Carte Magic Mystic Redaction

Mystic Redaction 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

At the beginning of your upkeep, scry 1. Whenever you discard a card, each opponent mills two cards. (They put the top two cards of their library into their graveyard.)

How it works : Mystic Redaction

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If Mystic Redaction's last ability triggers during the cleanup step because you are discarding due to maximum hand size, players will be able to respond to that ability. Then, when all players have passed priority in succession with the stack empty, a new cleanup step will occur.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    The ability that defines Necrogoyf's power works in all zones, not just the battlefield. If Necrogoyf is in a graveyard, that ability will count itself.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
