Carte Magic Garth One-Eye

Garth One-Eye 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

{T}: Choose a card name that hasn't been chosen from among Disenchant, Braingeyser, Terror, Shivan Dragon, Regrowth, and Black Lotus. Create a copy of the card with the chosen name. You may cast the copy. (You still pay its costs.)

How it works : Garth One-Eye

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Official card text for each card Garth One-Eye references can be found using the Gatherer card database at Gatherer.Wizards.com.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Resolving copies of permanent spells become tokens as they enter the battlefield. These tokens are not considered “created” when this happens.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    As Garth One-Eye's ability resolves, you must choose one of the listed card names. You may choose not to cast the copy created, but you won't be able choose that card name again later.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    Each Garth One-Eye keeps track of card names chosen for itself, but not for other Garth One-Eyes. (Garths One-Eye?) If Garth One-Eye leaves the battlefield and returns, or you control another copy of it, it won't remember the choices made during earlier activations. However, if another player gains control of Garth One-Eye, it will remember choices made for it.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    You must pay the costs for the chosen card, but you cast the copy as the ability resolves, which may not be a time that you could normally cast that card.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  6. #6· Wizards of the Coast

    If all choices have been named before, Garth's ability won't do anything when it resolves.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
