Official rulings

The 8 most recent official rulings for Processor Assault, newest first.

  • Devoid works in all zones, not just on the battlefield.
  • If a replacement effect will cause cards that would be put into a graveyard from anywhere to be exiled instead (such as the one created by Anafenza, the Foremost), you can still put an exiled card into its opponent’s graveyard. The card becomes a new object and remains in exile. In this situation, you can’t use a single exiled card if required to put more than one exiled card into the graveyard. Conversely, you could use the same card in this situation if two separate spells or abilities each required you to put a single exiled card into its owner’s graveyard.
  • Cards with devoid use frames that are variations of the transparent frame traditionally used for Eldrazi. The top part of the card features some color over a background based on the texture of the hedrons that once imprisoned the Eldrazi. This coloration is intended to aid deckbuilding and game play.
  • You must put exactly one card an opponent owns from exile into that player’s graveyard to cast Processor Assault. You can’t cast it without doing so, and you can’t put multiple exiled cards into their owners’ graveyards this way.
  • If a spell or ability requires that you put more than one exiled card into the graveyard, you may choose cards owned by different opponents. Each card chosen will be put into its owner’s graveyard.
  • You can’t look at face-down cards in exile unless an effect allows you to.
  • Players can respond to Processor Assault only after it’s been cast and all of its costs have been paid. No one can try to remove the card from exile to stop you from casting the spell.
  • A card with devoid is just colorless. It’s not colorless and the colors of mana in its mana cost.
