RULINGS

• 2011-09-22 If there are multiple cards tied for the highest mana value, each player who discarded one of those cards will lose life equal to that mana value.
• 2011-09-22 In a Two-Headed Giant game, each member of the opposing team will be able to see the other's hand before deciding what to discard. If each member discards a card with the same mana value, each player will lose that much life, resulting in the team losing life equal to twice that mana value.
• 2011-09-22 If Scythe Specter deals combat damage to multiple players simultaneously (perhaps because some of the combat damage was redirected to another player), its ability will trigger for each of those players.
• 2011-09-22 Each opponent in turn order chooses a card to discard without revealing it, then all the chosen cards are discarded simultaneously. No one sees what the other players are discarding before deciding which card to discard.
