Rulings & errata

›Is the first friendly unit on Deathgrip a cost or a target? When do I kill it, and what happens if I don’t?

Deathgrip uses a nonstandard wording that we normally avoid, precisely because of these ambiguities. We’re issuing errata to bring it more in line with how other cards and abilities work. This errata establishes that 1) the friendly unit is a target, not a cost; 2) it is chosen along with the other friendly unit and killed as the spell resolves; 3) if you don’t actually kill it for any reason, either because it’s no longer a legal target or because you replaced its death with an effect like Zhonya’s Hourglass, you do not give the second friendly unit any Might. (You do still draw 1; we’ve introduced a paragraph break to make that clear.)

Deathgrip (revised text)

[Reaction] (Play any time, even before spells and abilities resolve.)

Kill a friendly unit. If you do, give +[M] equal to its Might to another friendly unit this turn.

Draw 1.

›Does Edge of Night’s auto-attach ability work?

Because unattended gear at battlefields are recalled, Edge of Night does a strange little dance on its way to becoming attached, returning to your base while its ability is on the chain. And because of that dance, it’s no longer “here” when the attachment is supposed to happen. We need to change its wording so it can still find the unit you chose.

But we don’t want any confusion here—the card works exactly the same as it did before. The Hidden rules still require that you choose a unit at the battlefield where you played it from face down. For that reason, we’ve included reminder text in the errata.
