Instructions |
| 135.2.b.1. |
Instructions are a type of text that appears on spells and within abilities. |
| 135.2.b.2. |
They describe actions to be performed by one or more players. |
| 135.2.b.3. |
Instructions will self-describe when they are to be executed. If there is no timing described, they will execute during resolution. |
|
Example: An instruction says “as you play me, kill a unit as an additional cost.” That instruction will execute as the card is being played. If the card is given Repeat and the Repeat cost is paid, this instruction will not execute because the Repeat execution does not happen until resolution of the spell, after this instruction has executed. |
|
| 135.2.b.4. |
Instructions can usually be recognized by the way they are written. An instruction is written in the imperative mood, using the base form of a verb and omitting the subject unless necessary. |
| 135.2.b.5. |
A single instruction is made up of a game action and its complement. |
