Carte Magic Parting Thoughts

Parting Thoughts 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

Destroy target creature. You draw X cards and you lose X life, where X is the number of counters on that creature.

How it works : Parting Thoughts

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Parting Thoughts can target a creature without any counters on it. You’ll lose no life and draw no cards.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Parting Thoughts counts every kind of counter on that creature. Effects such as that of Giant Growth, Auras, and Equipment aren’t counters.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If a creature has +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters on it, state-based actions remove the same number of each so that it has only one of those kinds of counters on it. There won’t be any counters of the other kind for Parting Thoughts to count.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
