in progress ... testing
9/22/2011 : Elvish Archdruid's activated ability is a mana ability. It doesn't use the stack and players can't respond to it.
1/1/2011 : Only Elf creatures you control when the last ability resolves will get +3/+3 and gain trample until end of turn. Non-Elf creatures that become Elves or Elf creatures that enter the battlefield under your control later in the turn won't get the bonuses.
1/24/2013 : If Forced Adaptation's ability triggers but Forced Adaptation isn't on the battlefield when the ability resolves, put a +1/+1 counter on the creature it was enchanting when it left the battlefield.
Glissa, the Traitor : If an artifact you own and a creature an opponent controls go to the graveyard at the same time, you may choose that artifact card as the target of Glissa, the Traitor's ability (even if they're the same card: an artifact creature you own that an opponent controlled).
Hardened Scales : Placed on a creature you control includes that creature entering the battlefield with +1/+1 counters on it. If a creature would enter the battlefield with a number of +1/+1 counters on it while you control Hardened Scales, it enters with that many counters plus one.
9/20/2014 : Each additional Hardened Scales you control will increase the number of +1/+1 counters placed on a creature by one.
6/22/2015 : Renown wont trigger when a creature deals combat damage to a planeswalker or another creature. It also wont trigger when a creature deals noncombat damage to a player.
6/22/2015 : If a creature with renown deals combat damage to its controller because that damage was redirected, renown will trigger.
6/22/2015 : If a renown ability triggers, but the creature leaves the battlefield before that ability resolves, the creature doesnt become renowned. Any ability that triggers whenever a creature becomes renowned wont trigger.

Khalni Hydra
: For the purpose of determining the cost reduction, the number of green creatures you control is checked as you cast
Khalni Hydra
, before your last chance to activate mana abilities to pay for it. For example, if you control Wild Cantor (a red and green creature with the ability "Sacrifice Wild Cantor: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool") as you cast
Khalni Hydra
, first the cost to cast
Khalni Hydra
is reduced by G, then you could sacrifice Wild Cantor for mana to help pay for it.
6/15/2010 :
Khalni Hydra
's cost reduction effect doesn't change its mana cost or converted mana cost.
6/15/2010 : If an effect (such as the one from Lodestone Golem) imposes an additional generic mana cost to casting
Khalni Hydra
, the Hydra's ability will reduce it too. It'll reduce the amount of green mana you need to spend first, though.
7/18/2014 : The choice of creature type is made as Obelisk of Urd enters the battlefield. Players cant respond to this choice. The bonus starts applying immediately.
7/18/2014 : The rules for convoke have changed slightly since it last appeared in an expansion. Previously, convoke reduced the cost to cast a spell. Under current rules, you tap creatures at the same time you pay the spells costs. Tapping a creature this way is simply another way to pay.
7/18/2014 : Convoke doesnt change a spells mana cost or converted mana cost.
7/18/2014 : When calculating a spells total cost, include any alternative costs, additional costs, or anything else that increases or reduces the cost to cast the spell. Convoke applies after the total cost is calculated.
7/18/2014 : Because convoke isnt an alternative cost, it can be used in conjunction with alternative costs.
7/18/2014 : Tapping a multicolored creature using convoke will pay for 1 or one mana of your choice of any of that creatures colors.
Primal Command : This card won't be put into your graveyard until after it's finished resolving, which means it won't be shuffled into your library as part of its own effect.
Shaman of the Pack : Count the number of Elves you control as Shaman of the Packs ability resolves, including Shaman of the Pack if its still on the battlefield, to determine how much life is lost.
Sylvan Advocate : A land creature is a permanent thats both a land and a creature.
1/22/2016 : Damage remains marked on creatures until the turn ends. If Sylvan Advocates ability stops applying (because Sylvan Advocate leaves the battlefield or you no longer control six or more lands), then any land creatures that needed the toughness bonus to stay alive will be destroyed.
