Completes the delivery seam split out of #8638.

The defect

"Until end of turn, you may play lands and cast spells from your graveyard"
(Yawgmoth's Will, Gaea's Will, Magus of the Will) parsed green and delivered
nothing. Resolving the real Oracle text left the production consumer empty:

graveyard_lands_playable_by_permission(state, player) -> []

The class lowered to Effect::CastFromZone, which is not a channel any
land-permission consumer reads
. cast_from_zone::resolve derives its batch from
ability.live_object_targets(), and build_resolved_from_def supplies
Vec::new(), so the grant recorded nothing. The channel the runtime actually
consults is StaticMode::GraveyardCastPermission, read by
casting::graveyard_permission_sources.

CR 611.2c fixes the shape of the grant

A resolution-created continuous effect that does not modify characteristics
"modifies the rules of the game, so it can affect objects that weren't affected
when that continuous effect began." Playing a land is a special action
(CR 116.2a), not a characteristic — so this is that kind.

This is load-bearing for this card, not a technicality. Yawgmoth's Will's own
second sentence — "If a card would be put into your graveyard from anywhere this
turn, exile that card instead"
— is only meaningful if the first sentence reaches
cards that arrive in the graveyard after it resolved. You cast a spell from the
graveyard and the replacement catches it on the way back.

A grant stamped onto the objects present at resolution would silently miss every
card milled, discarded or cast later in the turn. So the permission is bound to the
player, and its affected filter is re-evaluated live — exactly as the printed
battlefield sources already are. d2 is the row that pins this.

Parser

A post-pass over the assembled chain replaces the refused "play lands" fragment
and its CastFromZone sibling with one Effect::GenericEffect installing a
GraveyardCastPermission for the stated window. play_mode: Play is the wider
mode — graveyard_permission_play_mode_matches admits a Play grant for a Cast
query but not the reverse — so one grant serves both printed actions, which is what
one printed permission naming two actions should produce.

It also clears the ability's CR 608.2d optionality. The "you may play lands" is
the permission being granted, not a choice the resolving spell offers: CR 608.2d
scopes resolution-time optionality to choices announced "while applying the
effect"
, and this sorcery offers none — the "may" is exercised later, each time the
player chooses to play a land.

Leaving that flag set made upfront_optional_gate prompt at resolution and, on a
decline, install nothing. That is precisely how the delivery looked broken: the
spell resolved to the graveyard with zero transient effects and no error anywhere.

Consumer

A TCE-direct arm on graveyard_permission_sources. This is an established
pattern, not a new one
— three permissions are already skipped from the layer
gather and read directly off the TCE, documented in
layers::gather_transient_continuous_effects citing CR 118.7 + CR 611.2c:

Mode Reader
MayLookAtFaceDown visibility::viewer_may_look_at_face_down
ReduceAbilityCost casting::reduce_activated_ability_cost
CastFromHandFree casting::transient_cast_free_permission

The layer system is the wrong vehicle here by design: it materializes only
Battlefield/Hand/Stack recipients (layer_pass_materializes_keywords), and a test
in layers.rs asserts that a graveyard-bound grant must be delivered by the
off-zone authority rather than that pass.

Tests

will_cycle_delivery.rs — 6 rows, every one driving the real cast pipeline and
asking the production consumer. The defect this suite exists to catch lived in the
gap between "the AST looks right" and "resolution installs something a consumer can
see", so no row asserts parse shape alone and no row hand-installs a permission.

Row What it pins
d1 the graveyard land becomes playable (was [])
d2 a land reaching the graveyard after resolution is covered (CR 611.2c)
d3 the permission ends at cleanup (CR 514.2)
d4 the same sentence behind a Suspend line (arrival shape)
g1 the grant does not reach an opponent
g2 a grant with no stated window is not delivered (CR 611.2a)

Each guard is mutation-verified — removing the code it protects turns exactly those
rows red:

remove the consumer arm        -> d1-d4 FAIL
remove the optionality clear   -> d1-d4 FAIL

Two existing rows changed, neither silently

will_cycle_duration_seam_b1::v5 asserted these cards remain honestly
unsupported. That was true when written — parsing the land half was never
sufficient — and this change is what makes it false. Inverted and renamed; it stays
a regression guard on the arrival shape.

kiora_self_library_peek_cast::coordinated_leading_durations_bind_to_the_cast_half
pinned CastFromZone { duration: UntilEndOfTurn } across seven fixtures. The three
Will cards no longer produce a CastFromZone at all. The guard is moved, not
dropped
: the_will_cycle_window_rides_the_delivered_permission pins the same
window on the delivered grant, because CR 611.2a makes an unstated duration last
until end of game and an unbound Yawgmoth's Will is the failure mode. The other
four fixtures stay on the original row — the sentence-grouping pass is shared.

