Carte Magic Captain Ripley Vance

Captain Ripley Vance 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

Whenever you cast your third spell each turn, put a +1/+1 counter on Captain Ripley Vance, then it deals damage equal to its power to any target.

How it works : Captain Ripley Vance

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Captain Ripley Vance need not be on the battlefield to witness the first two spells being cast. As long as it's already on the battlefield when you cast the third spell of a turn, its ability triggers.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Believe it or not, Ripley counts spells that were cast even if they didn't resolve. This means it still counts spells that were countered.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Copying a spell is not the same as casting a spell.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
