Rulings
- April 17, 2020 — If a card in a player's library has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
- April 17, 2020 — Fiend Artisan's first ability applies only while it's on the battlefield.
- April 17, 2020 — Because damage remains marked on a creature until the damage is removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to Fiend Artisan may become lethal if creature cards leave your graveyard during that turn.
