Carte Magic Drafna, Founder of Lat-Nam

Drafna, Founder of Lat-Nam 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}{U}: Return target artifact you control to its owner's hand. {3}, {T}: Copy target artifact spell you control. (The copy becomes a token.)

How it works : Drafna, Founder of Lat-Nam

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    A resolving copy of a permanent spell becomes a token, so the token isn't "created." Effects that care about a token being created won't interact with a token that enters the battlefield because the triggered ability copied a permanent spell.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If an effect copies a prototyped spell, that copy (as well as the token it becomes on the battlefield) will have the same characteristics as the prototyped spell.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
