General changes

Old rule (Ravnica: City of Guilds) New rule (Guildpact)

202.2b.

If an object grants to another object an ability that includes the first object's name, the name refers only to the object granting the ability, not to any other object with the same name.

Example: Saproling Burst has an ability that reads "Remove a fade counter from Saproling Burst: Put a green Saproling creature token into play. It has 'This creature's power and toughness are each equal to the number of fade counters on Saproling Burst.'" The ability granted to the token only looks at the Saproling Burst that created the token, not at any other Saproling Burst in play.
