## Official Rulings
- *(2009-10-01)* If either permanent targeted by the chaos ability is an illegal target by the time the ability resolves, the exchange doesn't happen. If both targets become illegal, the ability doesn't resolve.
- *(2009-10-01)* Neither permanent you target with the chaos ability needs to be one you control.
- *(2009-10-01)* The controller of a face-up plane card is the player designated as the "planar controller." Normally, the planar controller is whoever the active player is. However, if the current planar controller would leave the game, instead the next player in turn order that wouldn't leave the game becomes the planar controller, then the old planar controller leaves the game. The new planar controller retains that designation until they leave the game or a different player becomes the active player, whichever comes first.
- *(2009-10-01)* A face-up plane card that's turned face down becomes a new object with no relation to its previous existence. In particular, it loses all counters it may have had.
- *(2009-10-01)* Both permanents targeted by the chaos ability may be controlled by the same player. If they are, the effect nothing.
- *(2009-10-01)* A plane card is treated as if its text box included "When you roll {PW}, put this card on the bottom of its owner's planar deck face down, then move the top card of your planar deck off that planar deck and turn it face up." This is called the "planeswalking ability."
