Notes and Rules Information for Culling Scales:
  • You choose the target. If there's more than one nonland permanent tied for lowest mana value, you choose which one to target. (2004-12-01)
  • If the targeted permanent doesn't have the lowest mana value when the ability resolves, the ability doesn't resolve and the permanent isn't destroyed. (2004-12-01)
  • Most tokens have a mana value of 0. A token that's a copy of another permanent or card has a mana value equal to that permanent or card's mana value. (2004-12-01)
  • If the lowest mana value is 3, Culling Scales can destroy itself. (2004-12-01)
