Carte Magic Intervene

Intervene 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

Counter target spell that targets a creature.

How it works : Intervene

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If a spell is modal, use the target(s) of the current mode only for this check. Targets for the other modes are never selected.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Intervene can only target a spell that is currently targeting a creature.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    It means “targeting at least one creature” not “exactly one creature”.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    If the spell’s target leaves the battlefield before this spell resolves, Intervene won’t resolve since it no longer targets a spell that targets a creature.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
