Rulings
- : Additional hats won't give the creature more "strikes," but we like your spirit.
- : You "have a hat" if you have a hat with you, not if you own one somewhere. You don't have to be wearing the hat. But if you have a hat with you, why wouldn't you be wearing it? Does it not fit? Is it for a sports team that's bad? Did you just get your hair done? We're just curious. You don't have to explain.
- : Wigs and headbands count as hats. There are wig and headband stickers.
- : A creature with triple strike deals combat damage up to three times per combat: once along with other creatures with first strike (or double strike or triple strike), again with creatures without those abilities, and again along with creatures with last strike (an Un- game exclusive). The creature must survive each combat damage step in order to deal combat damage in the next one.
- : A hat is a garment worn on the head that's not part of another garment. Hoodies, for example, are not hats. Items that cover only the face and not the top of the head, such as a face mask, are also not hats. Hats are purposely decorative. Simply balancing a thing on your head doesn't make that thing a hat.
- : No player can remove another player's hat. That's unsporting conduct.
- : The above information pertaining to hats for creatures also pertains to actual hats for players.
- : A creature "has a hat" if the creature depicted in the art is in possession of a hat. That creature doesn't need to be wearing the hat. A background character such as a scale bird having a hat won't count.
- : You're "wearing a hat" if you're wearing a hat.
- : Key in this set—space helmets are not hats, although some creatures with space helmets also are wearing hats underneath those helmets.
