@node FALLE "The Fallen"
The Fallen:
  Will not damage the controller, only opponents of the controller.  So, if
    you managed to take control of someone else's The Fallen after being
    damaged by it, you will not be damaged. [Aahz 02/08/95]  Unlike Black
    Vice which targets only when it is cast, this card actually chooses 
    players each upkeep and will not choose an illegal target.
  The effect is not cumulative.  If a player is hit more than once, they 
    still only take one damage from The Fallen each turn.
  This card is not targeted and so it cannot be redirected. [Aahz 08/15/95]
  It stops damaging players and forgets which players it damaged when it
    leaves play. [Duelist Magazine #9, Page 35]
  If put into an Oubliette or Tawnos's Coffin it will not forget which players
    it damaged. [WotC Rules Team 10/18/95]

@node FALAN "Fallen Angel"
Fallen Angel:
  You can sacrifice as many creatures as you want to the Angel at any time
    that fast effects are allowed. [Aahz 06/14/94]
  Can sacrifice itself. [Duelist Magazine #5, Page 123]
+ The two versions do not operate differently. [D'Angelo 06/28/96]  (REVERSAL
    due to WotC Rules Team 06/27/96)  Before, it was possible to multiply
    pump the Chronicles version.

@endnode
@node FALST "Falling Star"
Falling Star:
  It must flip like a coin and not like a frisbee. [Aahz 06/16/94]
  Only cards touched when it stops moving are affected.  Not ones touched
    while it is moving. [Aahz 06/16/94]
  Has been on the Duelist Convocation banned list (not allowed in decks)
    since 11/01/95.  It was on the Convocation restricted list (only 1 per 
    deck) for tournaments from 08/01/94 to 11/01/95.
 @{" Card Information " link LG_RED.guide/FALLI}
@endnode
@node FALDE "False Demise"
False Demise:
  Since False Demise's effect follows the standard timing rules for triggered
    effects, if both players have False Demise on the same creature, then the
    player whose turn it is when the creature goes to the graveyard will get
    it.  The other False Demise effect will fizzle. [bethmo 06/17/96]
+ Token creatures are removed from the game prior to False Demise's triggered
    effect resolving.  [Aahz 06/18/96] The continuous effect of removing
    tokens is "faster" than triggered effects.
 @{" Card Information " link AI_BLUE.guide/FALSE}
@endnode
@node FALSE "False Orders"
False Orders:
  As errata, this spell is used during the "Declare Blockers" step of the
    attack and not during the fast-effects step that follows.  It is used
    after all blocker assignments are made but before any effects due to
    assignment of blockers take place.  This is considered a change to the
    blocking assignment. [Duelist Magazine #8, Page 47]
  "defending creature" should be read as "a creature the defending player
    controls." [D'Angelo 08/11/95]
  Can only give legal orders to a creature.  If your opponent could not
    make the choice on their own, False Orders cannot make them do it.
    [bethmo]
  You cannot use this spell to make a creature not block a Lured creature
    because that is not a legal action. [bethmo]
  You cannot use this spell to add a creature to block or to remove a creature
    from blocking when Goblin War Drums is in effect, unless the resulting
    block is still legal. [Aahz 01/27/95]
  If something happens between the casting and resolution of False Orders
    which makes the blocking choice illegal, then the spell fizzles.
    [Aahz 06/06/94]  Note that it should not be possible any more given the
    errata that makes False Orders happen at the end of the declare blockers
    step.
  If a creature is removed from being a blocker of a given attacker, any
    effects on the creatures that would have happened because it was declared
    as a blocker do not happen. [WotC Rules Team 09/22/95] (This is a
    REVERSAL)
  If a creature is added as a blocker to a given attacker, any effects on
    the creatures that would happen due to this, do happen. 
    [WotC Rules Team 09/22/95]
 @{" Card Information " link UL_RED.guide/FALSE}
@endnode
@node FARMS "Farmstead"
Farmstead:
  Only one life per turn can be gained from this card.  This is errata to
    the card. [WotC Rules Team 06/15/95]  Some people have read the card to 
    say that it can be used multiple times during a turn, but this is 
    incorrect.
  Payment is not an activation cost, so it is not affected by the Revised
    Gloom card. [Aahz 06/06/94]
  Note that the controller of the enchantment is the only one that can pay
    the cost, but the controller of the land is the one that gets the life
