Notes and Rules Information for Fateful Showdown:
- The number of cards in your hand is counted only as Fateful Showdown resolves. Fateful Showdown is on the stack at this time, so it's not counted. (2016-09-20)
- If Fateful Showdown's target becomes an illegal target, you won't discard your hand or draw any cards. (2016-09-20)
- There are many important moments in the story, but the most crucial—called “story spotlights”—are shown on cards. These cards have the Planeswalker symbol in their text box; this symbol has no effect on gameplay. You can read more about these events in the official Magic fiction at www.mtgstory.com. (2018-01-19)
