Chaos Shrine's Black Crystal 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
Whenever a nontoken creature you control dies, exile it. At the beginning of your upkeep, you may put a creature card exiled with Chaos Shrine's Black Crystal onto the battlefield under your control with a finality counter on it.
How it works : Chaos Shrine's Black Crystal
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Multiple finality counters on a single permanent are redundant.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Finality counters work on any permanent, not only creatures. 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.
- #3· 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.
- #4· 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.
