Rulings
Official rulings from Wizards of the Coast (6).
- 2004-10-04Chaos Orb can only affect permanents. Cards that are in the game but not on the battlefield, such as those in the Library and Graveyard, can't be affected.
- 2004-10-04You can arrange your cards any time before the Orb is put onto the battlefield, but not after. In general, you should not stack cards or put them in places where your opponent can't read the names of all of them or count them. This is recommended good gaming practice.
- 2004-10-04It must flip 360 degrees (that's what "flip" means). And this flip must be in the air and not in your hand.
- 2004-10-04This is a not a targeted ability.
- 2004-10-04If you have sleeves on cards, they count as the cards.
- 2004-10-04You can't interfere in any physical way with activating this ability.
