Carte Magic Dancing from Dark to Dawn

Dancing from Dark to Dawn 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 a creature spell, put X +1/+1 counters on target creature you control, where X is that spell's mana value. Landfall — Whenever a land you control enters, create a 2/2 green Bear creature token.

How it works : Dancing from Dark to Dawn

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If the creature spell has {X} in its mana cost, use the value chosen for X when calculating that spell's mana value.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    A landfall ability doesn't trigger if a permanent already on the battlefield becomes a land.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    A landfall ability triggers whenever a land you control enters for any reason. It triggers whenever you play a land, as well as whenever a spell or ability puts a land onto the battlefield under your control.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    Whenever a land you control enters, each landfall ability of permanents you control will trigger. You can put them on the stack in any order. The last ability you put on the stack will be the first one to resolve (as a result, you can have those abilities resolve in the order of your choosing).

    No other card is named in this ruling.
