Carte Magic Otherworldly Gaze

Otherworldly Gaze 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

Surveil 3. (Look at the top three cards of your library, then put any number of them into your graveyard and the rest on top of your library in any order.) Flashback {1}{U} (You may cast this card from your graveyard for its flashback cost. Then exile it.)

How it works : Otherworldly Gaze

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If a card with flashback is put into your graveyard during your turn, you can cast it if it's legal to do so before any other player can take any actions.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    You can cast a spell using flashback even if it was somehow put into your graveyard without having been cast.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    "Flashback [cost]" means "You may cast this card from your graveyard if the resulting spell is an instant or sorcery spell by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost" and "If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack."

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a flashback cost) you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    You must still follow any timing restrictions and permissions, including those based on the card's type. For instance, you can cast a sorcery using flashback only when you could normally cast a sorcery.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  6. #6· Wizards of the Coast

    A spell cast using flashback will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, is countered, or leaves the stack in some other way.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  7. #7· Wizards of the Coast

    When you surveil, you may put all the cards you look at back on top of your library, you may put all of those cards into your graveyard, or you may put some of those cards on top and the rest of them into your graveyard.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
