Official rulings

Four official rulings apply to Winter, Cynical Opportunist, newest first.

  • Multiple finality counters on a single permanent are redundant.
  • Finality counters aren't keyword counters, and a finality counter doesn't give any abilities to the permanent it's on. If that permanent loses its abilities and then would go to a graveyard, it will still be exiled instead.
  • If a permanent with a finality counter on it would be put into a graveyard from the battlefield, exile it instead.
  • Finality counters don't stop permanents from going to zones other than the graveyard from the battlefield. For example, if a permanent with a finality counter on it would be put into its owner's hand from the battlefield, it does so normally.
