Behind the Mask 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.
Official card text
As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may collect evidence 6. (Exile cards with total mana value 6 or greater from your graveyard.) Until end of turn, target artifact or creature becomes an artifact creature with base power and toughness 4/3. If evidence was collected, it has base power and toughness 1/1 until end of turn instead.
How it works : Behind the Mask
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Behind the Mask will overwrite any previous effects that set a creature or Vehicle's power and toughness to specific numbers. Effects that otherwise modify its power and toughness will still apply no matter when they took effect. The same is true for +1/+1 counters.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If Behind the Mask causes a Vehicle to become an artifact creature, it doesn't count as "crewing" that Vehicle for any ability that would trigger off of a Vehicle becoming crewed.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
If you can't exile enough cards to meet or exceed the required mana value, you can't choose to collect evidence at all.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
Once you've announced that you're casting a spell, players can't take actions until you've finished doing so. Notably, opponents can't try to remove cards from your graveyard to stop you from collecting evidence.
No other card is named in this ruling.
