Rulings
- 2006-02-01: You can play the card this turn, not just during the resolution of the ability.
- 2008-10-01: This has the supertype world. When a world permanent enters, any world permanents that were already on the battlefield are put into their owners' graveyards. This is a state-based action called the "world rule." The new world permanent stays on the battlefield. If two world permanents enter at the same time, they're both put into their owners' graveyards.
