Carte Magic Orbital Plunge

Orbital Plunge 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

Orbital Plunge deals 6 damage to target creature. If excess damage was dealt this way, create a Lander token. (It's an artifact with "{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this token: Search your library for a basic land card, put it onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle.")

How it works : Orbital Plunge

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Excess damage has been dealt to a creature if the damage dealt to it is greater than lethal damage. Usually, this means damage greater than its toughness, although damage already marked on the creature is taken into account.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
