counts As" text have received errata, so this set of rules is pretty much obsolete in a strict sense. It is provided here because it helps interpret printed cards without needing to look at the current errata.
