Aminatou's Final Ruling states I get my stuff back when one leaves the game. What does this mean?

Asked by BMHKain 5 years ago



Finally found a use for Aminatou, the Fateshifter's Ultimate. But I just want to be sure it's not required for an opponent to simply concede. Just to get my purpose across, I'm making this a cEDH deck focusing on Stax, Hatebears, & Lockdown. (It turns out Cruel Control requires Cruel Ultimatum to use. This is now irrelevant.))

I hope this isn't too much of a wall of text for all, I just wanted some guidance. Thanks in advance. :)

It would be nice to cite what you have the question about. Much like linking cards if the question is about them directly, pasting rulings gives people the information they need to help you.

"In a multiplayer game, if a player leaves the game, all cards that player owns leave as well. The effect of Aminatou’s third ability stops applying to all permanents that player controlled and control of them reverts to their previous controller."

"Leave the game" is any form in which a player is no longer playing the game. This includes conceding and losing. This means if a player loses or scoops after you ult Aminatou, the Fateshifter they player that they received the permanents from gets them back and all cards they own leave the game with them.

I see. Shame after all this, I'll have to take your advice to link some things outside of this page. Dunno how to do this, but I'll be forced to do it myself if that's what it takes. Thanks, BTW, sir. To the lower links I go...

Was your question answered or do you still have a question? What was the question?

Not necessarily link, just let us see them. Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V works since you obviously had looked up the rulings already. It is just that the less work you make people do, the more likely you are to get a response. Sometimes I just can't be arsed to google a card's rulings and with magiccards.info now defunct and Scryfall not having rulings (at least as far as I have found so far) I have to use gatherer for rulings and that is the worst magic card search engine by far. So I figure other people may also have a similar level of "I'm pretty sure I know the answer but don't know the exact wording of what they are asking about so meh." It just helps you get answers quicker.

@Rhadamanthus: It's answered at post one. I'll handle it.

@Gidgetimer: Check.

As a note, Gidgetimer, Scryfall does actually have rulings. You have to scroll lower on the page, but they're there.

Oh hey, it is under the external links. Weird. I would think that they would keep the card info all together and then put the external links after it. Ah well, thanks.

No problem. I only just found it today after sending in a feedback question about it, since I hadn't seen them myself either.