Blast radius: measured, exactly the three target cards convert from
CastFromZone to GenericEffect. The other four fixtures are untouched.

CR

  • CR 116.2a — playing a land is a special action, from the zone it was in
  • CR 601.2a — casting
  • CR 611.2c — a rules-modifying continuous effect reaches objects that were not
    present when it began
  • CR 608.2d — resolution-time optionality is a choice announced while applying
    the effect
  • CR 514.2 — "until end of turn" effects end at cleanup
  • CR 611.2a — an unstated duration lasts until end of game
  • CR 113.6 — zone of function; an empty active_zones defaults to
    battlefield-only

Verification

  • cargo test -p phase-engine6807 integration + 21084 lib passed, 0 failed
  • cargo clippy -p phase-engine --all-targets -D warnings — clean
  • cargo fmt --all — clean

Rebased onto #8638 (now on main), which is a prerequisite: without its hoist a
windowed permission parses land-only, so wiring delivery would install a silently
land-only grant.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for Yawgmoth’s Will, Gaea’s Will, and Magus of the Will to grant permission to play lands and cast spells from your graveyard.
    • Permissions apply to eligible cards entering the graveyard during the effect and remain limited to the stated duration and player.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected handling of coordinated land-play and spell-casting clauses.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for timing, expiration, player restrictions, newly arriving cards, and clause delivery.

"Until end of turn, you may play lands and cast spells from your graveyard"
(Yawgmoth's Will, Gaea's Will, Magus of the Will) parsed green and delivered
NOTHING. Resolving the real Oracle text left the production consumer empty:

    graveyard_lands_playable_by_permission(state, player) -> []

WHY. The class lowered to `Effect::CastFromZone`, which is not a channel any
land-permission consumer reads. `cast_from_zone::resolve` derives its batch from
`ability.live_object_targets()` and `build_resolved_from_def` supplies
`Vec::new()`, so the grant recorded nothing. The channel the runtime actually
consults is `StaticMode::GraveyardCastPermission`, read by
`casting::graveyard_permission_sources`.

THE SHAPE OF THE GRANT IS FIXED BY CR 611.2c. A resolution-created continuous
effect that does not modify characteristics "modifies the rules of the game, so
it can affect objects that weren't affected when that continuous effect began."
Playing a land is a special action (CR 116.2a), not a characteristic, so this is
that kind — and it MUST be, for this card. Yawgmoth's Will's own second sentence
("If a card would be put into your graveyard from anywhere this turn, exile that
card instead") is only meaningful if the first sentence reaches cards that arrive
in the graveyard AFTER it resolved. A grant stamped onto the objects present at
resolution would silently miss every card milled, discarded or cast later in the
turn.

So the permission is bound to the PLAYER and its `affected` filter is
re-evaluated live, exactly as the printed battlefield sources already are.

PARSER (`parser/oracle.rs`). A post-pass over the assembled chain, where both
halves are adjacent, replaces the refused `"play lands"` fragment AND its
`CastFromZone` sibling with ONE `Effect::GenericEffect` installing a
`GraveyardCastPermission` for the stated window. `play_mode: Play` is the wider
mode — `graveyard_permission_play_mode_matches` admits a `Play` grant for a
`Cast` query but not the reverse — so one grant serves both printed actions.

It also clears the ability's CR 608.2d optionality. The "you MAY play lands" is
the permission being granted, not a choice the resolving spell offers: CR 608.2d
scopes resolution-time optionality to choices announced "while applying the
effect", and this sorcery offers none. Leaving the flag set made
`upfront_optional_gate` prompt at resolution and, on a decline, install nothing —
which is precisely how the whole delivery looked broken, with no error anywhere.

