@node GAEAA "Gaea's Avenger"
Gaea's Avenger:
  You choose one opposing player on casting and it only affects that one
    player.  This target is not changed even if this card changes controllers.
    It becomes useless but stays in play if the target player leaves play.
    [Duelist Magazine #4, Page 64]

@node GAEAL "Gaea's Liege"
Gaea's Liege:
  If you have 5 Forests and your opponent has 10 Forests and the Liege
    takes 7 damage during an attack, that once the attack is over, the
    Liege is no longer attacking and will be killed. [bethmo]
  The "change to forest" effect cannot be prevented by Consecrate Land or
    removed by Tranquility because it is not an enchantment. [Snark]
  This can change any land (not just basic lands) into a Forest. [bethmo]
  A changed land is considered to be the new land type in all ways.  This
    is not just a change of name.  It changes the color of mana produced
    too. [Page 60]
  Will not add or remove Snow-Covered nature from a land.
    [Duelist Magazine #6, Page 132]
  The Limited and Unlimited Edition versions of this card define conditions
    for "attacking" and "defending" when it should say "attacking" and
    "not-attacking". [Duelist Magazine #3, Page 79]
 @{" Card Information " link 4E_GREEN.guide/GAEAS}
@endnode
@node GAEAT "Gaea's Touch"
Gaea's Touch:
  Cannot put out multilands which generate green mana because they are not
    _basic_ Forests.  They do count as part Forest once they enter play but
    this spell applies to cards in your hand.  [Aahz 08/09/94]
  You have to say when you put the land out that it is the one you get because
    of Gaea's Touch. [Duelist Magazine #6, Page 131]  Thus, you cannot put out
    a Forest, play Gaea's Touch, then play another land claiming that the
    first one was under Gaea's Touch.
  Can get a Snow-Covered Forest. [Duelist Magazine #6, Page 132]

@node GANGR "Gangrenous Zombies"
Gangrenous Zombies:
  Whether it does 1 or 2 damage is set on announcement depending on whether
    you have any Snow-Covered Swamps at that time and it is not changed if
    you gain or lose such Swamps afterwards. [WotC Rules Team 09/22/95]

@node GASEO "Gaseous Form"
Gaseous Form:
  The Legends version reduced damage dealt to the creature in combat to zero.
    The Fourth Edition version acts like a single creature Fog effect.
    [Duelist Magazine #5, Page 10]  See the @{"Fog Effects" link MTG_GEN_RULINGS.guide/TOP_FOGE} entry in the
    General Rulings.

@endnode
@node GAUMI "Gauntlet of Might"
Gauntlet of Might:
  Multilands which have Mountain as one of their types produce an extra red
    mana when tapped for either color. [bethmo]
  Mountains do not produce two mana when Conversion is in play because all
    the Mountains are now Plains instead. [Snark]
  If a Mountain is tapped using Twiddle or Icy Manipulator while the
    Gauntlet is in play, the owner of the Mountain gets one red mana added
    to their pool.  The Gauntlet says that if the land gets tapped, an
    additional red mana gets generated. [bethmo]
  Was on the Duelists' Convocation restricted list (only 1 per deck)
    for tournaments from 01/25/94 to 05/01/94.  It was removed once
    Antiquities and Revised Edition made it easier to destroy artifacts.
 @{" Card Information " link UL_ARTIFACT.guide/GAUNT}
@endnode
@node GAUCH "Gauntlets of Chaos"
Gauntlets of Chaos:
  Creatures with Artifact Ward on them may be selected, but this will cause
    the effect to fail and nothing will change hands. [Aahz 07/13/94]
  For the Legends version of this card.  Only the one creature/land/artifact
    of your opponent's is selected when you declare this effect.  On
    resolution of the spell, you first take control of that target, then
    select a target from your cards.  If you had no other cards to swap, then
    you must give back the one you took.  If the first target became invalid
    then the effect fizzles and no swap is made. [Duelist Magazine #2, Page 8]
  The Chronicles version of this card targets both cards and swaps them
    during resolution. [Bethmo 02/28/96]  If one of the cards in a swap is
    not legal on resolution, then that swap fails. [Aahz 03/02/96]
 @{" Card Information " link LG_ARTIFACT.guide/GAUNT}

