More situations

Short excerpts showing how common situations are written. They are not complete games, and IDs are illustrative. All are recorded from PlayerA's seat. Complete games are in the other examples.

The stack

Counterspell

3:10     #40 "Counterspell" cast from hand
3:10     #40 "Counterspell" target #31 "Murktide Regent"
3:10     "PlayerA" pay {U}{U} by cost:#40
...
3:14     #40 "Counterspell" resolve
3:14     #31 "Murktide Regent" countered by #40
3:14     #31 "Murktide Regent" move stack -> graveyard by #40
3:14     #40 "Counterspell" move stack -> graveyard by rule:resolve

Counterspell resolves from the top of the stack and counters Murktide Regent below it (CR 701.6a). Only an object that resolves or fizzles has to be on top.

A trigger with no legal target

PlayerA's Ravenous Chupacabra enters, but PlayerB controls no creatures:

4:02     new ability #45 triggered of #44 "Ravenous Chupacabra" "When this creature enters, destroy target creature an opponent controls." controller "PlayerA" in stack
4:02     #45 cease by rule:no-choice

A triggered ability with no legal target is removed from the stack as it is put there (CR 603.3d).

An intervening "if" that fails

6:00   upkeep
6:00     new ability #51 triggered of #50 "Felidar Sovereign" "At the beginning of your upkeep, if you have 40 or more life, you win the game." controller "PlayerA" in stack
...
6:03     "PlayerA" life 41 -> 38 by #52
...
6:05     #51 resolve
6:05     #51 cease by rule:intervening-if

PlayerB responded with a burn spell. When the trigger resolves, the "if" is checked again and is false, so the ability does nothing (CR 608.2a).

Combat

Attacking taps, except with vigilance

5:20   declare-attackers
5:20     #3 "Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer" attack "PlayerB"
5:20     #3 "Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer" tap by rule:declare-attackers
5:20     #50 "Felidar Sovereign" attack "PlayerB"

Attacking creatures become tapped as they are declared (CR 508.1f). Felidar Sovereign has vigilance, so it doesn't (CR 702.20b).

Tapped and attacking tokens, and an effect that ends at end of combat

5:40     #60 "Geist of Saint Traft" attack "PlayerB"
5:40     #60 "Geist of Saint Traft" tap by rule:declare-attackers
5:40     new ability #61 triggered of #60 "Geist of Saint Traft" "Whenever Geist of Saint Traft attacks, create a 4/4 white Angel creature token with flying that's tapped and attacking. Exile that token at end of combat." controller "PlayerA" in stack
...
5:42     #61 resolve
5:42     new token #62 "Angel" owner "PlayerA" in battlefield tapped attacking "PlayerB" pt 4/4 by #61
5:42     new effect #63 of #60 "Geist of Saint Traft" "Exile that token at end of combat." controller "PlayerA" by #61
5:42     #61 cease by rule:resolve
...
5:47   end-of-combat
5:47     new ability #64 triggered of #60 "Geist of Saint Traft" "Exile that token at end of combat." controller "PlayerA" in stack from #63
5:47     #63 cease by rule:delayed-trigger
...
5:49     #64 resolve
5:49     #62 "Angel" move battlefield -> exile by #64
5:49     #64 cease by rule:resolve
5:49     #62 "Angel" cease by rule:sba

• The Angel enters tapped attacking "PlayerB". It has no attack line because it never "attacked" (CR 508.4).
• "Exile that token at end of combat" is a delayed triggered ability, so it is a new effect (section 9.10 of the spec).
• The token ceases to exist once it is in exile (CR 111.7).

