Official rulings

Three official rulings apply to New Perspectives, newest first.

  • The card you wish to cycle counts when determining whether you have seven or more cards in hand.

  • Certain older cards have variants of cycling, such as basic landcycling or Wizardcycling. New Perspectives gives these abilities an alternate activation cost as well.
