RULINGS

• 2004-10-04 The controller of The Abyss controls the ability, but the current player chooses what gets destroyed.
• 2008-10-01 This has the supertype world. When a world permanent enters, any world permanents that were already on the battlefield are put into their owners' graveyards. This is a state-based action called the "world rule." The new world permanent stays on the battlefield. If two world permanents enter at the same time, they're both put into their owners' graveyards.
