Golden Rule |
| 002. |
Card text supersedes rules text. Whenever a card fundamentally contradicts the rules, the card's indication is what is true. |
| 050. |
Silver Rule |
| 051. |
Card text uses different terminology than rules. Card text should be interpreted according to these rules, not as though it were text within these rules. |
| 052. |
Card, when written in card effects, is shorthand for "Main Deck card." Runes, legends, and battlefields are not considered cards when executing the abilities and effects of game objects. They are considered cards for the purposes of these rules. |
| 053. |
Cards refer to themselves in the first person. |
| 053.1. |
Units and legends say "I," "me," etc. |
| 053.2. |
Gear and spells say "this." |
| 053.3. |
Battlefields say "here." |
