Rulings

- 2004-10-04You can’t Sleight proper nouns (i.e. card names). This means that you can’t affect a “Black Vise”.
- 2004-10-04Can target a card with no color words on it.
- 2004-10-04Can’t change a color word to the same color word. It must be a different word.

- 2004-10-04You choose the words to change on resolution.
- 2004-10-04Changing the text of a spell will not allow you to change the targets of the spell because the targets were chosen when the spell was cast. The text change will (probably) cause it to be countered since the targets will be illegal.
- 2004-10-04If you change the text of a spell which is to become a permanent, the permanent will retain the text change until the effect wears off.
