Snap Judgment

Rulings

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 the game ends in a draw, Snap Judgment’s effect won’t do anything. — In a case where the match would already be decided by the outcome of the current game, Snap Judgment’s effect won’t do anything. — In a two-player game, the game ends immediately if one player concedes. If Snap Judgment hasn’t yet resolved when this happens, its effect won’t apply. — 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.
