- Wizards of the Coast2004-10-04 · official rulingAt the start of the sub-game both players draw their initial hand (usually 7 cards). If one player has fewer cards than required, that player loses. If both have fewer than required, both players lose.
- Wizards of the Coast2004-10-04 · official rulingEvents in a Shahrazad sub-game do not normally trigger abilities in the main game. And continuous effects in the main game do not carry over into the sub-game.

- Wizards of the Coast2007-07-15 · official rulingAt the end of a subgame, each player puts all cards they own that are in the subgame into their library in the main game, then shuffles them. This includes cards in the subgame’s Exile zone.
- Wizards of the Coast2013-08-05Shahrazad was banned in vintage on August 5, 2013. The four-of card limits and the increase in deck size helped, but it didn't stop the degeneracy, so the next step was to further limit how many of a card players could play with. Banning meant that the card was no longer allowed to be played.Indexed from Twenty Things That Were Going To Kill Magic.
