Rulings

Official rulings from Wizards of the Coast (10).

• 2024-09-20Votes are cast in turn order, and each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.
• 2024-09-20Each player must vote for one of the available options. They can't abstain.

• 2016-08-23You must vote for one of the available options. You can't abstain.
• 2016-08-23If a creature with an enters-the-battlefield council's dilemma ability leaves the battlefield before that ability resolves, players can still vote for any option that would put +1/+1 counters on that creature, even though—or perhaps especially because—those votes won't generate an effect.
• 2016-08-23Unlike the will of the council cards from the original Conspiracy set, where a majority of votes determined what happened, each vote made for a council's dilemma card adds to the ultimate effect.
• 2016-08-23Players can't do anything between voting and finishing the resolution of the spell or ability that included the vote.
• 2016-08-23No player votes until the spell or ability resolves. Any responses to that spell or ability must be made without knowing the outcome of the vote.
• 2016-08-23The effects of each council's dilemma ability happen in the stated order. First the vote occurs, then the first effect, and finally the second effect.
• 2016-08-23Because the votes are made in turn order, each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.