Ninjutsu

6:21   declare-blockers
6:22     new ability #71 activated of #70 "Ninja of the Deep Hours" "Ninjutsu {1}{U}" controller "PlayerA" in stack
6:22     #70 "Ninja of the Deep Hours" reveal by cost:#71
6:22     "PlayerA" pay {U}{C} by cost:#71
6:22     #66 "Delver of Secrets // Insectile Aberration" move battlefield -> hand by cost:#71
...
6:25     #71 resolve
6:25     #70 "Ninja of the Deep Hours" move hand -> battlefield tapped attacking "PlayerB" pt 2/2 by #71
6:25     #71 cease by rule:resolve

Ninjutsu is an activated ability (CR 702.49a). Revealing the Ninja and returning the unblocked attacker are its costs. The Ninja is put onto the battlefield attacking, so it has no attack line.

Prevented damage

7:30   combat-damage
7:30     #3 "Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer" damage "PlayerB" 2 prevented by rule:combat-damage replacement #75

PlayerB cast Fog (#75) earlier in the turn. The damage is never dealt (CR 615.6), so there is no life change. The line records what would have happened, and replacement #75 says why it didn't.

Power and toughness

Power and toughness are recorded as they change, with the cause, like life totals.

A pump spell

5:30     #180 "Giant Growth" resolve
5:30     #3 "Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer" pt 2/1 -> 5/4 by #180
5:30     #180 "Giant Growth" move stack -> graveyard by rule:resolve
...
6:10   cleanup
6:10     #3 "Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer" pt 5/4 -> 2/1 by rule:cleanup

"Until end of turn" changes end in the cleanup step (CR 514.2).

A land that becomes a creature

7:02     new ability #185 activated of #184 "Mutavault" "{1}: This land becomes a 2/2 creature with all creature types until end of turn. It's still a land." controller "PlayerA" in stack
...
7:04     #185 resolve
7:04     #184 "Mutavault" pt none -> 2/2 by #185
...
7:40     #184 "Mutavault" pt 2/2 -> none by rule:cleanup

A noncreature permanent has no power or toughness (CR 208.3), written none.

A characteristic-defining ability

8:15     #188 "Thoughtseize" move stack -> graveyard by rule:resolve
8:15     #187 "Tarmogoyf" pt 2/3 -> 3/4 by #187

Tarmogoyf's size depends on the card types in all graveyards (CR 604.3). When a sorcery hits a graveyard that had none, it grows, caused by its own ability.

Cost changes

Thalia and Trinisphere

PlayerB controls Thalia, Guardian of Thraben (#30, "Noncreature spells cost {1} more to cast") and an untapped Trinisphere (#31, "each spell that would cost less than three mana to cast costs three mana to cast"). PlayerA casts Thoughtseize, whose mana cost is {B}:

5:10     #2 "Thoughtseize" cast from hand
5:10     #2 "Thoughtseize" target "PlayerB"
5:10     #2 "Thoughtseize" cost {B} -> {1}{B} by #30
5:10     #2 "Thoughtseize" cost {1}{B} -> {2}{B} by #31
5:10     "PlayerA" pay {U}{B}{B} by cost:#2

• The total cost is worked out after the targets are chosen and before it is paid (CR 601.2f), so the cost lines sit between the target line and the pay line.
• Thalia's increase applies first. Trinisphere applies last, because it sets the total cost once increases and reductions are done ("Once the total cost is determined, any effects that directly affect the total cost are applied", CR 601.2f). {1}{B} is two mana, so Trinisphere makes it {2}{B}.
• Thoughtseize would cost {2}{B} under Trinisphere alone, but Thalia's line is still written: both effects applied, and each line names one of them.
• Generic mana in a cost can be paid with any type of mana (CR 107.4b), so {2}{B} is paid with {U}{B}{B}. Paying the changed cost counts as paying the original cost (CR 118.7).
• If Trinisphere were tapped, its ability would not apply, so there would be no line for it. A spell whose cost nothing changes has no cost line at all.

