Carte Magic Aether Rift

Aether Rift 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

At the beginning of your upkeep, discard a card at random. If you discard a creature card this way, return it from your graveyard to the battlefield unless any player pays 5 life.

How it works : Aether Rift

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    First, the card is discarded. Then, in turn order, each player is given the option to pay 5 life. Then, if no player paid 5 life, the card is put onto the battlefield from the graveyard.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    The card is actually discarded, so anything which triggers on a discard will trigger. Such abilities will wait to go on the stack until after this ability has completely resolved.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