@node GENER "General Jarkeld"
General Jarkeld:
  If a creature is removed from being a blocker of a specific creature, the
    effects that would have happened because it was declared as a blocker
    may or may not happen depending on the creature's blocking effect.
    [WotC Rules Team 09/22/95]  If the card text said that creatures
    "assigned to block" or "blocks" then the effect is not removed by
    removing the blocker.  If the card text said "blocking", then the effect
    probably does not happen.  See individual cards for rulings.
  If a creature is added as a blocker to a specific creature, the blocking
    effect of that creature may or may not happen depending on the creature's
    blocking effect. [WotC Rules Team 09/22/95]  If the card text said that
    creatures "blocking" then the effect happens.  If the card text said
    "assigned to block" or "blocks", then the effect probably does not happen.
    See individual cards for rulings.
  Can target any two attacking creatures but only works if both of them have
    at least one blocker when it resolves and when you are done choosing new
    blockers. [Duelist Magazine #7, Page 99]
 @{" Card Information " link IA_WHITE.guide/GENER}
@endnode
@node GHAZB "Ghazban Ogre"
Ghazban Ogre:
  As errata to the Arabian Nights version of the card, add the text "If you
    are tied for highest life total, Ghazban Ogre does not change controller.
    If other players are tied for highest life total and you are not, choose
    randomly which player gets control of Ghazban Ogre."
    [Duelist Magazine #4, Page 136]
  It is up to the current controller as to when during upkeep that the Ogre
    looks for a new master.  This can be before or after any other upkeep
    steps are resolved or spells used. [bethmo]
  The Ogre's changing of controllers is a new effect each upkeep so it will
    take precedence over any other control effects.  This means that using
    Control Magic on a Ghazban Ogre won't guarantee that you keep it.
    [Duelist Magazine #7, Page 98] (This is a REVERSAL)
 @{" Card Information " link AN_GREEN.guide/GHAZB}
@endnode
@node GHFLA "Ghostly Flame"
Ghostly Flame:
  Does not make red and black spells and permanents colorless.  They still
    have color.  A red spell cannot target a creature with Protection from Red
    due to this.  The spells just act like colorless sources when dealing
    damage. [D'Angelo 06/09/95]
  If the source has more than one color but at least one is red or black,
    then the damage is colorless and all the other colors are forgotten.
    [D'Angelo 06/21/95]
  It does not change the color of the source, so that things that trigger on
    a red spell doing damage (such as Justice) will still trigger.
    [bethmo 04/18/96]  The damage itself thinks it came from a colorless
    source, however.

@node GIALB "Giant Albatross"
Giant Albatross:
+ The ability is a triggered effect and can only be activated once just after
    this card goes to the graveyard. [Duelist Magazine #9, Page 37]  The
    activation cannot include more than one payment of the cost.
  The ability works no matter how it goes to the graveyard.  It seeks out all
    creatures that damaged it during the turn and buries them. [Aahz 10/25/95]
  The ability works even if the damage is redirected to the Albatross.
    [D'Angelo 01/06/96]
 @{" Card Information " link HL_BLUE.guide/GIALB}
@endnode
@node GISHA "Giant Shark"
Giant Shark:
  As errata, the card should say "If Giant Shark is assigned to block or a
    blocker is assigned that has taken damage this turn, ..."
    [WotC Rules Team 10/18/95]
  The result of the errata is that if a creature enters a blocking situation
    with the Giant Shark due to being part of a banded group of attackers or
    by an effect such as General Jarkeld, that the Shark will not get the
    bonus if that creature is damaged.  The bonus happens when the Shark is
    assigned to a specific creature which is damaged and the bonus is not
    removed if that creature is removed from the blocking situation by any
    means. [WotC Rules Team 10/18/95]
  Only gains its bonus if the blocking creature was damaged before blocking
    was declared.  Damaging the creature later will not give the Shark the
    bonus. [Duelist Magazine #3, Page 7]
  Only gets the bonus once, regardless of the number of blockers or their
    condition. [Aahz 10/21/94]
  As errata, it should say "defending player" instead of "opponent".
    [Duelist Magazine #4, Page 64]

@node GISLU "Giant Slug"
Giant Slug:
  The choice of landwalk ability is made during upkeep and not at the time
    the mana is spent.  [Duelist Magazine #2, Page 8]
  If the Slug changes controllers after the mana is spent, the player who
    activates this ability selects a landwalk during their next upkeep even
    if they don't control it at the time. [Aahz 06/13/96]

@node GITRA "Giant Trap Door Spider"
Giant Trap Door Spider:
  Yes, it does remove itself from the game when used. [D'Angelo 08/02/95]
  If removed from play before his effect resolves, the target will still be
    removed from the game. [D'Angelo 06/21/95]

