Widespread Ruin (Red)

You may play this normally from hand or arsenal, even if you don’t control Runechants equal to or greater than its base cost.

You may only play this from your banished zone (using the Rune Gate) if you meet the condition for Rune Gate (control Runechants equal to or greater than its base cost). You may still play this from your banished zone if another effect allows you to play it.

This only triggers if it is attacking on the combat chain when the combat chain closes. It does not trigger if it is defending on the combat chain, or if it has not resolved and become an attacking card (e.g. targeting a permanent with spectra).

When you play this card with Rune Gate, you still have to pay additional costs and increases to the resource cost (e.g. Frostbite).

You may not play this from your banished zone if it is face-down.

Taking any damage, losing life from effects, and paying life costs to activate Flail of Agony or to pay for Vynnset’s triggered ability, are all considered having lost life this turn.

If you have lost life, and then gained that much (or more) life in the same turn, you are still considered to have lost life this turn.

Each player is considered to have banished their own card from their deck. You are not considered to have banished cards other than the card from your own deck.
