Carte Magic Knight of Obligation

Knight of Obligation 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

Vigilance Extort (Whenever you cast a spell, you may pay {W/B}. If you do, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain that much life.)

How it works : Knight of Obligation

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    You may pay {W/B} a maximum of one time for each extort triggered ability. You decide whether to pay when the ability resolves.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    The amount of life you gain from extort is based on the total amount of life lost, not necessarily the number of opponents you have. For example, if your opponent's life total can't change (perhaps because that player controls Platinum Emperion), you won't gain any life.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    The extort ability doesn't target any player.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    The extort ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. The ability resolves even if that spell is countered.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
