Carte Magic Death Begets Life

Death Begets Life 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

Destroy all creatures and enchantments. Draw a card for each permanent destroyed this way.

How it works : Death Begets Life

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Permanents with indestructible aren’t destroyed this way.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If a permanent destroyed this way goes to a zone other than a graveyard (for example, if it has a finality counter on it), it still counts as being destroyed and you’ll still draw a card.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
