• curprev 18:5618:56, 4 September 2022‎ Jerodast talk contribs‎ 8,903 bytes +205‎ Rephrased to clarify that enchant, among MANY others, is a keyword ability whose rules describe targeting. As the page said, the word may appear in either the card text or in the definition of keyword abilities on the card, but rephrased to emphasize this further. While "enchant" is a rather complex keyword, it is not an exception to anything stated here, but it is a good example. Used 4 example keywords to get a broad range of keyword types that all invoke targeting rules. undo

Maybe THIS is the right way to group together the different forms of fizzling while still letting them have their own space and without losing that point about fizzling/counters in general? undo Tag: Source edit

Any implied point about target validity is a) much less common or confused and b) already addressed above with the mention of type-changing making targets invalid. However, this was a perfect reminder of the need to clarify the difference between damage/other actual effects vs targeting... undo Tag: Source edit

• curprev 02:5002:50, 31 December 2021‎ Jerodast talk contribs‎ 7,306 bytes +423‎ Moving spell redirection notes into one place; non-rules notes don't belong under Rules. / Maro defined it as "with a single target" but several spells (Commandeer, Sudden Substitution, Deflecting Swat, Emissary of Grudges, Sideswipe, Wild Ricochet, Spellskite) change multi-target spell targets, without copying, and they're R/U too, so I'm dropping that clause. / Was skeptical of card count since seems hard to source, but I made Scryfall query and it's pretty close - actually a bit higher! undo Tag: Source edit

• curprev 02:0502:05, 31 December 2021‎ Jerodast talk contribs‎ 6,883 bytes +437‎ Since it seems like everyone wants to lump "illegal targets" interactions together, I'll rewrite into 2 paragraphs. Maybe they should just be their own section? Added examples for triggers since it was a bit vague before (also, Ward example added earlier didn't really make sense in terms of invalid targets, since that's not at all how it works, but it is a great example of targeting-triggered abilities). Not sure why "effects...allow" was thought to be wrong pluralization, changing it back. undo Tag: Source edit
• curprev 00:1700:17, 31 December 2021‎ Jerodast talk contribs‎ 6,446 bytes +326‎ Brought up the "countered by game rules" phrase someone added below, which I think is much more relevant here. Added note to avoid the laborious "spells or abilities" phrasing every 10 words. Used more common "response" term instead of "reaction". Cleaned up a few other bits. undo Tag: Source edit

• curprev 23:5923:59, 30 December 2021‎ Jerodast talk contribs‎ 6,120 bytes +118‎ "Up to X targets" is NOT an exception to the "may take action" rules - it doesn't use the word "may" at all, so how could it create an exception to those rules? These are similar but contrasting templates; neither is an exception to the other. Also specifically pointed out "up to one" which is directly related to the old phrasing. (Also, removed excessive plural hedging, which hurts readability for the sake of very technical semantics which are already implied with the singular version.) undo Tag: Source edit
