Blood Spatter Analysis 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
When this enchantment enters, it deals 3 damage to target creature an opponent controls. Whenever one or more creatures die, mill a card and put a bloodstain counter on this enchantment. Then sacrifice it if it has five or more bloodstain counters on it. When you do, return target creature card from your graveyard to your hand.
How it works : Blood Spatter Analysis
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Blood Spatter Analysis is sacrificed for having five or more bloodstain counters on it only while its second ability is resolving. If you put a fifth counter on it some other way, it won't be immediately sacrificed.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
You don't choose a target creature card to return from your graveyard to your hand at the time Blood Spatter Analysis's second ability triggers. Rather, a second "reflexive" ability triggers when you sacrifice Blood Spatter Analysis this way. You choose a target for that ability as it goes on the stack. Each player may respond to this triggered ability as normal.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
Blood Spatter Analysis's reflexive triggered ability triggers and returns a creature card to your hand only if you sacrifice it while resolving its second ability. It won't trigger if you sacrifice it for any other reason.
No other card is named in this ruling.
