Carte Magic Gavi, Nest Warden

Gavi, Nest Warden 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

You may pay {0} rather than pay the cycling cost of the first card you cycle each turn. Whenever you draw your second card each turn, create a 2/2 red and white Dinosaur Cat creature token.

How it works : Gavi, Nest Warden

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If a cycling cost includes {X} and you pay an alternative activation cost of {0} instead, X is 0.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Gavi’s first ability considers the entire turn. If you cycle a card then have Gavi come under your control, you can’t pay {0} to cycle your second card.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    The triggered ability can trigger only once each turn. It doesn’t matter Gavi was on the battlefield when the first card was drawn. If it’s not on the battlefield when the second card is drawn, the ability can’t trigger at all that turn. It won’t trigger when the third or fourth card is drawn.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    If a spell or ability causes you to put cards into your hand without specifically using the word “draw,” it’s not a card drawn.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
