Carte Magic Deadly Cover-Up

Deadly Cover-Up 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

As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may collect evidence 6. Destroy all creatures. If evidence was collected, exile a card from an opponent's graveyard. Then search its owner's graveyard, hand, and library for any number of cards with that name and exile them. That player shuffles, then draws a card for each card exiled from their hand this way.

How it works : Deadly Cover-Up

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Unlike many other effects of this kind, Deadly Cover-Up allows its controller to exile a basic land.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If you can't exile enough cards to meet or exceed the required mana value, you can't choose to collect evidence at all.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Once you've announced that you're casting a spell, players can't take actions until you've finished doing so. Notably, opponents can't try to remove cards from your graveyard to stop you from collecting evidence.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
