Carte Magic Mindspring Merfolk

Mindspring Merfolk 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

Exhaust — {X}{U}{U}, {T}: Draw X cards. Put a +1/+1 counter on each Merfolk creature you control. (Activate each exhaust ability only once.)

How it works : Mindspring Merfolk

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Exhaust abilities can be activated any time you could normally activate an ability.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If an exhaust ability of a permanent is activated, and then that permanent leaves the battlefield and returns to the battlefield, it becomes a new object so its exhaust ability can be activated again.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If an ability triggers whenever you activate an exhaust ability, that ability resolves before the exhaust ability resolves.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
