Carte Magic Memory Vessel

Memory Vessel 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

{T}, Exile this artifact: Each player exiles the top seven cards of their library. Until your next turn, players may play cards they exiled this way, and they can't play cards from their hand. Activate only as a sorcery.

How it works : Memory Vessel

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Memory Vessel has received a minor update to its Oracle text to clarify that players can play only cards they exiled from their library during the effect of the activated ability, not the Memory Vessel that was exiled to activate the ability.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Players pay all costs and follow all normal timing rules for cards played from exile with Memory Vessel's ability. For example, if an exiled card is a land card, its owner may play it only during their main phase while the stack is empty.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Players may still play cards from zones other than their hand if something would allow them to do so.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
