Jeskai Elder 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
Prowess (Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, this creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn.) Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, you may draw a card. If you do, discard a card.
How it works : Jeskai Elder
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
You draw a card and discard a card all while Jeskai Elder's ability is resolving. Nothing can happen between the two, and no player may choose to take actions.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Any spell you cast that doesn't have the type creature will cause prowess to trigger. If a spell has multiple types, and one of those types is creature (such as an artifact creature), casting it won't cause prowess to trigger. Playing a land also won't cause prowess to trigger.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
Prowess goes on the stack on top of the spell that caused it to trigger. It will resolve before that spell.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
Once it triggers, prowess isn't connected to the spell that caused it to trigger. If that spell is countered, prowess will still resolve.
No other card is named in this ruling.
