719. Case Cards 🔗 ☆

• ☆ 719.1 🔗 Each Case card’s illustration is vertically oriented on the left side of the card, and its type line is along the bottom of the card.
• ☆ 719.2 🔗 The Case frame has no additional rules meaning.
• ☆ 719.3 🔗 Case cards have two special keyword abilities that appear before a long dash and represent a triggered ability and an ability that may be static, triggered, or activated.
  • ☆ 719.3a 🔗 “To solve — [Condition]” means “At the beginning of your end step, if [condition] and this Case is not solved, this Case becomes solved.”
  • ☆ 719.3b 🔗 Solved is a designation a permanent can have. It has no rules meaning other than to act as a marker that spells and abilities can identify. Once a permanent becomes solved, it stays solved until it leaves the battlefield. The solved designation is neither an ability nor part of the permanent’s copiable values.
  • ☆ 719.3c 🔗 If a Case has the solved designation, “Solved — [Ability text]” is an ability that may affect the game if it’s a static ability, it may trigger if it’s a triggered ability, and it can be activated if it’s an activated ability. See rule 702.169, “Solved.” (refs: 702.169)
