Rulings

The exchange isn’t optional. If there is a legal choice, you must make one.

The permanents have to share a permanent type both when the target is chosen and when the ability resolves.

Even though Confusion in the Ranks triggers only when an artifact, creature, or enchantment enters the battlefield, the ability can target a land if the permanent entering the battlefield is an artifact land.

Dec 1, 2004

The permanents are exchanged only if they’re both on the battlefield when the ability resolves.

Dec 1, 2004

Confusion in the Ranks triggers on itself entering the battlefield. If an opponent controls an enchantment, exchange Confusion in the Ranks for that enchantment.
