cr:6.4.9

A standard-replacement effect is a continuous replacement effect. A standard-replacement effect is typically written in the format “(If / The next) [CONDITION], instead [MODIFICATION],” where CONDITION specifies the condition for the replacement effect to be active, and MODIFICATION describes the modifications to the effect before it occurs.

Note: Cards printed before 2022 have also used the format “(When / Whenever) [CONDITION] instead [EFFECT].”