Phyrexian mana: Dismember

With the same Thalia (#30) and Trinisphere (#31) on the battlefield, PlayerA casts Dismember ({1}{B/P}{B/P}) on PlayerB's Scion of Draco, paying both Phyrexian symbols with life:

5:40     #3 "Dismember" cast from hand
5:40     #3 "Dismember" choose symbol {B/P} life
5:40     #3 "Dismember" choose symbol {B/P} life
5:40     #3 "Dismember" target #41 "Scion of Draco"
5:40     #3 "Dismember" cost {1} -> {2} by #30
5:40     #3 "Dismember" cost {2} -> {3} by #31
...
5:41     "PlayerA" pay {U}{B}{C} by cost:#3
5:41     "PlayerA" life 14 -> 10 by cost:#3

• How each hybrid or Phyrexian symbol will be paid is announced with the other cost choices, before targets (CR 601.2b). Each symbol gets its own choose symbol line.
• The total cost is then worked out from what was announced. Paying 4 life leaves {1} of mana, which Thalia makes {2} and Trinisphere makes {3}. The life is part of the cost, so its line is by cost:#3.
• Paying with mana instead would be two choose symbol {B/P} {B} lines and a cost of {1}{B}{B}. Thalia would make it {2}{B}{B}, which is already four mana, so Trinisphere would add nothing and write no line. The announcement changes the result, which is why it is recorded. See decisions/0033-hybrid-and-phyrexian-mana.md.

Delve: Murktide Regent

PlayerA casts Murktide Regent ({5}{U}{U}), exiling Fatal Push and Consider from their graveyard with delve:

7:02     #6 "Murktide Regent" cast from hand
...
7:03     #9 "Fatal Push" move graveyard -> exile with #6 by cost:#6
7:03     #10 "Consider" move graveyard -> exile with #6 by cost:#6
7:03     "PlayerA" pay {U}{U}{B}{C}{C} by cost:#6
...
7:06     #6 "Murktide Regent" resolve
7:06     #6 "Murktide Regent" move stack -> battlefield pt 5/5 by rule:resolve
7:06     #6 "Murktide Regent" counters "+1/+1" 0 -> 2 by #6

• Delve is not a cost change: it lets cards from the graveyard pay for generic mana once the total cost is known (CR 702.66a, 702.66b). So there is no cost line. Each exiled card is a move caused by cost:#6, next to the pay line. Two cards and five mana pay for {5}{U}{U}.
• with #6 links the exiled cards to Murktide. It "enters with a +1/+1 counter on it for each instant and sorcery card exiled with it", and cards exiled to pay a permanent spell's cost stay linked to the permanent it becomes (CR 607.2q), so the link survives the move from the stack to the battlefield. Keyframes list #9 "Fatal Push" exile with #6.
• Murktide enters with its counters (CR 122.6), so it enters as a 5/5 and the counters line follows the move. There is no pt line, because its power and toughness never changed after it entered.
• Convoke and improvise are written the same way, with a tap ... by cost:ID line for each creature or artifact tapped. See decisions/0034-delve-convoke-and-improvise.md.

Casting for free: cascade into Living End under Trinisphere

PlayerA casts Violent Outburst ({1}{R}{G}, cascade) while PlayerB controls an untapped Trinisphere (#31). Violent Outburst already costs three mana, so Trinisphere doesn't change it. The cascade trigger finds Living End, which has no mana cost:

6:30     new ability #51 triggered of #50 "Violent Outburst" "Cascade (When you cast this spell, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card that costs less. You may cast it without paying its mana cost. Put the exiled cards on the bottom in a random order.)" controller "PlayerA" in stack
...
6:34     #51 resolve
6:34     new card #52 "Forest" owner "PlayerA" in library top 1
6:34     #52 "Forest" move library -> exile by #51
6:34     new card #53 "Swamp" owner "PlayerA" in library top 1
6:34     #53 "Swamp" move library -> exile by #51
6:34     new card #54 "Living End" owner "PlayerA" in library top 1
6:34     #54 "Living End" move library -> exile by #51
6:36     #54 "Living End" cast from exile by #51
6:36     #54 "Living End" choose cost "without paying its mana cost"
6:36     #54 "Living End" cost {0} -> {3} by #31
...
6:37     "PlayerA" pay {B}{R}{G} by cost:#54
6:37     #52 "Forest" move exile -> library bottom by #51
6:37     #53 "Swamp" move exile -> library bottom by #51
6:37     #51 cease by rule:resolve

