Carte Magic Decomposition

Decomposition 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

Enchant black creature Enchanted creature has "Cumulative upkeep—Pay 1 life." (At the beginning of its controller's upkeep, that player puts an age counter on it, then sacrifices it unless they pay its upkeep cost for each age counter on it.) When enchanted creature dies, its controller loses 2 life.

How it works : Decomposition

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If a permanent has multiple instances of cumulative upkeep, each triggers separately. However, the age counters are not connected to any particular ability; each cumulative upkeep ability will count the total number of age counters on the permanent at the time that ability resolves.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
