Asking the judge
Asked by DarkMagician 9 years ago
If I'm playing Runed Halo but can't remember the name of the card I want protection from can the judge give me the card name if I provide an accurate description of the card? For example if I want to name Celestial Colonnade but can't remember the name and I describe it as the U/W manland with vigilance.

Yes, if you can uniquely identify the card.
3.6 Card InterpretationThe official text of any card is the Oracle text corresponding to the name of the card. Players have the right to request access to the official wording of a card only if they can uniquely identify that card, although the card does not necessarily have to be identified by name. That request will be honored if logistically possible. Identifying a double-faced or flip card by either name on it is acceptable, as long as the ability that requires the name does not refer to an object on the battlefield.
