- WWizards of the Coast2018-12-07Official RulingYou draw two cards and discard two cards all while Frantic Search is resolving. Nothing can happen between the two, and no player may choose to take actions.
- WWizards of the Coast2022-12-08Official RulingYou choose which lands to untap as the spell resolves. They aren't targeted, and they don't have to be lands that you control.

- Wizards of the Coast2025-11-10Frantic Search was banned in historic on November 10, 2025. Frantic Search is a card applicable mostly to contexts as a free combo-enabler. While we are reevaluating the strength of combos that we are happy with in Historic, Frantic Search is a risk that we believe should be kept out of the format for now.