@node GITUR "Giant Turtle"
Giant Turtle:
  It only cares if it attacked on _your_ last turn, and not your opponent's.
    This makes a difference if you take control of the Turtle during your
    opponent's turn after it attacks.  You can use it on your turn because
    it began your turn in play and because you did not attack with it last
    turn. [bethmo 06/15/94]

@node GIFTO "Gift of the Woods"
Gift of the Woods:
+ The ability kicks in at the end of declaration of blocking if the creature
    has any blockers at that time.  How the blocker blocked the creature does
    not matter. [bethmo 06/28/96]
 @{" Card Information " link AI_GREEN.guide/GIFTO}

@node GLACI "Glacial Chasm"
Glacial Chasm:
  If there are no lands in play when this enters play, you have to sacrifice
    this card. [WotC Rules Team 06/15/95]
  It requires a land to be sacrificed as a triggered effect just after it
    enters play.  It is not paid on announcement. [D'Angelo 10/27/95]
  Consecrate Land will not prevent it from being buried due to not paying
    the upkeep. [WotC Rules Team 07/24/95]  (See errata to @{Consecrate Land" link MTG_CARD_C.guide/CONSE})
  If put into play when an Ankh of Mishra is in play, it will prevent the
    damage since the Ankh's effect triggers just after the land enters play.
    [D'Angelo 10/12/95]

@node GLASS "Glasses of Urza"
Glasses of Urza:
  As errata to the Limited, Unlimited, and Revised versions of this card, it
    should read "target player" instead of "opponent".  This means you can
    use it on yourself.  In multiplayer games this allows you to choose a
    different player each time it is used. [Duelist Magazine #4, Page 64]
    The Fourth Edition version of this card says this.
 @{" Card Information " link 4E_ARTIFACT.guide/GLASS}
@endnode
@node GLOOM "Gloom"
Gloom:
  There is effectively errata against Gloom to change the word "use" to
    "activate" due to the rulings below.  Although no such errata has been
    formally issued, the rulings are unchanging at the moment and they make
    more sense if this errata is applied.
  The additional 3 mana cost is colorless. [bethmo]
+ The additional mana is paid at the same time the effect is announced.
    [bethmo 06/20/96]
  The extra mana is not considered part of the casting cost.  A Spell Blast
    would still only require the original casting cost as X in order to
    counter the spell. [Aahz 09/02/94]
  The extra mana is not considered part of the activation cost.  It is a
    separate cost.  [Aahz 09/02/94]  If an artifact enchantment (Copy Artifact)
    with an activation cost were Purelaced, Power Artifact could be used to
    reduce the base cost, but not the Gloom cost. [Aahz 12/13/94]
+ The cost applies to each activation.  Since you can no longer multiply pump
    effects, it applies to teach an every use.  For example, if Holy Armor
    were used 5 times, you'd have to pay Gloom 5 times. [D'Angelo 06/28/96]
    (REVERSAL due to WotC Rules Team 06/27/96)
  Farmstead's cost is not an activation cost and so it is not affected by
    the Revised Gloom.
  The Limited and Unlimited versions of this card only affected the casting
    of white spells and the use of Circles of Protection.  The Revised
    and Fourth Edition cards affect any white spells and the use of white
    enchantments with activation costs.  Players with Holy Armor and such
    are in for a surprise.  Note that this does not include upkeep costs,
    and that the Revised and Fourth Edition cards will not affect Circles
    which are xxxxlaced to another color.

  Being destroyed at "end of combat" happens after damage resolution for

  In multiplayer games you can choose a different opposing player to call the

Goblin Shrine:
  Multilands which are part Mountain are not Basic Mountains.  [Aahz 08/10/94]
  Works even if placed on one of your opponent's Mountains.
    [D'Angelo 01/18/95]
  Works if placed on a Snow-Covered Mountain. [Duelist Magazine #6, Page 132]

Goblin Ski Patrol:
  See the @{"Activation Cost" link MTG_GEN_RULINGS.guide/TOP_ACTI} entry in the General Rulings for more information
    on what "Use this...only once" means.
  If you activate the ability, then stick this card into a Tawnos's Coffin or
    Oubliette before the end of the turn, the Flying and +2/+0 will stay
    since it does not have a duration. [bethmo 02/28/96]
  The ability can only be used once during the card's existance, however,
    since it says "use only once" and not once each turn. [bethmo 02/28/96]

@node GOSNO "Goblin Snowman"
Goblin Snowman:
  Since they cannot be assigned damage, if it is the only creature blocking
    a trampling creature, all the damage goes through to the defender.
    [Aahz 06/09/95]  This is similar to a built in Fog effect, so see the
    @{"Fog Effects" link MTG_GEN_RULINGS.guide/TOP_FOGE} entry in the General Rulings for more information.

