↑ Section 722. Preparation Cards

722.2 The text that appears in the inset frame on the right defines alternative characteristics that the object may have while it’s a spell. The card’s normal characteristics appear as usual, although with a smaller text box on the left. ☆

• ☆ 722.2a 🔗 The inset frame of a preparation card is called a “prepare spell.” If a rule or effect refers to a card, spell, or permanent that has a prepare spell, it refers to an object for which these alternative characteristics exist, even if the object currently doesn’t use them.
• ☆ 722.2b 🔗 The existence and values of these alternative characteristics are part of the object’s copiable values.
• ☆ 722.2c 🔗 Although preparation cards are printed with multiple sets of characteristics, each preparation card is only one card. For example, a player who has drawn or discarded a preparation card has drawn or discarded one card, not two.
