Carte Magic Dream Eater

Dream Eater 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

Flash Flying When this creature enters, surveil 4. When you do, you may return target nonland permanent an opponent controls to its owner's hand. (To surveil 4, look at the top four cards of your library, then put any number of them into your graveyard and the rest on top of your library in any order.)

How it works : Dream Eater

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    You perform the actions stated on a card in sequence. For some spells and abilities, you'll surveil last. For others, you'll surveil and then perform other actions.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    When you surveil, you may put all the cards you look at back on top of your library, you may put all of those cards into your graveyard, or you may put some of those cards on top and the rest of them into your graveyard.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Dream Eater's triggered ability goes on the stack without a target. While that ability is resolving, after you've surveilled, the reflexive triggered ability triggers and you pick a target nonland permanent to be returned to its owner's hand. This is different from effects that say "If you do . . ." in that you choose the target after having surveilled.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    Dream Eater's reflexive triggered ability triggers even if you have fewer than four cards in your library to surveil.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
