Carte Magic Illusionary Presence

Illusionary Presence 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

Cumulative upkeep {U} (At the beginning of your upkeep, put an age counter on this permanent, then sacrifice it unless you pay its upkeep cost for each age counter on it.) At the beginning of your upkeep, choose a land type. This creature gains landwalk of the chosen type until end of turn. (It can't be blocked as long as defending player controls a land of that type.)

How it works : Illusionary Presence

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Paying cumulative upkeep is always optional. If it's not paid, the permanent with cumulative upkeep is sacrificed. Partial payments of the total cumulative upkeep cost can't be made. For example, if a permanent with "cumulative upkeep {1}" has three age counters on it when its cumulative upkeep ability triggers, it gets another age counter and then its controller chooses to either pay {4} or sacrifice the permanent.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Can only give landwalk of land sub-types that exist (so you can no longer give "Island of Wak-Wak walk").

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Can't give Snow landwalk, because Snow is supertype, not a subtype.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
