Official rulings

7 rulings · in English, source Scryfall

Unlike the will of the council cards from the original Conspiracy set, where a majority of votes determined what happened, each vote made for a council’s dilemma card adds to the ultimate effect.

2016-08-23 · Wizards of the Coast

Players can’t do anything between voting and finishing the resolution of the spell or ability that included the vote.

2016-08-23 · Wizards of the Coast

No player votes until the spell or ability resolves. Any responses to that spell or ability must be made without knowing the outcome of the vote.

2016-08-23 · Wizards of the Coast

You must vote for one of the available options. You can’t abstain.

2016-08-23 · Wizards of the Coast

Because the votes are made in turn order, each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.

2016-08-23 · Wizards of the Coast

If a creature with an enters-the-battlefield council’s dilemma ability leaves the battlefield before that ability resolves, players can still vote for any option that would put +1/+1 counters on that creature, even though—or perhaps especially because—those votes won’t generate an effect.

2016-08-23 · Wizards of the Coast

The effects of each council’s dilemma ability happen in the stated order. First the vote occurs, then the first effect, and finally the second effect.
