Carte Magic Dakmor Salvage

Dakmor Salvage 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

This land enters tapped. {T}: Add {B}. Dredge 2 (If you would draw a card, you may mill two cards instead. If you do, return this card from your graveyard to your hand.)

How it works : Dakmor Salvage

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    You can't attempt to use a dredge ability if you don't have enough cards in your library.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If you're drawing multiple cards, each draw is performed one at a time. For example, if you're instructed to draw two cards and you replace the first draw with a dredge ability, another card with a dredge ability (including one that was milled by the first dredge ability) may be used to replace the second draw.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Dredge can replace any card draw, not only the one during your draw step.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    If an effect puts a card into your hand without specifically using the word "draw," you're not drawing a card. Dredge can't replace this event.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    One card draw can't be replaced by multiple dredge abilities.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  6. #6· Wizards of the Coast

    Once you've announced that you're applying a card's dredge ability to replace a draw, players can't take any actions until you've put that card into your hand and milled cards.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
