Amplify

From MTG Salvation Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Amplify is a keyword ability on creatures that allows the player to reveal creature cards in his or her hand that share a creature type with the creature. The creature comes into play with a number of +1/+1 counters for each such card revealed. Some creatures with amplify have additional abilities tied to the number of +1/+1 counters on them (see Kilnmouth Dragon).

All tournament-legal creatures with Amplify were printed in Legions.

From the Comprehensive Rules
  • 502.27. Amplify
    • 502.27a Amplify is a static ability. “Amplify N” means “As this object comes into play, reveal any number of cards from your hand that share a creature type with it. This permanent comes into play with N +1/+1 counters on it for each card revealed this way. You can’t reveal this card or any other cards that are coming into play at the same time as this card.”
    • 502.27b If a creature has multiple instances of amplify, each one works separately.

[edit] Rulings

  • The player who will control the creature is the one who reveals the cards.
  • Each revealed card must share a creature type with the amplify card. The reminder text reminds you what those types are.
  • Playing the Onslaught card Artificial Evolution on an amplify spell on the stack can change what types need to be revealed. The card Conspiracy can also change what types need to be revealed.
  • If multiple creatures with amplify are going to come into play under your control at the same time, you're allowed to reveal the same cards for each of them.
  • If you play Clone and choose for it to copy a creature with amplify, you get to reveal cards and get +1/+1 counters.
