Carte Magic Isildur's Fateful Strike

Isildur's Fateful Strike 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

(You may cast a legendary instant only if you control a legendary creature or planeswalker.) Destroy target creature. If its controller has more than four cards in hand, they exile cards from their hand equal to the difference.

How it works : Isildur's Fateful Strike

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Isildur's Fateful Strike is the first legendary instant. It is subject to the same casting restrictions as existing legendary sorceries, as listed in the following rulings.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    You can't cast a legendary instant unless you control a legendary creature or a legendary planeswalker. Once you begin to cast a legendary instant, losing control of your legendary creatures and planeswalkers won't affect that spell.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Other than the casting restriction, the legendary supertype on an instant carries no additional rules. You may cast any number of legendary instants in a turn, and your deck may contain any number of legendary cards (but no more than four of any with the same name).

    No other card is named in this ruling.
