Carte Magic Alpharael, Stonechosen

Alpharael, Stonechosen 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

Ward—Discard a card at random. Void — Whenever Alpharael attacks, if a nonland permanent left the battlefield this turn or a spell was warped this turn, defending player loses half their life, rounded up.

How it works : Alpharael, Stonechosen

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If a player casts a spell for its warp cost but that spell is countered or otherwise fails to resolve, that spell was still warped, so the condition required by void abilities will be fulfilled for that turn.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Some void abilities are triggered abilities with intervening if clauses. If a nonland permanent hasn’t left the battlefield during that turn or a spell wasn’t warped that turn by the time the ability would trigger, it won’t trigger at all.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
