Old School Specific Rules
Mana burn still happens. When a step or phase ends, any unused mana left in a player’s mana pool empties. That
player loses 1 life for each one mana lost this way. This is called “mana burn.” Mana burn is loss of life, not
damage, so it can’t be prevented or altered by effects that affect damage. This turn-based action doesn’t use
the stack.
Card Errata
Chaos Orb — (2) — Artifact
1, Tap: Choose a nontoken permanent on the battlefield. If Chaos Orb is on the battlefield, flip Chaos Orb onto
the battlefield from a height of at least one foot. If Chaos Orb turns over completely at least 360 degrees
during the flip, and lands resting on the chosen permanent, destroy that permanent. Then destroy Chaos Orb.
Falling Star — (2)(R) — Sorcery
Choose any number of non-overlapping creatures on the battlefield. Flip Falling Star from a height of at least
one foot. If Falling Star turns over completely at least 360 degrees during the flip, it deals 3 damage to each
chosen creature it lands resting on. Any creatures damaged by Falling Star that are not destroyed become tapped.
