Carte Magic Advanced Reconstruction

Advanced Reconstruction is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.

01

Official card text

(Gain the next level as a sorcery to add its ability.) At the beginning of your first main phase, mill a card, then exile a card from your graveyard at random. You may play the exiled card this turn. {1}{R}: Level 2 Whenever one or more cards leave your graveyard, this Class deals 2 damage to each opponent. {1}{R}: Level 3 Spells you cast from anywhere other than your hand cost {2} less to cast.

How it works : Advanced Reconstruction

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    You pay all costs and follow all timing rules for cards played this way. For example, if the exiled card is a land card, you may play it only during your main phase while the stack is empty and only if you have an available land play remaining.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If multiple cards leave your graveyard at the same time, Advanced Reconstruction's level 2 ability will trigger only once.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions (such as that of Advanced Reconstruction's level 3 ability). The mana value of the spell is determined by only its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast that spell was.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
