Card Rulings
- August 1, 2008
You can activate the ability whether or not you have any cards in your hand. However, you’ll draw a card only if your hand is empty when the ability resolves. (This card works differently than the _Tempest_(TM) card Fool’s Tome.)

Price History

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.
