714.1.
One card (Karn Liberated) restarts the game. A game that is restarted immediately ends. No
players in that game win, lose, or draw that game. All players in that game when it ended then start
a new game following the procedures set forth in rule 103, ?Starting the Game,? with the following
exception:
714.1a
The starting player in the new game is the player who controlled the spell or ability that
restarted the game.
714.2.
All Magic cards involved in the game that was restarted when it ended, including phased-out
permanents and nontraditional Magic cards, are involved in the new game, even if those cards were
not originally involved in the restarted game. Ownership of cards in the new game doesn‘t change,
regardless of their location when the new game begins.
Example: A player casts Living Wish, bringing a creature card into the game from outside
the game. Then that game is restarted. The creature card will be part of that player?s library
when the new game begins.
714.3.
Because each player draws seven cards when the new game begins, any player with fewer than
seven cards in his or her library will lose the game when state-based actions are checked during the
upkeep step of the first turn, regardless of any mulligans that player takes. (See rule 704, ?State-
Based Actions.?)
714.4.
The effect that restarts the game finishes resolving just before the first turn‘s untap step. If the
spell or ability that generated that effect has additional instructions, those instructions are followed
at this time. No player has priority, and any triggered abilities that trigger as a result will go on the
stack the next time a player receives priority, usually during the first turn‘s upkeep step.
714.5.
Effects may exempt certain cards from the procedure that restarts the game. These cards are not
in their owner‘s deck as the new game begins.
714.5a
In a Commander game, a commander that has been exempted from the procedure that
restarts the game won‘t begin the new game in the command zone. However, it remains that
deck‘s commander for the new game. See rule 903, ?Commander.?
714.6.
If a Magic subgame (see rule 715) is restarted, the main game is unaffected. Main-game effects
that refer to the winner or loser of the subgame now refer to the winner or loser of the restarted
subgame.
714.7.
If a multiplayer game using the limited range of influence option (see rule 801) is restarted, all
players in the game are involved, regardless of the range of influence of the player who controls the
ability that restarted the game.
