Carte Magic Fossil Find

Fossil Find 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

Return a card at random from your graveyard to your hand, then reorder your graveyard as you choose.

How it works : Fossil Find

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    The easiest way to choose a card at random from your graveyard is to turn your graveyard face down, shuffle it, and pick a card. You’re not normally allowed to reorder your graveyard, but since this card lets you do it anyway, it’s okay to mix the cards up while you’re picking randomly.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If you have multiple cards in your graveyard with the same name, and one of them is being targeted by another spell on the stack or enchanted (with Spellweaver Volute, for example), you must differentiate them so you know which one (if any) is chosen at random. In that case, it may be better to use dice to choose a card at random, or temporarily use a proxy card to represent the targeted card.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Except for the card that you return to your hand, reordering your graveyard won’t affect anything that’s currently targeting or enchanting a card in your graveyard. Whatever it is will be able to track the card it’s targeting or enchanting as your graveyard is reordered.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    All players get to see which card you chose at random.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
