Rulings

  • 2017-07-14
    If your life total is negative, X is considered to be 0. (This is a change from previous rulings.)
  • 2017-03-14
    The value of X changes as you gain and lose life. It’s not locked in as Death’s Shadow enters the battlefield.
  • 2017-03-14
    Death’s Shadow’s ability applies only while Death’s Shadow is on the battlefield. In all other zones, its power and toughness are 13.
  • 2017-03-14
    If your life total is 13 or greater and nothing else is boosting the toughness of Death’s Shadow, it’s put into its owner’s graveyard as a state-based action.
  • 2017-03-14
    In a Two-Headed Giant game, your life total is your team’s life total.
