**'''613.1.''' The values of an object's characteristics are determined by starting with the actual object. For a card, that means the values of the characteristics printed on that card. For a [[token]] or a copy of a spell or card, that means the values of the characteristics defined by the effect that created it. Then all applicable continuous effects are applied in a series of layers in the following order: | **'''613.1.'''

Some continuous effects affect game rules rather than objects. For example, effects may modify a player's maximum [[hand]] size, or say that a creature must attack this turn if able.

Continuous effects that affect the costs of spells or abilities are applied according to the order specified in rule [[Casting Spells|601.2e]]. All other such effects are applied in timestamp order.
