Carte Magic Doubling Cube

Doubling Cube 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

{3}, {T}: Double the amount of each type of unspent mana you have.

How it works : Doubling Cube

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Doubling Cube's ability is a mana ability.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    The "type" of mana is its color, or lack thereof (if the mana is colorless).

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Any restrictions on the unspent mana aren't copied. For example, if you have {C}{W}{W}{B} with no restrictions on it and {U}{U}{U} that can be used only to cast artifact spells, you'll end up with {C}{C}{W}{W}{W}{W}{B}{B}, {U}{U}{U} that can be used only to cast artifact spells, and {U}{U}{U} that can be used for anything.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
