wotc4 Oct 2004
Changing 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.
wotc4 Oct 2004
You choose the words to change on resolution.
wotc4 Oct 2004
It can’t change a word to the same word. It must be a different word.
wotc4 Oct 2004
Can target a card with no appropriate words on it, or even one with no words at all.
wotc4 Oct 2004
It can be used to change a land’s type from one basic land type to another. For example, Forest can be changed to Island so it produces blue mana. It doesn’t change the name of any permanent.
wotc4 Oct 2004
It only changes what is printed on the card (or set on a token when it was created or set by a copy effect). It will not change any effects that are on the permanent.
