- November 8, 2024 — If a permanent card in your library has no mana symbols in its upper right corner (because it's a land card, for example), its mana value is 0. Such cards can always be put onto the battlefield with Genesis Wave.
- November 8, 2024 — You don't have to put permanent cards revealed this way onto the battlefield if you choose not to, regardless of their mana values.
- November 8, 2024 — All of the permanents put onto the battlefield this way enter at the same time. If any have triggered abilities that trigger on something else entering, they'll see each other.
