Pattern of Rebirth 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

Enchant creature When enchanted creature dies, that creature's controller may search their library for a creature card, put that card onto the battlefield, then shuffle.

How it works : Pattern of Rebirth

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Searching for a creature card is optional.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Because the “search” requires you to find a card with certain characteristics, you don’t have to find the card if you don’t want to.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
