T.9 - One-Shot Effects


Return to Rules Index

T.9.1- A one-shot effect does something just once and does not have a duration. For example, "Deal 3 damage to target creature" and "return target permanent to its owner's hand" are one-shot effects. [CompRules 1999/04/23]

T.9.2- A one-shot effect may create a delayed ability (see Rule A.5). This ability may be activated (see Rule A.2) or triggered (see Rule A.4). For example, "at end of turn, return this card to owner's hand" creates a delayed triggered ability that will trigger at end of turn. [CompRules 1999/04/23]
