Carte Magic Mephitic Vapors

Mephitic Vapors 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

All creatures get -1/-1 until end of turn. Surveil 2. (Look at the top two cards of your library, then put any number of them into your graveyard and the rest on top of your library in any order.)

How it works : Mephitic Vapors

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    You perform the actions stated on a card in sequence. For some spells and abilities, you'll surveil last. For others, you'll surveil and then perform other actions.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    When you surveil, you may put all the cards you look at back on top of your library, you may put all of those cards into your graveyard, or you may put some of those cards on top and the rest of them into your graveyard.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Creatures that are going to die after getting -1/-1 will still be on the battlefield while you surveil. They won't be put into their owners' graveyards until after Mephitic Vapors is entirely finished resolving. If any of their abilities trigger on surveilling, those abilities will trigger but won't resolve until after the creatures have left the battlefield.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    Mephitic Vapors affects only creatures on the battlefield at the time it resolves. Creatures that enter the battlefield later in the turn won't get -1/-1.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
