Carte Magic Mister Negative

Mister Negative 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

Vigilance, lifelink Darkforce Inversion — When Mister Negative enters, you may exchange life totals with target opponent. If you lost life this way, draw that many cards.

How it works : Mister Negative

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If a player can't gain life, that player can't exchange life totals with a player with a higher life total. Similarly, a player who can't lose life can't exchange life totals with a player with a lower life total.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    When life totals are exchanged, each player gains or loses the amount of life necessary to equal the other player's life total. For example, if one player has 10 life and the other has 17 life, the first player gains 7 life and the other one loses 7 life. Replacement effects may modify these gains and losses, and triggered abilities may trigger on them.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