    point. [WotC Rules Team 10/12/94]
  It is used on the controller of Farmstead's upkeep and not the controller
    of the land's upkeep unless they are the same person. 
    [WotC Rules Team 06/15/95]
 @{" Card Information " link 3E_WHITE.guide/FARMS}
@endnode
@node FAPRI "Farrelite Priest"
Farrelite Priest:
  Mana which "changes color" as it goes through the Priest forgets its
    original source because the old mana gets used up and new mana gets 
    generated. [Aahz 01/24/95]
 @{" Card Information " link FE_WHITE.guide/FARPR}
@endnode
@node FAMAN "Farrel's Mantle"
Farrel's Mantle:
  See the @{"Is Not Blocked" link MTG_GEN_RULINGS.guide/TOP_INBL} entry in the General Rulings for more information.
  As errata to the card "opponent" should be read as "defending player".
    Thus, when the ability is used, it does no damage to the defending player.
    [Duelist Magazine #6, Page 131]
  This enchantment gives the creature the ability to deal damage, and
    therefore the damage is considered to come from the creature and not from
    the enchantment. [Aahz 12/02/94]  Creatures like Sengir Vampire that get
    credit for damaging a creature get credit when using the Mantle.
    [D'Angelo 01/18/95]
  The creature's controller (not the enchantment's controller) gets to use
    the ability.  If put on an opponent's creature, you don't make decisions
    about it.  [WotC Rules Team 12/15/94]
  Because this card gives the ability to the creature and not to the
    enchantment's controller, having more than one of these on a creature has
    no additional effect (much like giving a creature First Strike twice does
    not have any additional effect).  So two or more Mantles acts just like
    you had one Mantle on the creature. [Aahz 06/12/96]
 @{" Card Information " link FE_WHITE.guide/FARMA}
@endnode
@node FAZEA "Farrel's Zealot"
Farrel's Zealot:
  See the @{"Is Not Blocked" link MTG_GEN_RULINGS.guide/TOP_INBL} entry in the General Rulings for more information.
  As errata, it should say "defending player" instead of "opponent".
    [Duelist Magazine #4, Page 64]
  In a multiplayer game, the target creature does not need to be one of the
    ones controlled by the player you actually attacked.
 @{" Card Information " link FE_WHITE.guide/FARZE}
@endnode
@node FASTB "Fastbond"
Fastbond:
  You can only play land cards when it would otherwise be legal to play a
    land.  This means only on your turn during your main phase.
    [WotC Rules Team 09/15/94]
  Playing a land is not a fast effect, so they must be played out one at a
    time.  Only the restriction to one land per turn was removed.  Lands are
    still played the same way they normally are. [Aahz 12/21/94]
+ You take damage whether you play a land using Fastbond's effect or using
    any other effect like Gaea's Touch or Eureka. [bethmo 09/20/94]
    Also, Storm Cauldron and Thawing Glaciers. [bethmo 06/20/96]
  If you have two in play, you take 2 damage per land played.
    [bethmo 04/11/96]
 @{" Card Information " link 3E_GREEN.guide/FASTB}
@endnode
@node FASTI "Fasting"
Fasting:
  This effect requires a payment of skipping your draw phase.  You cannot
    use multiple effects that require such a payment, so you cannot use two
    Fastings in the same turn. [WotC Rules Team 10/18/95]
  Can only be used during upkeep.  You cannot use it during your draw phase
    to skip the rest of it. [WotC Rules Team 10/18/95]  Can be used at any
    time during upkeep. [Aahz 01/16/96]
  Note that using this spell causes you to skip your draw phase entirely,
    so it cannot be used in combination with draw phase effects like
    Island Sanctuary or Howling Mine. [bethmo 08/10/94]
+ It can be used with Necropotence since this is used before the draw phase
    and Necropotence happens right as the draw phase would start.

Feint:
  See the @{"Fog Effects" link MTG_GEN_RULINGS.guide/TOP_FOGE} entry in the General Rulings for more information.

@node FELDO "Feldon's Cane"
Feldon's Cane:
  As errata to all versions of this card, it should read "{Tap}: Sacrifice
    Feldon's Cane, but remove it from the game instead of putting it into
    the graveyard.  Shuffle your graveyard into your library."
    [Duelist Magazine #10, Page 44] (This REVERSES the prior ruling that the
    Chronicles version was not removed from the game until it resolved.)
  Has been on the Duelists' Convocation restricted list (only 1 per deck)
    for Type I tournaments since 05/02/94.  Was on the restricted list for
    Type II tournaments from 05/02/94 through 04/01/96.
 @{" Card Information " link AQ_ARTIFACT.guide/FELDO}