• Cascade exiles cards one at a time from the top, so each is top 1 when it is introduced. They are exiled face up, so they are named.
• Living End is cast while the cascade trigger is resolving, so its cast line names the trigger as its cause (by #51). A card cast as the player's own action has no cause on its cast line.
• Casting a spell without paying its mana cost is an alternative cost (CR 118.9), recorded like any other: choose cost "without paying its mana cost". Living End has no mana cost, which normally can't be paid, but an alternative cost can be (CR 118.6a).
• Cost increases apply to an alternative cost (CR 118.9d). The alternative cost is {0}, which is less than three mana, so Trinisphere makes it {3}. If PlayerA could not pay {3}, they could not cast Living End, and it would go to the bottom with the others.
• The other exiled cards go to the bottom in a random order (CR 702.85a). The order of their lines is not their order in the library, so later keyframes give them no position.
• Casting from suspend is written the same way, with the cast caused by the trigger that removed the last time counter (CR 702.62a, 702.62d). See decisions/0036-casting-without-paying-the-mana-cost.md.

Faces and halves

Split cards

8:02     #80 "Fire // Ice" cast from hand face "Ice"
8:02     #80 "Fire // Ice" target #12 "Urza's Tower"
...
8:02         #80 "Fire // Ice" face "Ice" controller "PlayerA" target #12 "Urza's Tower"

The player chooses which half to cast (CR 709.3). The name is always the whole card's; face says which half, including in stack snapshots.

A split card with fuse can be cast with both halves at once. PlayerA casts Wear // Tear fused, destroying PlayerB's Ensnaring Bridge and Blood Moon:

3:10     #70 "Wear // Tear" cast from hand fused
3:10     #70 "Wear // Tear" target #71 "Ensnaring Bridge"
3:10     #70 "Wear // Tear" target #72 "Blood Moon"
3:10     "PlayerA" pay {W}{R}{C} by cost:#70
...
3:10         #70 "Wear // Tear" fused controller "PlayerA" target #71 "Ensnaring Bridge" target #72 "Blood Moon"
...
3:14     #70 "Wear // Tear" resolve
3:14     #71 "Ensnaring Bridge" move battlefield -> graveyard as destroy by #70
3:14     #72 "Blood Moon" move battlefield -> graveyard as destroy by #70
3:14     #70 "Wear // Tear" move stack -> graveyard by rule:resolve

• fused replaces face: the spell has both halves' characteristics (CR 702.102b), and its cost includes both mana costs, {1}{R} and {W} (CR 702.102c).
• Targets are written left half first, then right half, the order its instructions are followed in (CR 702.102d). See decisions/0035-fuse.md.

Adventures

8:30     #82 "Bonecrusher Giant // Stomp" cast from hand face "Stomp"
...
8:33     #82 "Bonecrusher Giant // Stomp" resolve
8:33     #82 "Bonecrusher Giant // Stomp" damage #3 "Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer" 2 by #82
8:33     #82 "Bonecrusher Giant // Stomp" move stack -> exile by rule:resolve

An Adventure that resolves is exiled instead of going to the graveyard (CR 715.3d). Keyframes mark it as on an adventure:

9:00     #82 "Bonecrusher Giant // Stomp" exile adventure "PlayerA"

Later, PlayerA casts the creature from exile:

9:12     #82 "Bonecrusher Giant // Stomp" cast from exile face "Bonecrusher Giant"

Modal double-faced cards

2:05     #84 "Agadeem's Awakening // Agadeem, the Undercrypt" choose option "don't pay 3 life"
2:05     #84 "Agadeem's Awakening // Agadeem, the Undercrypt" play from hand face "Agadeem, the Undercrypt" tapped

