Tranquility now states "Until the beginning of your next turn, all
Spells, Powers, and Effects that discard energy instead discard no
energy." (It was MRP'd in the 2001 demo decks. Complete list of
MRP's, errata, and clarifications is available in the files section
of this list.) This is functionally equivalent to "reduce energy
loss to zero" (it is an out-of-date wording) and should not be
confused with the similar "instead does nothing." Note that the
Rayje's Sword Effect "Piercing" also goes through Tranquility, where
it doesn't go through any of the "instead does nothing" effects. The
wording similarity is unfortunate, and use of "instead discard no
energy" has been discontinued in future cards for this reason.
