Rulings
- February 1, 2006 — You can play the card this turn, not just during the resolution of the ability.
- October 1, 2008 — This has the supertype world. When a world permanent enters, any world permanents that were already on the battlefield are put into their owners' graveyards. This is a state-based action called the "world rule." The new world permanent stays on the battlefield. If two world permanents enter at the same time, they're both put into their owners' graveyards.
