Carte Magic Neerdiv, Devious Diver

Neerdiv, Devious Diver 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

Whenever Neerdiv becomes tapped, target player mills cards equal to its power. Whenever you cast a spell from your graveyard or activate an ability of a card in your graveyard, draw a card and put a +1/+1 counter on Neerdiv.

How it works : Neerdiv, Devious Diver

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If Neerdiv leaves the battlefield while its first ability is still on the stack, use its power as it last existed on the battlefield to determine how many cards the target player mills.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Neerdiv's last ability resolves before the spell or ability that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell or ability is countered or otherwise leaves the stack without resolving.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
