Playing a Traitor

Loyal to no one. Play both sides until only you are left on the throne.

How you win: Be the last player standing. You must outlast everyone, other Traitors included, so the Assassins have to fall before the Leader does.

Rulings

  • All The Ferryman does when it resolves is set up a delayed triggered ability. If the targeted permanent isn’t put into a graveyard this turn, that ability never triggers. If the targeted permanent is put into a graveyard this turn, that ability triggers and resolves like any other triggered ability.
  • The permanent card that will be returned to the battlefield isn’t chosen until the delayed triggered ability resolves. The player who chooses is the player who controlled The Ferryman.
  • The permanent that’s returned to the battlefield can’t be the same one that was put into the graveyard (assuming it’s still in the graveyard when the delayed triggered ability resolves).