CONSUMER (`game/casting.rs`). A TCE-direct arm on
`graveyard_permission_sources`. This is an established pattern, not a new one:
`MayLookAtFaceDown`, `ReduceAbilityCost` and `CastFromHandFree` are each skipped
from the layer gather and read directly off the TCE, documented in
`layers::gather_transient_continuous_effects` citing CR 118.7 + CR 611.2c. The
layer system is the wrong vehicle here by design — it materializes only
Battlefield/Hand/Stack recipients (`layer_pass_materializes_keywords`), and a
test at `layers.rs` asserts a graveyard-bound grant must come from the off-zone
authority rather than that pass.

Guards, each mutation-verified — removing the code it protects turns exactly the
delivery rows red:

    remove the consumer arm         -> d1-d4 FAIL
    remove the optionality clear    -> d1-d4 FAIL

TESTS. `will_cycle_delivery.rs` — 6 rows, every one driving the REAL cast
pipeline and asking the production consumer, because the defect this suite exists
to catch lived in the gap between "the AST looks right" and "resolution installs
something a consumer can see". No row asserts parse shape alone; no row
hand-installs a permission.

    d1  the graveyard land becomes playable            (was: [])
    d2  a land reaching the graveyard AFTER resolution is covered   (CR 611.2c)
    d3  the permission ends at cleanup                 (CR 514.2)
    d4  the same sentence behind a Suspend line        (arrival shape)
    g1  the grant does not reach an opponent
    g2  a grant with no stated window is not delivered (CR 611.2a)

TWO EXISTING ROWS CHANGED, neither silently:

`will_cycle_duration_seam_b1::v5` asserted these cards remain honestly
unsupported. That was true when written — parsing the land half was never
sufficient — and this change is what makes it false. Inverted and renamed; it
stays a regression guard on the ARRIVAL SHAPE.

`kiora_self_library_peek_cast::coordinated_leading_durations_bind_to_the_cast_half`
pinned `CastFromZone { duration: UntilEndOfTurn }` on seven fixtures. The three
Will cards no longer produce a `CastFromZone` at all. The guard is MOVED, not
dropped: `the_will_cycle_window_rides_the_delivered_permission` pins the same
window on the delivered grant, because CR 611.2a makes an unstated duration last
until end of GAME and an unbound Yawgmoth's Will is the failure mode. The other
four fixtures stay on the original row — the sentence-grouping pass is shared.

BLAST RADIUS: measured, exactly the three target cards convert from
`CastFromZone` to `GenericEffect`. The other four fixtures in that row are
untouched.

Verified: 6807 integration + 21084 lib tests pass, 0 failed;
`clippy --all-targets -D warnings` clean; `cargo fmt --all` clean.

Prerequisite phase-rs#8638 (a stated window must not narrow a graveyard permission) is on
main; this is rebased onto it.

use the existing nom/parser axis combinators. Recognize the supported verb,

Changes requested — coordinated graveyard permission

  1. The new recovery predicate is a verbatim full-fragment parser dispatch: description.eq_ignore_ascii_case("play lands"). It only accepts that one spelling and bypasses the repository's composable nom grammar. Parse the supported play-land phrase through boundary-safe parser axes instead, then preserve the existing strict failure for forms outside the implemented class.

  2. Replacing the CastFromZone sibling unconditionally sets def.sub_ability = None. For Magus of the Will, that sibling owns the following sentence's lowered replacement tail, so the rewrite discards an independent printed clause before check_swallowed_clauses audits the final tree. Remove only the replaced cast node and retain its sub_ability tail; add a regression that proves the Magus replacement survives alongside the new permission.

  3. Tighten the regression tests so they prove the production shape they name: select the GenericEffect that actually grants GraveyardCastPermission, and add positive reach guards to the negative scope/window and Magus rows. As written, those assertions can pass after a failed or absent delivery.

CodeRabbit's current-head review independently identified these locations. The pending parse-diff and Rust shards remain additional evidence gaps, but the source and test issues above are sufficient to block this head.

    • Affected (first 3): Magus of the Will

Three review findings at ab9f190. The first is a defect this PR introduced.

**1. The rewrite discarded an independent printed clause.**

Replacing the refused head set `def.sub_ability = None`, which dropped the whole
tail rather than just the cast node it meant to remove.

MEASURED on Magus of the Will — two `swallowed-clause` warnings, and its
replacement sentence ("If a card would be put into your graveyard from anywhere
this turn, exile that card instead") gone from the parse:

    Magus of the Will   abilities=1 warnings=2   <- clause lost
    Yawgmoth's Will     abilities=2 warnings=0

The asymmetry is the whole story. Magus puts the entire card on ONE line, so the
following sentence lowers as the cast sibling's own `sub_ability`; Yawgmoth's
Will prints it on a SEPARATE line, so it lowers to a second top-level ability and
was never at risk. The one-line arrival shape is the one that loses text, which
is exactly the case a chain-truncating rewrite hides.

