Carte Magic Dragon's Approach

Dragon's Approach 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

Dragon's Approach deals 3 damage to each opponent. You may exile this spell and four cards named Dragon's Approach from your graveyard. If you do, search your library for a Dragon creature card, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle. A deck can have any number of cards named Dragon's Approach.

How it works : Dragon's Approach

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    In most cases, you'll need to exile five cards named Dragon's Approach (the resolving one from the stack plus four more from your graveyard) to search for a Dragon card. However, if Dragon's Approach is a copy, you can still exile it along with four cards named Dragon's Approach from your graveyard to search for a Dragon card. The exiled copy will then cease to exist.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    The last ability of Dragon's Approach lets you ignore the "four-of" rule. It doesn't let you ignore format legality. For example, during a Strixhaven Limited event, you can't add Dragon's Approach from your personal collection.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
