200 - General
- 200.1 - When a rule or text on a card refers to a "card," it means a Magic
card with a Magic card front and the Magic card back. Tokens aren't
considered cards--even a card that represents a token isn't considered a
card for rules purposes. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
- 200.1a - A card's owner is the player who started the game with it in his or
her deck or, for cards that didn't start the game in a player's deck, the
player who brought the card into the game. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
- 200.2 - Use the Oracle(tm) card reference when determining a card's wording.
A card's Oracle text can be found using the Gatherer card database at
http://gatherer.wizards.com. [CompRules 2005/10/01]
- 200.3 - A player is one of the people in the game. The active player is the
player whose turn it is. The other players are nonactive players.
[CompRules 2005/08/01]
- 200.3a - In a multiplayer game between teams, a player's teammates are the
other players on his or her team, and the player's opponents are all
players not on his or her team. [CompRules 2005/08/01]
- 200.4 - A token is a marker used to represent any permanent that isn't
represented by a card. (See Rule 216, "Tokens.") [CompRules 2003/07/01]
- 200.4a - A token's owner is the player who controlled the spell or ability
that put it into play. A token's controller is the player who put it into
play. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
- 200.5 - A spell is a card, or copy of a spell or card, that's on the
stack. (See Rule 213, "Spells.") [CompRules 2004/10/01]
- 200.5a - A spell's owner is the same as the owner of the card that
represents it. The owner of a copy of a spell is the controller of the
effect that created it. A spell's controller is the player who played it.
[CompRules 2007/10/01]
- 200.6 - A permanent is a card or token that's in play. (See
Rule 214, "Permanents.") [CompRules 2003/07/01]
- 200.6a - A nontoken permanent's owner is the same as the owner of the card
that represents it. A permanent's controller is the player who put it
into play. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
- 200.7 - An ability can be one of two things. First, it can be an activated
or triggered ability on the stack. Second, it can be text on an object
that explains what the object does. (See Rule 402, "Abilities," and
Section 4, "Spells, Abilities, and Effects.") [CompRules 2003/07/01]
- 200.7a - The controller of an activated ability is the player who played the
ability. The controller of a triggered ability is the player who
controlled the ability's source when it triggered, unless it's a delayed
triggered ability. The controller of a delayed triggered ability is the
player who controlled the spell or ability that created it.
[CompRules 2007/10/01]
- 200.8 - An object is an ability on the stack, a card, a copy of a card, a
token, a spell, or a permanent. The term "object" is used in these rules
when a rule applies to abilities on the stack, cards, tokens, spells, and
permanents. Combat damage on the stack is also an object, although many
uses of the term "object" in these rules don't apply to it.
[CompRules 2004/02/01]
- 200.9 - If a spell or ability uses a description of an object that includes
a card type or subtype, but doesn't include the word "card," "spell,"
or "source," it means a permanent of that type or subtype in play.
[CompRules 2007/10/01]
- 200.9a - If a spell or ability uses a description of an object that includes
the word "card" and the name of a zone, it means a card matching that
description in the stated zone. [CompRules 2007/05/01]
- 200.9b - If a spell or ability uses a description of an object that includes
the word "spell," it means a spell matching that description on the stack.
[CompRules 2007/05/01]
- 200.9c - If a spell or ability uses a description of an object that includes
the word "source," it means a source matching that description-either a
source of an ability or a source of damage-in any zone. See
Rule 419.8 "Sources of Damage." [CompRules 2007/05/01]
- 200.10 - A counter is a marker placed on an object or player, either
modifying its characteristics or interacting with an ability. A counter
is not a token, and a token is not a counter. Counters with the same name
or description are interchangeable. [CompRules 2007/10/01]
- 200.10a - A +X/+Y counter on a permanent, where X and Y are numbers, adds X
to that permanent's power and Y to that permanent's toughness.
Similarly, -X/-Y counters subtract from power and toughness.
[CompRules 2007/10/01]
- 200.11 - The parts of a card are name, mana cost, illustration, type line,
expansion symbol, text box, power and toughness, loyalty, illustration
credit, legal text, and collector number. Some cards may have more than
one of any or all of these parts. [CompRules 2007/10/01]