Splice instead: remove the cast node and reattach its tail. Both cards now parse
with zero warnings, and the redundant `CastFromZone` is still gone.

`g3_the_magus_replacement_clause_survives_the_rewrite` pins it, with a
reach-guard proving the permission is still delivered for that fixture (so the
warning check cannot pass because the pass simply declined) and a third
assertion that the tail hangs off the delivered grant rather than merely existing
somewhere. Mutation-verified: restoring `sub_ability = None` turns exactly that
row red.

**2. Verbatim full-fragment string dispatch.**

`description.eq_ignore_ascii_case("play lands")` is exactly the pattern CLAUDE.md
prohibits: it is parser dispatch on a literal Oracle sentence, and it pinned the
recognizer to one printed spelling.

Replaced with `parse_refused_land_play_fragment`, composed from nom axes — an
optional permission head, the verb, and the land noun in either number.
`all_consuming` keeps it boundary-safe, which is what preserves strict failure
for forms outside the modelled class.

Tested as a BUILDING BLOCK across its input range in `oracle_tests.rs`, not on
one card's text. Both directions carry consequences, so both are pinned: a form
wrongly rejected drops a card back to unsupported, and a form wrongly accepted
synthesizes a graveyard permission for a sentence that never granted one. The
negative rows include the two a naive matcher gets wrong — `"play lands from
your hand"` (a longer sentence that merely starts with the phrase, which would
otherwise deliver a GRAVEYARD permission) and `"play landfall"` (a word-boundary
collision a `starts_with` would accept).

**3. Assertions that could pass on a failed delivery.**

  * `kiora_self_library_peek_cast::generic_effect_duration_in` returned the FIRST
    `GenericEffect` in ability order without checking its mode. Every fixture on
    that row carries a second printed sentence and Gaea's Will adds a Suspend
    line, so an unrelated windowed effect could satisfy it — the row would stay
    green even if the delivery pass stopped emitting the permission entirely,
    which is the regression it exists to catch. Now pinned by static mode.

  * `will_cycle_duration_seam_b1`'s `v5` Magus row was all absence checks
    (`expected_installs` is 0, replacements 0, statics 0), so an empty or wholly
    failed parse satisfied every assertion. Added a positive shape check that the
    permission is actually installed, pinned by mode, on all three arrival shapes.

  * `will_cycle_delivery`'s `g1` and `g2` asserted only absence. `g1` now proves
    the CASTER holds the permission before asserting the opponent does not; `g2`
    runs its windowed twin first (the two sentences differ only by the leading
    "Until end of turn, ") and asserts the staged land really is in the graveyard,
    so the row measures the WINDOW rather than a delivery regression.

Source change is the splice plus the recognizer; parser output for the three
target cards is otherwise unchanged.

Verified: 6808 integration + 21114 lib tests pass, 0 failed;
`clippy --all-targets -D warnings` clean; `cargo fmt --all` clean.

All three findings addressed in a0e2edb. Finding 1 was a real defect this PR introduced, and I verified it before fixing.

1 — the rewrite discarded an independent printed clause. Confirmed by measurement, not inspection:

Magus of the Will   abilities=1 warnings=2   <- replacement clause LOST
Yawgmoth's Will     abilities=2 warnings=0

The asymmetry is the whole story. Magus puts the entire card on one line, so the following sentence lowers as the cast sibling's own sub_ability; Yawgmoth's Will prints it on a separate line, so it becomes a second top-level ability and was never at risk. The one-line arrival shape is the one that loses text — exactly the case a chain-truncating rewrite hides.

Now splices: the cast node is removed and its tail reattached. Both cards parse with zero warnings, and the redundant CastFromZone is still gone. g3 pins it with a reach-guard (the permission is still delivered, so the warning check can't pass because the pass declined) plus a third assertion that the tail hangs off the delivered grant rather than merely existing somewhere. Mutation-verified — restoring sub_ability = None turns exactly that row red.

