Enchantment, 1WW (3)
Rare
As Nevermore enters the battlefield, name a nonland card.
The named card can't be cast.
"By the law of Avacyn, the following thoughts, words, and deeds are henceforth disallowed."
Illus. Jason A. Engle
9/22/2011: No one can cast spells or activate abilities between the time a card is named and the time that Nevermore's ability starts to work.
9/22/2011: Spells with the chosen name that somehow happen to already be on the stack when Nevermore enters the battlefield are not affected by Nevermore's ability.
9/22/2011: Although the named card can't be cast, it can still be put onto the battlefield by a spell or ability (if it's a permanent card).
9/22/2011: If you want to name a split card, you must name both halves of it (for example, "Boom/Bust"). Neither side of that split card (Boom or Bust) can be cast.
9/22/2011: If you want to name a double-faced card, remember to name the front face of that card. (The back face can't be cast anyway.)
9/22/2011: The named card can be cast again once Nevermore leaves the battlefield.