Transforming

4:00   upkeep
4:00     new ability #86 triggered of #66 "Delver of Secrets // Insectile Aberration" "At the beginning of your upkeep, look at the top card of your library. You may reveal that card. If an instant or sorcery card is revealed this way, transform this creature." controller "PlayerA" in stack
...
4:02     #86 resolve
4:02     new card #87 "Consider" owner "PlayerA" in library top 1
4:02     #87 "Consider" look "PlayerA" by #86
4:02     #87 "Consider" reveal by #86
4:02     #66 "Delver of Secrets // Insectile Aberration" transform by #86
4:02     #66 "Delver of Secrets // Insectile Aberration" pt 1/1 -> 3/2 by #86
4:02     #86 cease by rule:resolve

Keyframes show the face that is up:

4:30     #66 "Delver of Secrets // Insectile Aberration" battlefield "PlayerA" face "Insectile Aberration" pt 3/2

Copies

Entering as a copy

9:40     #90 "Phantasmal Image" resolve
9:40     #90 "Phantasmal Image" become-copy #3 "Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer" by #90
9:40     #90 "Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer" move stack -> battlefield pt 2/1 by rule:resolve
...
9:58     #90 "Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer" move battlefield -> graveyard as sacrifice by #92
9:58     #90 "Phantasmal Image" move graveyard -> exile by #95

Phantasmal Image enters as a copy (CR 707.5), so become-copy comes before the move onto the battlefield. From then on its name is Ragavan's. Once it leaves the battlefield the copy effect no longer applies (CR 400.7), and it is Phantasmal Image again.

Copying an ability

10:20     new ability #101 activated of #100 "Strionic Resonator" "{2}, {T}: Copy target triggered ability you control. You may choose new targets for the copy." controller "PlayerA" in stack
10:20     #101 target #98
...
10:24     #101 resolve
10:24     new copy #102 of #98 controller "PlayerA" in stack by #101
10:24     #101 cease by rule:resolve

A copy of an ability has the original's text and choices (CR 707.10), so it needs no text of its own.

Copying a spell: replicate

PlayerB casts a kicked Sowing Mycospawn (#60), and its two cast triggers (#61, #62) go on the stack above it. PlayerA answers with Consign to Memory, paying replicate twice:

6:02     #63 "Consign to Memory" cast from hand
6:02     #63 "Consign to Memory" choose cost "replicate"
6:02     #63 "Consign to Memory" choose cost "replicate"
6:02     #63 "Consign to Memory" target #60 "Sowing Mycospawn"
6:02     "PlayerA" pay {U}{U}{U} by cost:#63
6:02     new ability #64 triggered of #63 "Consign to Memory" "Replicate {1} (When you cast this spell, copy it for each time you paid its replicate cost. You may choose new targets for the copies.)" controller "PlayerA" in stack
...
6:05     #64 resolve
6:05     new copy #65 of #63 "Consign to Memory" owner "PlayerA" in stack by #64
6:05     #65 "Consign to Memory" target #61
6:05     new copy #66 of #63 "Consign to Memory" owner "PlayerA" in stack by #64
6:05     #66 "Consign to Memory" target #62
6:05     #64 cease by rule:resolve
6:05     "PlayerA" priority
6:05       stack
6:05         #66 "Consign to Memory" controller "PlayerA" cost "replicate" cost "replicate" target #62
6:05         #65 "Consign to Memory" controller "PlayerA" cost "replicate" cost "replicate" target #61
6:05         #63 "Consign to Memory" controller "PlayerA" cost "replicate" cost "replicate" target #60 "Sowing Mycospawn"
6:05         #62 triggered of #60 "Sowing Mycospawn" "When you cast this spell, if it was kicked, exile target land." controller "PlayerB" target #17 "Urza's Tower"
6:05         #61 triggered of #60 "Sowing Mycospawn" "When you cast this spell, search your library for a land card, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle." controller "PlayerB"
6:05         #60 "Sowing Mycospawn" controller "PlayerB" cost "kicker"
...
6:09     #66 "Consign to Memory" resolve
6:09     #62 countered by #66
6:09     #62 cease by #66
6:09     #66 "Consign to Memory" move stack -> graveyard by rule:resolve
6:09     #66 "Consign to Memory" cease by rule:sba

