Carte Magic Genesis Wave

Genesis Wave 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

Reveal the top X cards of your library. You may put any number of permanent cards with mana value X or less from among them onto the battlefield. Then put all cards revealed this way that weren't put onto the battlefield into your graveyard.

How it works : Genesis Wave

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If you have fewer than X cards in your library, you reveal all of them.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If a card in a player's library has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    A permanent card is an artifact, battle, creature, enchantment, land, or planeswalker card.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    If a permanent card in your library has no mana symbols in its upper right corner (because it's a land card, for example), its mana value is 0. Such cards can always be put onto the battlefield with Genesis Wave.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    You don't have to put permanent cards revealed this way onto the battlefield if you choose not to, regardless of their mana values.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  6. #6· Wizards of the Coast

    All of the permanents put onto the battlefield this way enter at the same time. If any have triggered abilities that trigger on something else entering, they'll see each other.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
