How it works : Lantern of Insight

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    The top card of your library isn't in your hand, so you can't suspend it, cycle it, discard it, or activate any of its activated abilities.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If the top card of your library changes while you're casting a spell, playing a land, or activating an ability, the new top card won't be revealed until you finish doing so.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    When playing with the top card of your library revealed, if an effect tells you to draw several cards, reveal each one before you draw it.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
