Carte Magic Dark-Dweller Oracle

Dark-Dweller Oracle 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

{1}, Sacrifice a creature: Exile the top card of your library. You may play that card this turn. (You still pay its costs. You can play a land this way only if you have an available land play remaining.)

How it works : Dark-Dweller Oracle

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Dark-Dweller Oracle doesn't change when you can cast the exiled card. For example, if you exile a sorcery card, you can cast it only during your main phase when the stack is empty. If you exile a land card, you can play it only during your main phase and only if you have an available land play remaining.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Casting an exiled card causes it to leave exile. You can't cast it multiple times.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If you don't cast the exiled card, it remains in exile.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    You can sacrifice Dark-Dweller Oracle to pay the cost for its own ability.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
