Carte Magic Minamo

Minamo 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

Whenever a player casts a spell, that player may draw a card. Whenever chaos ensues, each player may return a blue card from their graveyard to their hand.

How it works : Minamo

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    A plane card is treated as if its text box included "When you roll {PW}, put this card on the bottom of its owner's planar deck face down, then move the top card of your planar deck off that planar deck and turn it face up." This is called the "planeswalking ability."

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    A face-up plane card that's turned face down becomes a new object with no relation to its previous existence. In particular, it loses all counters it may have had.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    The controller of a face-up plane card is the player designated as the "planar controller." Normally, the planar controller is whoever the active player is. However, if the current planar controller would leave the game, instead the next player in turn order that wouldn't leave the game becomes the planar controller, then the old planar controller leaves the game. The new planar controller retains that designation until they leave the game or a different player becomes the active player, whichever comes first.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    If an ability of a plane refers to "you," it's referring to whoever the plane's controller is at the time, not to the player that started the game with that plane card in their deck. Many abilities of plane cards affect all players, while many others affect only the planar controller, so read each ability carefully.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    Minamo's first ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  6. #6· Wizards of the Coast

    The chaos ability doesn't target the cards it will return, so they're not chosen until resolution. As the ability resolves, first the active player may choose a blue card in their graveyard, then each other player in turn order does the same, then all cards chosen this way are returned to their owners' hands. Once a card is chosen, it's too late for players to respond.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
