Carte Magic Balustrade Wurm

Balustrade Wurm 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

This spell can't be countered. Trample, haste Delirium — {2}{G}{G}: Return this card from your graveyard to the battlefield with a finality counter on it. Activate only if there are four or more card types among cards in your graveyard and only as a sorcery.

How it works : Balustrade Wurm

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If a permanent with a finality counter on it would be put into a graveyard from the battlefield, exile it instead.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Finality counters don't stop permanents from going to zones other than the graveyard from the battlefield. For example, if a permanent with a finality counter on it would be put into its owner's hand from the battlefield, it does so normally.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Finality counters aren't keyword counters, and a finality counter doesn't give any abilities to the permanent it's on. If that permanent loses its abilities and then would go to a graveyard, it will still be exiled instead.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    Multiple finality counters on a single permanent are redundant.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