Replicate paid twice is two choose cost lines, one per payment (CR 702.56a). Each copy has the original's choices (CR 707.10), so the copies also show both replicate costs, and the target line after each copy's new line replaces the copied target, Mycospawn, with one of the triggers (CR 707.10c). Mycospawn has devoid, so it is a colorless spell Consign can target (CR 702.114a). The copies were not cast (CR 707.10): an opponent's Chalice of the Void with one counter would trigger on the original Consign only, and counter it while the copies still resolve. The other two Consigns resolve the same way.

Links between objects

Ugin's Labyrinth #7 exiled Emrakul #5. Later, Labyrinth is returned to its owner's hand and played again:

11:02     #7 "Ugin's Labyrinth" move battlefield -> hand by #110
11:30     #7 "Ugin's Labyrinth" play from hand

The returned Labyrinth is a new object (CR 400.7), so its link to Emrakul is gone (CR 607.2a). The next keyframe lists #5 "Emrakul, the Exigent Doom" exile without with #7, and Labyrinth now taps for {C}.

Special actions

Companion

Before the game, after the starting player is chosen, PlayerA reveals Lurrus as their companion (CR 103.2b):

0:11   "PlayerB" choose first "PlayerA"
0:12   new card #120 "Lurrus of the Dream-Den" owner "PlayerA" in outside "sideboard"
0:12   #120 "Lurrus of the Dream-Den" reveal by #120

The companion is a sideboard card, so it is outside "sideboard" like any other. Revealing it is caused by its own companion ability, the same way Chancellor of the Annex's reveal is. If the opponent reveals a companion, the line is the same with their name as owner: the card is public from then on, so it is a new card, not a hidden one.

The card stays outside the game, and every keyframe lists it until it is put into the game, so a viewer at any turn can show it:

2:58     #120 "Lurrus of the Dream-Den" outside "sideboard" "PlayerA" companion

On turn 3, PlayerA pays {3} to put it into their hand:

3:00     #120 "Lurrus of the Dream-Den" special companion
3:00     "PlayerA" pay {B}{C}{C} by cost:#120
3:00     #120 "Lurrus of the Dream-Den" move outside "sideboard" -> hand by #120

Putting a companion into hand is a special action (CR 116.2g). Its {3} cost is by cost: the card itself. From here it is an ordinary card in hand, and it stays in the game until the game ends (CR 702.139c), so later keyframes list it wherever it is, without companion.

Suspend

2:10     #125 "Crashing Footfalls" special suspend
2:10     "PlayerA" pay {G} by cost:#125
2:10     #125 "Crashing Footfalls" move hand -> exile by #125
2:10     #125 "Crashing Footfalls" counters "time" 0 -> 4 by #125

Cards from outside the game

A wish: Karn, the Great Creator

PlayerA activates Karn's −2 and takes Liquimetal Coating from their sideboard. This is the case from the prototype file, where it appeared only as "appears in hand from sideboard".

6:10     new ability #130 loyalty of #128 "Karn, the Great Creator" "−2: You may reveal an artifact card you own from outside the game or choose a face-up artifact card you own in exile. Put that card into your hand." controller "PlayerA" in stack
6:10     #128 "Karn, the Great Creator" counters "loyalty" 5 -> 3 by cost:#130
...
6:14     #130 resolve
6:14     new card #131 "Liquimetal Coating" owner "PlayerA" in outside "sideboard"
6:14     #131 "Liquimetal Coating" reveal by #130
6:14     #131 "Liquimetal Coating" move outside "sideboard" -> hand by #130
6:14     #130 cease by rule:resolve

• "Cards in a player's sideboard are outside the game" (CR 400.11a), and outside the game is not a zone (CR 400.11), so the card is introduced in outside "sideboard" at the moment it is first seen.
• Revealing it and putting it into the hand are both caused by the ability (#130).
• The card now stays in the game until it ends (CR 400.11b). The next game's decklist still lists it as a sideboard card, because the deck is only changed between games (CR 100.4).
• The ability text keeps the Oracle text's minus sign (U+2212). Writers record the text as their source reports it.

