Card Rulings

February 2, 2024
If the target creature is a face-down creature that can’t be turned face up for any reason, it will remain face down on the battlefield and still deal damage equal to its power (which is very likely to be 2) to each other creature.

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.
