Rulings
-
Except in some very rare cases, the card each player draws will be the card revealed from the top of their library.
-
Selvala’s ability is not a mana ability. Players can respond to it, and it can’t be activated in the middle of paying for a cost. A recent update to rule 605.1a has made any abilities that move cards to or from libraries no longer mana abilities.