Turn-based actions and player choices

Saga lore counters

3:00   precombat-main
3:00     #130 "Urza's Saga" counters "lore" 1 -> 2 by rule:lore
3:00     new ability #131 triggered of #130 "Urza's Saga" "Chapter II: This Saga gains \"{2}, {T}: Create a 0/0 colorless Construct artifact creature token with 'This token gets +1/+1 for each artifact you control.'\"" controller "PlayerA" in stack

A lore counter is a turn-based action as the precombat main phase begins (CR 703.4f).

The legend rule

5:00     "PlayerA" choose object #3 "Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer" by rule:sba
5:00     #140 "Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer" move battlefield -> graveyard by rule:sba

The legend rule's choice belongs to no spell or ability, so it is a player choice with a rule cause (CR 704.5j).

Searching an opponent's library

Lasting effects and designations

A delayed trigger from an opening hand reveal

PlayerA, on the draw, reveals Devourer of Destiny from their opening hand: "You may reveal this card from your opening hand. If you do, at the beginning of your first upkeep, look at the top four cards of your library. You may put one of those cards back on top of your library. Exile the rest."

0:30   #90 "Devourer of Destiny" reveal by #90
0:30   new effect #95 of #90 "Devourer of Destiny" "At the beginning of your first upkeep, look at the top four cards of your library. You may put one of those cards back on top of your library. Exile the rest." controller "PlayerA" by #90

Revealing the card creates a delayed triggered ability (CR 603.7a). It is recorded like any other delayed trigger (section 9.10): a new effect caused by the card. The card stays revealed until the first turn begins (CR 103.6b), which needs no line. It then stays in PlayerA's hand, and the effect waits in every keyframe until it triggers. PlayerA's first upkeep is on turn 2:

1:05 turn 2 "PlayerA"

...
1:05     #90 "Devourer of Destiny" hand "PlayerA"

1:12     #101 cease by rule:resolve

1:12     #103 "Sowing Mycospawn" move library -> hand as draw by rule:draw

• The trigger names its effect with from #95, and the effect ceases as it triggers, because it triggers only once (CR 603.7b).
• PlayerA learns all four names, so they are new card lines at their positions.
• Choosing the card to keep is a choose object. That card never leaves the library: once the other three are exiled it is the top card, and PlayerA draws it in the draw step.

From PlayerB's seat, the reveal is #90 identify "Devourer of Destiny" followed by the same reveal and new effect lines: the reveal is public, so the effect is too. Their look lines name PlayerA. PlayerB learns the names of the three exiled cards as they leave the library (they are exiled face up), so those are new card lines; only the card PlayerA keeps is new hidden (section 6.5).

Goad

9:00     #150 "Grizzly Bears" end-goad "PlayerA" by rule:duration

A goaded creature stays goaded until its goader's next turn (CR 701.15a), so keyframes show it. Whether it had to attack is not recorded; its attack line is.

Day and night

4:10     #160 "Graveyard Trespasser // Graveyard Glutton" move stack -> battlefield pt 3/3 by rule:resolve
4:10     day by #160

6:00     #160 "Graveyard Trespasser // Graveyard Glutton" pt 3/3 -> 4/4 by #160

The game starts as neither day nor night (CR 731.1). A daybound permanent entering makes it day. If the active player casts no spells on their turn, it becomes night in the next untap step (CR 731.2a), and daybound permanents transform. Keyframes show day or night after the player entries.

Emblems

12:00     #170 resolve
12:00     new emblem #171 "You have no maximum hand size." owner "PlayerA" by #170

Tamiyo, Seasoned Scholar's -7 gives PlayerA an emblem in the command zone (CR 114.2). Keyframes list it as #171 command "PlayerA" emblem "You have no maximum hand size.".
