In play
A card in play is a permanent. Only artifacts, artifact creatures, creatures, enchantments, and lands can be in play. Cards in your library, graveyard, and hand aren't in play.
   See also Permanent.

Instant
A type of spell that can be played almost anytime. When an instant resolves, it has an effect on the game, and then goes to its owner's graveyard like a sorcery. Unlike sorceries, you can play instants whenever you have priority, even during your opponent's turn. You can also play them in response to other spells, and because of the way the stack works, an instant played in response to another spell will resolve first.
   See also Priority, Stack.

Instead
When you see this word, you know the spell or ability makes a replacement effect.
   See also Replacement effect.

Islandwalk
A creature ability that makes the creature unblockable as long as the defending player controls an island.
   See also Landwalk.
