RULINGS

• 2024-11-08 Playtest cards use a modified version of game symbols, such as {T} and {W}. These modified symbols should be treated as the standard symbols during play.
• 2024-11-08 For many playtest cards, you’ll need to make a generous assumption that basic game rules would be updated to allow them to work. The Mystery Booster 2 Playtest Card Notes section (reproduced here in individual Gatherer rulings) provides guidance for fitting these cards into the existing rules structure.
• 2024-11-08 Playtest cards aren’t legal for play in any tournament format other than Mystery Booster Limited formats. On the other hand, we expect they will spice up a wide variety of non-tournament games (as long as everyone’s on the same page about using them!).
• 2024-11-08 The enchanted creature’s toughness doesn’t turn into loyalty counters. Its toughness is its loyalty, and that value is modified appropriately as the enchanted creature is dealt damage.
• 2024-11-08 Other effects can still modify enchanted creature’s power and/or toughness as they would any other creature, and their durations are not affected. For example, Invigorate can give the creature +4/+4 until end of turn. While its toughness is boosted, that toughness can be reduced as a cost to activate its loyalty abilities. However, once the turn ends and Invigorate wears off, if the creature’s toughness is 0 or less, it would be put into a graveyard as a state-based action.
• 2024-11-08 Loyalty costs on enchanted creature treat putting or removing loyalty counters on/from it to changing its toughness instead. A [+1] cost on a loyalty ability, for example, effectively has a cost of “increase enchanted creature’s toughness by 1,” though it still counts as a loyalty ability. Similarly, a [−X] cost becomes “Reduce enchanted creature’s toughness by X.” You can’t pay a cost that would reduce enchanted creature’s toughness to less than 0.
