You must be able to target a creature with flying to cast Aerial Predation.

If the creature with flying is an illegal target when Aerial Predation tries to resolve, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won’t gain 2 life.

Once a creature becomes monstrous, it can’t become monstrous again. If the creature is already monstrous when the monstrosity ability resolves, nothing happens.
2013-09-15
Monstrous isn’t an ability that a creature has. It’s just something true about that creature. If the creature stops being a creature or loses its abilities, it will continue to be monstrous.
2013-09-15
An ability that triggers when a creature becomes monstrous won’t trigger if that creature isn’t on the battlefield when its monstrosity ability resolves.

If you cast a commander from your hand, the additional cost based on the number of times you’ve cast it from your command zone (sometimes referred to as the “commander tax”) doesn’t apply. Additionally, that casting won’t add to the tax if you later cast the commander from the command zone.
2015-11-04
If your commander isn’t in the command zone (or you’re not playing Commander) as the last ability resolves, nothing happens.
2016-11-08
If you have two commanders with the partner ability in the command zone, Command Beacon’s effect puts one of your choice into your hand, not both.

Diminish overwrites all previous effects that set the target creature’s power and toughness to specific values. Other effects that set its power or toughness to specific values that start to apply after Diminish resolves will overwrite this effect.
2017-11-17
Effects that modify the target creature’s power or toughness, such as the effects of Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite or prowess, will apply to it no matter when they started to take effect. The same is true for counters that change the creature’s power or toughness (such as +1/+1 counters).

A player’s “opening hand” is the hand of cards the player has after all players have taken mulligans and “scryed” if applicable. If players have any cards in hand that allow actions to be taken with them from a player’s opening hand, the starting player takes all such actions first in any order, followed by each other player in turn order. Then the first turn begins.

If multiple effects modify your hand size, apply them in timestamp order. For example, if you put Null Profusion (an enchantment that says your maximum hand size is two) onto the battlefield and then put Reliquary Tower onto the battlefield, you’ll have no maximum hand size. However, if those permanents enter the battlefield in the opposite order, your maximum hand size would be two.

You can decide to assign damage to the defending player or planeswalker even if the blocking creature has protection from green or damage preventing effects on it.
2018-04-27
When assigning combat damage, you choose whether you want to assign all damage to blocking creatures, or if you want to assign all of it to the player or planeswalker this creature is attacking. You can’t split the damage assignment between them.

If blocked by a creature with banding, the defending player decides whether or not the damage is assigned “as though it weren’t blocked”.

Stormtide Leviathan’s second ability causes each land on the battlefield to have the land type Island. Each land thus has the ability “{T}: Add {U}.” Nothing else changes about those lands, including their names, other subtypes, other abilities, and whether they’re legendary or basic.
2014-07-18
If Stormtide Leviathan loses its abilities, all lands on the battlefield (including those that enter the battlefield later on) will still be Islands in addition to their other types and will still be able to tap to produce {U}. The way continuous effects work, Stormtide Leviathan’s type-changing ability is applied before the effect that removes that ability is applied.
2014-07-18
Stormtide Leviathan’s third ability affects all creatures with neither flying nor islandwalk, regardless of who controls them. They can’t attack any player or planeswalker.
2014-07-18
Islandwalk cares about lands with the land type Island, not necessarily lands named Island.

If the creature isn’t tapped during its controller’s next untap step (perhaps because it was untapped by a spell), Wall of Frost’s ability has no effect at that time. It won’t try to keep the creature tapped on subsequent turns.
