“Such effects watch for a particular event that would happen and completely or partially replace that event with a different event.”
2. How do they work?
“Such effects watch for a particular event that would happen and completely or partially replace that event with a different event.”
They look to the future
Event? “Anything that happens in a
game is an event. Multiple events may take
place during the resolution of a spell or ability.
The text of triggered abilities and replacement effects defines the event they’re looking for.”
Event
NOT “Enters with a +1/+1 counter” + “Enters with two +1/+1 counters”
BUT “Enters the battlefield” → “Enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter” → “Enters the battlefield with three +1/+1
counters”
Replacement effects are not events, they modify events.

How to determine which to apply?
The affected player chooses Some replacement effects have to be
chosen above others
Order1. Self-replacement
2. Control-changing
3. Copy
4. Any
Once one replacement effect is chosen, the game rechecks which replacement effects are applicable
4.2 Effect? “I’ll probably be
changing that rule for a future update. If this goes as planned, after that update you’ll double the counters on Gemstone Mine, Vivid lands, etc.”

Anafenza
“Anafenza’s last ability cares only what the card would be in the zone it’s moving from, not what it would be in the graveyard.”
Anafenza “In the text of spells or abilities, the term
“card” is used only to refer to a card that’s not on the battlefield or on the stack, such as a creature card in a player’s hand.”
