Central Elevator // Promising Stairs rulings

2024-09-20
Two or more objects (cards, permanents, spells, etc.) have the same name if they have at least one name in common, even if one or more of those objects have additional names. Central Elevator's ability lets you search your library for any Room card that doesn't share a name with a Room you control on the battlefield, checking only the names of unlocked doors. If a Room on the battlefield has no unlocked doors, it doesn't have either of its names.
2024-09-20
Promising Stairs's ability counts names, not permanents. A Room with two unlocked doors has two names.

To “surveil N” means to look at the top N cards of your library, then put any number of them into your graveyard and the rest on top of your library in any order.

If an effect allows you to look at additional cards while you surveil, those cards are included among the cards you may put into your graveyard and on top of your library in any order.

If a player is instructed to surveil 0, no surveil event occurs. Abilities that trigger whenever a player surveils won’t trigger.
