Carte Magic Gatherer of Graces

Gatherer of Graces 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

This creature gets +1/+1 for each Aura attached to it. Sacrifice an Aura: Regenerate this creature.

How it works : Gatherer of Graces

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    The Aura you sacrifice doesn't have to be attached to Gatherer of Graces.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If Gatherer of Graces already has damage on it equal to its toughness minus 1, then sacrificing an Aura attached to it results in Gatherer of Graces being put into its owner's graveyard before the ability that would regenerate it resolves.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
