Carte Magic Glyph Keeper

Glyph Keeper 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

Flying Whenever this creature becomes the target of a spell or ability for the first time each turn, counter that spell or ability. Embalm {5}{U}{U} ({5}{U}{U}, Exile this card from your graveyard: Create a token that's a copy of it, except it's a white Zombie Sphinx with no mana cost. Embalm only as a sorcery.)

How it works : Glyph Keeper

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If a spell or ability puts a creature card with embalm into your graveyard during your main phase, you'll have priority immediately after that spell or ability resolves. You can activate the creature card's embalm ability before any player can exile it with an effect, such as that of Crook of Condemnation, if it's legal for you to do so.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Once you've activated an embalm ability, the card is immediately exiled. Opponents can't try to stop the ability by exiling the card with an effect such as that of Crook of Condemnation.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    For each card with embalm, a corresponding game play supplement token can be found in some Amonkhet booster packs. These supplements are not required to play with cards with embalm; you can use the same items to represent an embalmed token as you would any other token.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    The token copies exactly what was printed on the original card and nothing else. It doesn't copy any information about the object the card was before it was put into your graveyard.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    The token is a Zombie in addition to its other types and is white instead of its other colors. It has no mana cost, and thus its mana value is 0. These are copiable values of the token that other effects may copy.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
