Carte Magic Necratog

Necratog 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

Exile the top creature card of your graveyard: this creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn.

How it works : Necratog

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    The “top” card of your graveyard is the card that was put there most recently.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Players may not rearrange the cards in their graveyards. This is a little-known rule because new cards that care about graveyard order haven’t been printed in years.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If an effect or rule puts two or more cards into the same graveyard at the same time, the owner of those cards may arrange them in any order.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    The last thing that happens to a resolving instant or sorcery spell is that it’s put into its owner’s graveyard. —Example: You cast Wrath of God. All creatures on the battlefield are destroyed. You arrange all the cards put into your graveyard this way in any order you want. The other players in the game do the same to the cards that are put into their graveyards. Then you put Wrath of God into your graveyard, on top of the other cards.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    Say you’re the owner of both a permanent and an Aura that’s attached to it. If both the permanent and the Aura are destroyed at the same time (by Akroma’s Vengeance, for example), you decide the order they’re put into your graveyard. If just the enchanted permanent is destroyed, it’s put into your graveyard first. Then, after state-based actions are checked, the Aura (which is no longer attached to anything) is put into your graveyard on top of it.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
