Rulings

A player with ten or more poison counters loses the game as a state-based action, even if no permanents with poisonous are on the battlefield. — 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. — If a creature has multiple instances of poisonous, each triggers separately. — Once a creature with daunt has been blocked, reducing the power of a creature blocking it to 2 or less won’t cause that creature to stop blocking. — 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!). — 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.
