Cruel Reality 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

Enchant player At the beginning of enchanted player's upkeep, that player sacrifices a creature or planeswalker of their choice. If the player can't, they lose 5 life.

How it works : Cruel Reality

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    There are many important moments in the story, but the most crucial—called “story spotlights”—are shown on cards. These cards have the Planeswalker symbol in their text box; this symbol has no effect on gameplay. You can read more about these events in the official Magic fiction at http://www.mtgstory.com.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    The enchanted player chooses a permanent to sacrifice from among the creatures and planeswalkers that player controls. You don’t choose which type of permanent the player has to sacrifice.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    The enchanted player can’t choose to lose 5 life if they have a creature or planeswalker that can be sacrificed.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
