General changes

Old rule (Masters Edition) New rule (Lorwyn)

Comes into Play

A permanent comes into play when the card or token representing it is moved into the in-play zone. A permanent whose type or controller changes doesn't "come into play." Permanents come into play untapped and under the control of whoever put them into play. When a permanent comes into play, first apply any replacement effects, then apply continuous effects, then check to determine if the current form of the permanent generates any triggered abilities.

Example: If an instruction causes something to come into play tapped, it isn't put into play untapped and then tapped.
