Elkin Lair 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.
Official card text
At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player exiles a card at random from their hand. The player may play that card this turn. At the beginning of the next end step, if the player hasn't played the card, they put it into their graveyard.
How it works : Elkin Lair
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
This has the supertype world. When a world permanent enters, any world permanents that were already on the battlefield are put into their owners' graveyards. This is a state-based action called the "world rule." The new world permanent stays on the battlefield. If two world permanents enter at the same time, they're both put into their owners' graveyards.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
You can play the card this turn, not just during the resolution of the ability.
No other card is named in this ruling.