2 — verbatim dispatch. You're right that this is the prohibited pattern. Replaced with a nom recognizer composed from axes (optional permission head, verb, land noun in either number), all_consuming for boundary safety. Tested as a building block across its input range in oracle_tests.rs rather than on one card's text, both directions — a form wrongly rejected drops a card to unsupported, one wrongly accepted synthesizes a permission that was never granted. The negative rows include the two a naive matcher gets wrong: "play lands from your hand" (would otherwise deliver a graveyard permission) and "play landfall" (word-boundary collision).

3 — assertions that could pass on a failed delivery. All four spots, including the two CodeRabbit raised:

  • kiora's generic_effect_duration_in took the first GenericEffect positionally — now pinned by static mode, so it can't be satisfied by an unrelated windowed effect.
  • b1's v5 Magus row was entirely absence checks (expected_installs 0, replacements 0, statics 0) — added a positive shape check on all three arrival shapes.
  • g1 now proves the caster holds the permission before asserting the opponent does not.
  • g2 runs its windowed twin first (the sentences differ only by the leading window) and asserts the staged land is really in the graveyard, so it measures the window rather than a delivery regression.

Verified: 6808 integration + 21114 lib pass, 0 failed; clippy --all-targets -D warnings clean; fmt clean.

One process note: my first clippy run on the previous head reported a redundant_closure error that I initially misread as clean — I'd read a trailing exit code from a parallel job rather than the verdict. It's fixed and re-verified here.

186-200: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Test owner scope with a controller-owner mismatch.

This fixture creates the opponent card with controller == owner. The test passes if the graveyard query incorrectly filters by controller instead of owner.

Create an opponent-owned graveyard land whose controller is PlayerId(0). Assert that Player 0's permission does not expose it. This protects the CR 108.4a ownership requirement.

As per path instructions, “Player-scoped queries on NON-battlefield zones ... must filter by obj.owner, not controller,” and create_object fixtures can mask this bug when controller = owner.

Exercise the Magus replacement clause through the game engine.

This test only inspects AbilityDefinition.sub_ability. It passes if a non-replacement tail is attached, or if the attached replacement effect cannot apply at runtime.

Resolve Magus through GameRunner, then route a card toward its owner's graveyard through the production zone-change pipeline. Assert that the replacement exiles that card. Keep the structural assertion as a narrow parser test if needed.

As per path instructions, “A test must exercise the FAILURE path” through the production pipeline, and “a parser AST shape test does NOT prove runtime semantics.”

Re: CodeRabbit's finding on will_cycle_delivery.rs:186-200 (owner/controller mismatch in the g1 fixture) — verified and not applicable here. No change made; reasoning below so it's on the record.

The finding assumes the query filters by an owner/controller field comparison, so that a fixture with owner == controller could mask a controller-based bug. graveyard_lands_playable_by_permission doesn't do that — it iterates player_data.graveyard, a per-player zone list, and create_object inserts into the owner's list via add_to_zone(state, id, zone, owner). Ownership is therefore established by which list the card is in, not by a field the query compares.

I built the exact fixture CodeRabbit proposed (opponent-owned land, controller forced to PlayerId(0)) to check rather than argue from reading:

opp_land=ObjectId(3) owner=P1 controller=P0
P0 graveyard list = [ObjectId(1)]
P1 graveyard list = [ObjectId(3)]
P0 playable      = [(ObjectId(1), ObjectId(2))]

The mismatched card lands in P1's graveyard list and P0's query never sees it. The proposed row would pass identically whether the consumer keyed on owner or controller, so it would add a guard that cannot fail — the vacuous-assertion problem the rest of this review round was specifically about.

The CR 108.4a ownership requirement the finding wants protected is real, and it is enforced one layer up, in graveyard_permission_sources:

let source_belongs_to_player = match obj.zone {
    Zone::Battlefield => obj.controller == player,
    _ => obj.owner == player,
};

That's the owner-vs-controller split for non-battlefield zones, and it's on the SOURCE selection. A test that discriminates it would need a permission-granting source in an opponent's graveyard, not a land — a different fixture than the one proposed, and orthogonal to what g1 is pinning (that the delivered grant is bound to the caster).

Happy to add that source-side row if you'd like it, but it belongs in the consumer's own suite rather than in g1.

5130-5228: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use owner-zone matching for graveyard permissions. The spell-cast, cast-source, and land-play paths pass graveyard cards to matches_target_filter, where ControllerRef::You compares obj.controller. A control-changed card can therefore fail a your graveyard filter even when its owner is the querying player. Route these checks through matches_target_filter_for_zone(..., Zone::Graveyard, ...) and add a regression case with different owner and controller. The existing opponent-scope test does not cover this path because its SpecificPlayer grantee check rejects the query before card ownership is evaluated.

