Mirko, Obsessive Theorist 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.
Official card text
Flying, vigilance Whenever you surveil, put a +1/+1 counter on Mirko. At the beginning of your end step, you may return target creature card with power less than Mirko's from your graveyard to the battlefield with a finality counter on it. (If it would die, exile it instead.)
How it works : Mirko, Obsessive Theorist
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
An ability that triggers "whenever you surveil" triggers after you're done surveilling, even if you have fewer cards in your library than the number of cards you're instructed to surveil. It even triggers if you have no cards in your library.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Finality counters work on any permanent, not only creatures. If a permanent with a finality counter on it would go to a graveyard from the battlefield, exile it instead.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
Finality counters don't stop permanents from going to zones other than the graveyard from the battlefield. For example, if a permanent with a finality counter on it would be put into its owner's hand from the battlefield, it does so normally.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
Finality counters aren't keyword counters, and a finality counter doesn't give any abilities to the permanent it's on. If that permanent loses its abilities and then would go to a graveyard, it will still be exiled instead.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #5· Wizards of the Coast
Multiple finality counters on a single permanent are redundant.
No other card is named in this ruling.