@node GOWDR "Goblin War Drums"
Goblin War Drums:
  Multiple War Drums are not cumulative.  They are just redundant.
    [Aahz 12/032/94]
  This card can be simply interpreted as saying that a creature cannot be
    blocked by exactly one blocker.
  If a banded group is used, one member of the band must be blocked by at
    least 2 creatures at once.  You do not need 2 creatures for each member
    of the band and you cannot use 1 creature each on 2 different members of
    a band. [WotC Rules Team 12/15/94]
  As errata, it should say "defending player" instead of "opponent".

@node GOWAR "Goblin Warrens"
Goblin Warrens:
  Yes, the token Goblins can be fed back to the Warrens to generate new
    Goblins.  They are Goblin creatures in every way.
    [Duelist Magazine #4, Page 7]  Basically, you are paying R2
    for each Goblin. But, this removes enchantments from existing Goblins
    and now all 3 of the new ones entered play this turn and cannot be used
    until next turn.

@node GOLGO "Golgothian Sylex"
Golgothian Sylex:
  Only affects cards with the Antiquities anvil symbol on them.  It does
    not affect cards that came from the Antiquities expansion into the main
    set. [bethmo 06/04/94]
  It does affect cards from Chronicles with the anvil symbol.
    [Duelist Magazine #7, Page 98]  This does not include the Wall of Shadows
    from Chronicles with an anvil symbol on it.  That card has errata to
    replace that symbol with a Legends symbol. [Duelist Magazine #7, Page 98]
  Creatures may regenerate from being destroyed this way. [Aahz]
  Guardian Beast will prevent Antiquities artifacts from being destroyed,
    but will not stop the Sylex from destroying itself.
  As errata, read the word "discarded" as meaning "destroyed". [PPG Page 113]

  The loss of life is a payment. [Aahz 02/21/95]

@node GUAAN "Guardian Angel"
Guardian Angel:
  Unlike most damage prevention effects, this spell targets the creature or
    player in addition to targeting the damage.  This means it cannot be used
    on a creature with Protection from White.  Other damage prevention effects
    normally only target the damage. [Aahz 01/17/95]

@node GUABE "Guardian Beast"
Guardian Beast:
  As errata, Guardian Beast cannot prevent an effect from destroying an
    artifact if the artifact itself is the source of the effect.
    [Duelist Magazine #7, Page 99]
  Not paying upkeep costs on an artifact is considered to have the artifact as
    the source of the destroy effect regardless of the source of the upkeep
    effect.  In other words, if an outside source imposes an upkeep cost on
    an artifact, the artifact is still considered to be destroying itself.
    [Duelist Magazine #7, Page 99]  Cumulative upkeep is just a kind of
    upkeep.
  Will not prevent cards which say "destroy at end of turn" (such as the
    Rocket Launcher) from being destroyed. [WotC Rules Team 07/24/95]
    (This is a REVERSAL due to the errata)
  The terms "discarded" or "discard from play" were used in Arabian Nights,
    Antiquities and the Limited and Unlimited Editions to mean "destroyed"
    and so can be prevented. [WotC Rules Team 01/29/94]
  The term "placed in the graveyard" was used in Antiquities to mean
    "sacrifice", such effects cannot be prevented by the Beast. [Aahz]
  Does prevent enchantment spells from even targeting one of your artifacts.
    [Duelist Magazine #7, Page 99]
  Does not prevent removal from the game as from Dust to Dust.
    [WotC Rules Team 10/12/94]
  Does not prevent you from giving back artifacts that were stolen by
    Aladdin or Steal Artifact when Aladdin or Steal Artifact are removed.
    [bethmo]
  Does not protect artifact creatures. [Card Text]  This includes Animated
    artifacts.  Note that it also prevents Animate Artifact from being cast
    on a protected artifact.  [bethmo]
  Does not prevent non-targeted enchantment effects like Titania's Song, or
    targeted effects which are not enchantments like Xenic Poltergeist.
    These are particularly useful since they make the artifact into a creature
    which the Beast will not protect. [Duelist Magazine #2, Page 14]
