General changes

Old rule (Core Set - Ninth Edition) New rule (Ravnica: City of Guilds)

Becomes

Some trigger events use the word "becomes" (for example, "becomes tapped" or "becomes blocked"). These trigger only at the time the named event happens-they don't trigger if that state already exists or retrigger if it persists. For example, "becomes tapped" triggers only once and only when a permanent's status changes from untapped to tapped.
