There are a few basic premises involved in taking the second installment of the Delphi Test series.

• This test is not timed-- it is recommended you review the entire test again after completing it but before attempting to score the test.
• Always read the question and answers carefully.
• It is recommended that Delphi be taken once without assistance and then repeated with a copy of the Comprehensive Rules available.

*Extra Special Note: Unless a question states otherwise, you may assume that all players have a sufficient amount of mana to pay whatever costs are necessary. No permanents are in play other than the permanents specified in each question. Creatures with their characteristics listed parenthetically in a test question have no additional abilities.

Here is some shorthand as well as the official wording for several abilities that appear in the test. You may wish to refer back here during the test:

• [...] are Comprehensive Rules references
• B = one Black mana
• U = one Blue mana
• G = one Green mana
• R = one Red mana
• W = one White mana
• T = Tap
• Buyback X #(If you pay an additional X as you play this spell, put it into your hand instead of your graveyard as part of the spell's resolution.)#
• Cycling 2 #(You may pay 2 and discard this card from your hand to draw a card. Play this ability any time you could play an instant.)#
• Echo #(At the beginning of your next upkeep after this permanent comes under your control, sacrifice it unless you pay its mana cost.)#
• Fading X #(This artifact comes into play with X fade counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a fade counter from it. If you can't, sacrifice it.)#
• Haste #(This creature may attack and T the turn it comes under your control.)#
