Card Rulings

  1. January 12, 2024

    When you surveil, you may put all the cards you look at back on top of your library, you may put all of those cards into your graveyard, or you may put some of those cards on top and the rest of them into your graveyard.

    You perform the actions stated on a card in sequence. For some spells and abilities, you'll surveil last. For others, you'll surveil and then perform other actions.

    Each split card has two names. If an effect instructs you to choose a card name, you may choose one of those names, but not both.

    If you copy a spell that's half of a split card, the copy copies that same half. For example, if you copy Assault, the copy is also Assault, not Battery.

    If an effect allows you to cast a spell with certain characteristics, consider only the characteristics of the half you're casting. For example, if an effect allows you to cast a sorcery spell with mana value 2 or less from among cards in your graveyard, you could cast Assault this way, but not Battery.

    Split cards have two card faces on a single card. The characteristics of the half you didn't cast are ignored while the spell is on the stack.

    To cast a split card, choose one of its halves to cast. There's no way to cast both halves of this split card.

    Source: wotc
  8. December 8, 2022

    Each split card is a single card. For example, if you discard a split card, you've discarded one card, not two. If an effect counts the number of sorcery cards in your graveyard, Assault // Battery counts once, not twice.

    Source: wotc
  9. December 8, 2022

    A split card's characteristics are a combination of its two halves while it is not on the stack. For example, Assault // Battery has a mana value of 5 while it is in your library. If an effect allows you to search your library for a card with mana value 4 or less, you can't find Assault // Battery.

    The creature card you return with Concoct may be one that you just surveilled into your graveyard.

    Connive's effect lasts indefinitely. It doesn't wear off during the cleanup step, and it doesn't expire if the creature's power becomes greater after Connive has resolved.

    No player may take actions between the time you surveil and the time you return a creature card to the battlefield.

Price History

Wizard conjuring a magic the gathering cards

To study a single card is to glimpse the heart of a spell - a frozen moment of ambition, artistry, and arcane intent. Within each glyph lies a spark: a story untold, a duel turned, a destiny altered. Treat it not as mere parchment, dear seeker, but as a shard of the Multiverse itself.