Changes requested

[MED] Use the owner-zone filter authority for transient graveyard permissions. Evidence: the new spell path calls matches_target_filter for a graveyard object at crates/engine/src/game/casting.rs:5737-5742, and the land-play path does the same at :5813-5818. matches_target_filter_for_zone(..., Zone::Graveyard, ...) is the established authority at crates/engine/src/game/filter.rs:2489-2515; it substitutes owner for controller in graveyard filters, as required for your graveyard. Why it matters: a card whose stale controller differs from its owner can be excluded from its owner’s Will permission, while the feature claims to reevaluate the owner’s current graveyard. Suggested fix: route both consumers through matches_target_filter_for_zone with Zone::Graveyard, and add a production regression where the graveyard card has distinct owner/controller, alongside the supported normal-owner control.

The prior verbatim parser dispatch and chain-tail loss are not retained as blockers at this head. This request is limited to the current owner-zone correctness gap.

The owner-zone finding is now #8860, standalone. This PR is unchanged — I backed the fix out of it deliberately, reasoning below.

The finding is real, and I verified it end to end. With a printed Ramunap-Excavator-shaped source:

land owner=P0   live_controller=P0   lki_controller=Some(P1)
before:  graveyard_lands_playable_by_permission(state, P0) -> []
after:                                                     -> [(land, source)]

Muldrotha, Karador, Lurrus and Ramunap Excavator all declined a card their controller owns when an opponent controlled it at death. CR 109.4 + 108.4a + 109.5 are unambiguous that "your graveyard" is owner-scoped.

Three corrections to the finding as filed, each of which changed what I built:

  1. The stated mechanism is unreachable. A graveyard card cannot have a stale live controllerreset_for_battlefield_exit forces base_controller = Some(owner) and zones.rs's destination-keyed reset writes the owner back, citing these same rules. The real divergence is the LKI cache: effective_controller reads lki_cache[id].controller under LiveOrLki for off-battlefield objects, and that snapshot predates the reset. matches_target_filter_in_owner_zone passes LiveOnly, which is the actual cure. Exposure is one step (CR 400.7 clears it on step transition), and the failure is mis-exclusion only.

  2. One cited site is an exile path, and converting it would regress. :5813-5818 is exile_land_playable_by_static_permission, not a graveyard consumer. is_owner_scoped_zone deliberately excludes Exile, and its doc names the dependent class — "creatures they controlled that were exiled this way" is keyed on the at-exile controller. I left it alone. (:5737-5742 is also the land path, not the spell path.)

  3. There are four graveyard consumers, not two — enumeration, election, the keyword-constraint query, and land play. fix(engine): "your graveyard" is owner-scoped, not controller-scoped #8860 converts all four; doing a subset would let the offer list disagree with what a cast is actually permitted.

On the requested regression test: as worded ("the graveyard card has distinct owner/controller") it would be vacuous — that state can't be produced, and CardBuilder::controlled_by debug_asserts against building it off-battlefield. #8860's rows instead steal on the battlefield and bury through zones::move_to_zone, then assert the divergence (live == owner, LKI == thief) before asserting anything, so a step boundary clearing the cache can't turn them vacuous. All three are mutation-verified.

Why separate: this PR adds no matches_target_filter call — the four consumers are pre-existing, and any correct fix changes behaviour for the printed Muldrotha/Karador/Lurrus class that this PR never touches. #8860 carries its own rows against a printed fixture for exactly that reason.

Happy to merge them if you'd rather have it in one — but the blast radii are genuinely disjoint, and #8860 stands on its own without this PR.

Thanks for documenting the split. I confirmed that #8812 is unchanged at 682d3548293cde9e4dee05d58ed8b508842ae153 and the current formal review still applies: the graveyard-permission consumers must use the owner-zone filter authority rather than LKI/controller state for cards in a player's graveyard (review).

Putting that cross-cutting correction in #8860 is reasonable, but it does not waive the dependency: #8860 is currently open, CHANGES_REQUESTED, and BLOCKED with required checks in progress. #8812 therefore remains blocked until #8860 resolves and lands, followed by a rebase/retest here, or until an equivalent complete correction is included in this PR. This comment adds no new source request and does not supersede the formal review.
