Abbot of the Sacred Meeple

For many playtest cards, you’ll need to make a generous assumption that basic game rules would be updated to allow them to work. The Mystery Booster 2 Playtest Card Notes section (reproduced here in individual Gatherer rulings) provides guidance for fitting these cards into the existing rules structure.

If the space two spaces higher than this creature’s power on the Monk Track is already occupied (or, in rare cases, if its power is so high that there is no such space), this creature can occupy any lower-valued space on the Monk Track.

Playtest cards use a modified version of game symbols, such as {T} and {W}. These modified symbols should be treated as the standard symbols during play.

Effects that replace sheep payments with other resources (such as Lapidary) can be applied to Abbot of the Sacred Meeple’s last ability.

Playtest cards aren’t legal for play in any tournament format other than Mystery Booster Limited formats. On the other hand, we expect they will spice up a wide variety of non-tournament games (as long as everyone’s on the same page about using them!).
