Mordenkainen 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

You get an emblem with "You have no maximum hand size."
How it works : Mordenkainen
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
The power and toughness of the Dog Illusion token will change as the number of cards in your hand changes.
Card named in this ruling
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
The cards put into your hand due to Mordenkainen's last ability aren't "drawn." Anything that cares about you drawing cards won't notice your hand suddenly becoming very, very well-stocked.
No other card is named in this ruling.
