Carte Magic Oversimplify

Oversimplify 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 all creatures. Each player creates a 0/0 green and blue Fractal creature token and puts a number of +1/+1 counters on it equal to the total power of creatures they controlled that were exiled this way.

How it works : Oversimplify

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Oversimplify counts the total power of the creatures as they last existed on the battlefield, not the power of those cards in exile.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If a commander is exiled this way, its power will be counted along with the other creatures. Once Oversimplify finishes resolving, that commander's owner may move it to the command zone.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