@node FELLW "Fellwar Stone"
Fellwar Stone:
  Cannot be tapped for mana if opponent has no mana producing lands.
    [bethmo 09/26/94]
  As errata, it should be read as saying "any opponent".
    [Duelist Magazine #4, Page 64]
  The generated mana is of the color the land would produce if tapped for
    mana after applying any effects on that land (such as Phantasmal Terrain
    or Reality Twist). [Aahz 07/11/95]
  It only produces one mana even if the land can produce more than one.
    [D'Angelo 08/02/95]
  Can generate any of the colors the land can produce, even if the land is
    one of the Homelands lands which has a cost in addition to tapping in
    order to generate that mana. [D'Angelo 10/27/95]
  The Dark version of this card can only generate colored mana.  It cannot
    generate colorless mana if an opponent controls a land that generates
    colorless mana. [Duelist Magazine #5, Page 10] (This is a REVERSAL).
    Does not carry any restrictions on the use of the mana that the original
    land might have had. [Aahz 08/01/95]
  The Fourth Edition version of the card can generate colorless mana if
    the opponent has a land that does so. [Duelist Magazine #5, Page 10]
    The generated mana has any restrictions that the land's mana would have
    had.  For example, if they have a Mishra's Workshop you could generate
    colorless mana only usable for casting artifacts. [Aahz 08/01/95]

@node FESTI "Festival"
Festival:
  Since this stops your opponent from declaring an attack, it can be very
    effectively used with Siren's Call to kill all your opponent's creatures.
    [bethmo 08/10/94]
  Targets one opposing player. [Duelist Magazine #4, Page 64]
  Cannot be retargeted since it can only be played during its target's upkeep.

@node FIELD "Field of Dreams"
Field of Dreams:
  If you get to draw more than one card from the library at a time (such as
    with Ancestral Recall), after drawing each card you turn the next one 
    face up.  This means that all cards drawn are seen by all players. 
    [bethmo 06/18/94]  This is in line with all other rulings which say that 
    each draw is really a separate action, but that they are done in sequence.

@node FBALL "Fireball"
Fireball:
  If split for multiple targets, each target can receive only one of the
    splits.  You may not multiply target something. [bethmo]
  If the damage to creatures is redirected to the player (via Jade Monolith
    or other effect), each split of the fireball is a separate damage
    packet for purposes of Circle of Protection. [WotC Rules Team 01/24/94]
  The mana spent for extra targets is not part of the casting cost for
    Spell Blast or other reasons. [Peterson 10/14/94]
  As always "a target" means any creature or player.

Firestorm Phoenix:
  No matter how it goes to the graveyard from play, it returns to its owner's
    hand. [Aahz 06/16/94]
  The Phoenix power works even for Clones or Doppelgangers of a Phoenix.
    The Clone or Doppelganger goes to your hand immediately after going to
    the graveyard. [WotC Rules Team 09/15/94]
  As errata to the card, treat the word "instead" as being "after".  The
    Phoenix does go to the graveyard and trigger effects (such as Soul Net)
    which watch for something going to the graveyard.  It then jumps into the
    player's hand. [Duelist Magazine #2, Page 8]
  Does not return if Disintegrated because Disintegrated creatures do not go
    to the graveyard first. [WotC Rules Team 09/15/94]
  Does return if a Runesword is used on it and it is destroyed.
    [WotC Rules Team 10/12/94]  The Runesword sends creatures to the graveyard
    first.

  See the @{"Fog Effects" link MTG_GEN_RULINGS.guide/TOP_FOGE} entry in the General Rulings for more information.
  The Revised Edition version does stop blocking abilities, but does not undo 
    any that have already occurred.  For example, it will prevent the Thicket
    Basilisk's destroy ability if used before damage dealing, but it will not
    undo the Aisling Leprechaun's ability once it has taken effect. 
    [Aahz 03/17/95]
  Can be played before an attack, or during an attack before damage is
    dealt. [bethmo]
  The Revised Edition version of this card prevents special abilities due
    to blocking in addition to the normal prevention of creatures dealing

  In the Fourth Edition rules, the Forcefield removes all but one point of

Forgotten Lore:
  You can keep paying until you're happy with the card choice or run out of
    green mana.  This isn't particularly clear from the card text, however.
    [Aahz 06/08/95]
  The opponent gets to choose and you get to pay the mana during the
    announcement of the spell, even before interrupts can be used against it.
    If you make the payment they choose another target, still being done
    prior to allowing interrupts.  Note that this card is not yet in the
    graveyard so it cannot be selected. [Duelist Magazine #9, Page 60]
  This is not a triggered effect, but it is a specialized timing effect.
    The opponent gets a chance to use interrupts for mana to pay for this
    effect during the timing bubble.  They can only use such interrupts,
    however, if they actually pay to make the other player choose again.

