Microscope 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}: Surveil 1. {T}: Target permanent card in a graveyard becomes a 0/0 black Germ creature in addition to its other colors and types until end of turn. (This effect ends if it leaves the graveyard.)

How it works : Microscope

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Playtest cards use a modified version of game symbols, such as {T} and {W}. These modified symbols should be treated as the standard symbols during play.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Playtest cards aren’t legal for play in any tournament format other than Mystery Booster Limited formats. On the other hand, we expect they will spice up a wide variety of non-tournament games (as long as everyone’s on the same page about using them!).

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    For many playtest cards, you’ll need to make a generous assumption that basic game rules would be updated to allow them to work. The Mystery Booster 2 Playtest Card Notes section (reproduced here in individual Gatherer rulings) provides guidance for fitting these cards into the existing rules structure.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
