Rulings

11/8/2024	Temur Elevator’s last ability is a mana ability. It doesn’t use the stack and can’t be responded to.
11/8/2024	Once you have the city’s blessing, you have it for the rest of the game, even if you lose control of some or all your permanents. The city’s blessing isn’t a permanent itself and can’t be removed by any effect (well, except by Naturalize 2).
11/8/2024	A permanent is any object on the battlefield, including tokens and lands. Spells and emblems aren’t permanents.
11/8/2024	If you control ten permanents but don’t control a permanent or resolving spell with ascend, you don’t get the city’s blessing. For example, if you control ten permanents, lose control of two, then play Temur Elevator, you won’t have the city’s blessing.
11/8/2024	If your tenth permanent enters the battlefield and then a permanent leaves the battlefield immediately afterward (most likely due to the “legend rule” or due to being a creature with 0 toughness), you get the city’s blessing before it leaves the battlefield.
11/8/2024	Ascend on a permanent isn’t a triggered ability and doesn’t use the stack. Players can respond to a spell that will give you your tenth permanent, but they can’t respond to you getting the city’s blessing once you control that tenth permanent. This means that if your tenth permanent is a land you play, players can’t respond before you get the city’s blessing.
11/8/2024	Playtest cards aren’t legal for play in any tournament format other than Mystery Booster Limited formats. On the other hand, we expect they will spice up a wide variety of non-tournament games (as long as everyone’s on the same page about using them!).
11/8/2024	Playtest cards use a modified version of game symbols, such as and . These modified symbols should be treated as the standard symbols during play.
11/8/2024	For many playtest cards, you’ll need to make a generous assumption that basic game rules would be updated to allow them to work. The Mystery Booster 2 Playtest Card Notes section (reproduced here in individual Gatherer rulings) provides guidance for fitting these cards into the existing rules structure.
