Rulings (11)

  1. February 2, 2024

    Cases don't lose their other abilities when they become solved.

  2. February 2, 2024

    Once a Case becomes solved, it stays solved until it leaves the battlefield.

  3. February 2, 2024

    The "to solve" ability of Case of the Gorgon's Kiss looks at what type the cards are after they move to the graveyard to determine whether the ability should trigger, regardless of any types they may have had before they were in the graveyard. For example, a creature card that has become a noncreature permanent will count toward the ability's condition when it's put into a graveyard. By contrast, a noncreature card that has become a creature on the battlefield will not count toward the ability's condition when it's put into a graveyard.

  4. February 2, 2024

    "To solve" abilities will check for their condition twice: once when the ability would trigger, and once when it resolves. If the condition isn't true at the beginning of your end step, the ability won't trigger at all. If the condition isn't true when the ability resolves, the Case won't become solved.

  5. February 2, 2024

    Tokens are not cards and, as such, do not count toward Case of the Gorgon's Kiss "to solve" ability.

  6. February 2, 2024

    "To Solve — [condition]" means "At the beginning of your end step, if [condition] and this Case is not solved, it becomes solved."

  7. February 2, 2024

    "Solved — [static ability]" means "As long as this Case is solved, [static ability]." Static abilities are written as statements, such as "Creatures you control get +1/+1" or "Instant and sorcery spells you cast cost one generic mana less to cast."

  8. February 2, 2024

    The meaning of "solved" differs based on what type of ability follows it. "Solved — [activated ability]" means "[Activated ability]. Activate only if this Case is solved." Activated abilities contain a colon. They're generally written "[Cost]: [Effect]."

  9. February 2, 2024

    Being solved is not part of a permanent's copiable values. A permanent that becomes a copy of a solved Case is not solved. A solved Case that somehow becomes a copy of a different Case stays solved.

  10. February 2, 2024

    Each Case has two special keyword abilities: to solve and solved.

  11. February 2, 2024

    "Solved — [Triggered ability]" means "[Triggered ability]. This ability triggers only if this Case is solved." Triggered abilities use the word "when," "whenever," or "at." They're often written as "[Trigger condition], [effect]."
