GermanPockenHexereiJeder Spieler verliert 1/3 seiner Lebenspunkte. Dann wählt jeder Spieler 1/3 der Karten, die er auf der Hand hat und legt sie ab. Danach opfert jeder Spieler 1/3 seiner Kreaturen, die er beherrscht. Schließlich opfert jeder Spieler 1/3 seiner Länder, die er beherrscht. Alle Verluste werden aufgerundet. Effekte, die Schaden verhindern oder umleiten, können hier nicht angewendet werden, um den Verlust der Lebenspunkte zu verhindern.

datetext
2007-09-16Each part of Pox's effect is processed separately. For each part, first the player whose turn it is makes all necessary choices (such as which cards to discard), then each other player in turn order chooses, then the actions happen at the same time. Then Pox's effect moves to the next stage.
2007-09-16The losses, discards, and sacrifices are rounded up. For example, if you have 5 life, you'll lose 2 life, leaving you at 3 life. (Five divided by three is one and two-thirds. Rounding that up to the nearest whole number gives you two.)
2007-09-16The number you need to lose, discard, or sacrifice isn't calculated until it's time to perform that part of the effect. For example, if your opponent casts Pox and you discard Dodecapod as part of Pox's discard effect, Dodecapod will be put onto the battlefield instead of into your graveyard. Then, when determining how many creatures you need to sacrifice, the Dodecapod is taken into account.