@node FORK_ "Fork"
Fork:
  As errata, this spell should be read as "Fork becomes a copy of target
    spell, acquiring all characteristics, except color, of that spell.  Once
    the spell is copied, choose its new target(s); the copied spell has the
    same number of targets as the original."  [WotC Rules Team 11/10/95]  Note
    that if you change the color of the Fork from red that the resulting spell
    will not be red.
  You need not (and may not) pay any additional mana or other costs (like
    sacrifices) to use the spell which is Forked. You get control over a
    complete copy. [bethmo 07/18/94]
  If mana or other costs need to be spent at resolution of the spell, the
    caster of Fork would still be responsible for paying that cost.
    [bethmo 07/18/94]
  Extra costs which are in the spell text but not in the cost at the top of
    the card still count as part of the cost and do not need to be paid by
    the player casting Fork.  This includes extra mana in Drain Life, Soul
    Burn, etc. [WotC Rules Team 10/18/95]
  You maintain full control over the copy of the spell regardless of who
    cast the original. [Snark]
  The text "just cast" should read as "being cast".  This is official errata
    to the card.  [Duelist Magazine #3, Page 79]
  For spells like Fireball that allow mana to be used for damage or for
    additional targets, the controller of the copy must use the same
    number of targets the original spell did. [Duelist Magazine #3, Page 22]
  Forking a spell with an X in the cost like Detonate requires you to use
    the same X value.  In the case of Detonate, you must find an artifact
    with exactly the cost X. [WotC Rules Team 09/30/94]
  Once a Fork is completed, the new copy is placed on top of the current
    stack.  The copy will resolve before the original. [bethmo 05/03/94]
    The copy isn't put onto the stack until after the original is either
    countered or becomes successfully cast.
  The Fork card itself acts as the copy once Fork resolves.  The Fork becomes
    the spell and will not go to the graveyard until the copy resolves.
  If something happens to the spell card being copied, the Fork will act
    completely as that card.  For example,  Recall removes itself from the
    game, so a Fork of Recall will remove the Fork card. [Aahz 02/17/95]
  Note that the copy created by the Fork is itself never actually cast and
    so it cannot be the target of interrupts.  It is just the result of the
    casting of Fork. [Aahz 12/14/94]
  When Forking Shahrazad and you lose both sub-games, you lose half of your
    life, and then half of what is left. [WotC Rules Team]
  Will copy changes made by interrupts to the spell prior to the use of Fork,
    such as Sleight of Mind or Magical Hack. [WotC Rules Team 09/15/94]
  Timing can get complicated if other interrupts are used.
    See the @{"Spell and Effect Timing" link MTG_GEN_RULINGS.guide/TIMING} section in the General Rulings for more
    information.
  Has been on the Duelists' Convocation restricted list (only one allowed in
    a deck) for tournaments since 04/19/95.

@node FRANK "Frankenstein's Monster"
Frankenstein's Monster:
  As errata, it should read "Choose X target creatures in your graveyard.
    When Frankenstein's Monster comes into play, remove those cards from the
    game or bury Frankenstein's Monster." [Duelist Magazine #10, Page 43]
  You declare X when the spell is cast and chose X creatures from the
    graveyard.  If on resolution any of the targets are not there, the Monster
    is buried.  If only some of the targets are there, you do not have to
    remove them. [Duelist Magazine #10, Page 43]  In other words, it is an
    all or nothing effect and doesn't do anything partially.
  X can be any number and it does not have to match the total contents of
    your graveyard. [bethmo 09/09/94]

@node FREYW "Freyalise's Winds"
Freyalise's Winds:
  The effect is inherent in the wind counters and not the enchantment, so
    if the enchantment leaves play the wind counters will continue to work
    until they are removed during the next untap. [WotC Rules Team 02/06/96]
    (This REVERSES the preliminary ruling made in January)
  Does not remove counters from Cyclone.  This is because the enchantment does
    not seek out wind counters.  The wind counters from the enchantment
    remove themselves at the proper time. [WotC Rules Team 02/06/96]

Frozen Shade:
  As errata, the Limited, Unlimited and Revised edition versions should have

  The artist's name, Shuler, was misspelled on the Limited/Unlimied Edition
    versions of this card.

@node FUNGU "Fungusaur"
Fungusaur:
  Regeneration prevents death, so even if it would have died, it took
    damage and lived so it gets its +1/+1. [bethmo]
  The Limited and Unlimited versions of this card gain +1/+1 every time it
    is damaged and not killed.  This can occur more than once in a turn. 
    The Revised and Fourth Edition cards only gain one counter at the end of 
    any turn in which it is damaged.
