2004-10-04 · Wizards of the Coast

It only changes what is printed on the card (or set on a token when it was created or set by a copy effect). It will not change any effects that are on the permanent.

If you change the text of a spell which is to become a permanent, the permanent will retain the text change until the effect wears off.

2004-10-04 · Wizards of the Coast

Alters all occurrences of the chosen word in the text box and the type line of the given card.

2004-10-04 · Wizards of the Coast

You can’t Sleight proper nouns (i.e. card names). This means that you can’t affect a “Black Vise”.

2004-10-04 · Wizards of the Coast

Changing the text of a spell will not allow you to change the targets of the spell because the targets were chosen when the spell was cast. The text change will (probably) cause it to be countered since the targets will be illegal.
