Carte Magic Drain Power

Drain Power 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

Target player activates a mana ability of each land they control. Then that player loses all unspent mana and you add the mana lost this way.

How it works : Drain Power

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    A mana ability is an ability that (1) isn't a loyalty ability, (2) doesn't target, and (3) could add mana when it resolves.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    This card forces the target player to draw mana from lands if they are untapped, but that player can choose how to draw the mana if a land they control has multiple mana abilities, or mana abilities with choices.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Your opponent may use instants and abilities of permanents in response to this spell before you get the mana.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    If a land can draw a variable amount of mana, the target player (not the player of this spell) chooses how much to draw.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
