Carte Magic Encroaching Mycosynth

Encroaching Mycosynth 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

Nonland permanents you control are artifacts in addition to their other types. The same is true for permanent spells you control and nonland permanent cards you own that aren't on the battlefield.

How it works : Encroaching Mycosynth

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Encroaching Mycosynth turns all permanents you control into artifacts. Permanent spells you control become artifact spells in addition to their other types, and nonland permanent cards you own in other zones become artifact cards in addition to their other types.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Encroaching Mycosynth's ability causes Auras to become artifacts. This makes it more likely that another effect (such as that of March of the Machines) will make those artifact Auras into creatures. An Aura that's also a creature can't enchant anything. It's unattached the next time state-based actions are checked, and then immediately put into its owner's graveyard as a second state-based action.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
