Goblin Researcher 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.
Official card text
When this creature enters, exile the top card of your library. During any turn you attacked with this creature, you may play that card.
How it works : Goblin Researcher
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
The card Goblin Researcher exiles is exiled face up.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
You can play the exiled card if Goblin Researcher attacked and is still in combat, has left combat, has left the battlefield, or even if combat is over.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
If you control more than one card named Goblin Researcher, each one's effect is independent from the other. Specifically, attacking with one will not allow you to play the card exiled by the other.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
Goblin Researcher's effect doesn't change when you can play the exiled card. For example, if you exile a sorcery card, you can cast it only during your main phase when the stack is empty.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #5· Wizards of the Coast
If you exile a land card with Goblin Researcher's enters-the-battlefield ability, you may play that land only if you have any available land plays. Normally, this means you can play the land only if you haven't played a land yet that turn.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #6· Wizards of the Coast
Casting an exiled card causes it to leave exile. You can't cast it multiple times.
No other card is named in this ruling.
