Persistent Petitioners 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.
Official card text
,
: Target player mills a card. (They put the top card of their library into their graveyard.) Tap four untapped Advisors you control: Target player mills twelve cards. A deck can have any number of cards named Persistent Petitioners.
How it works : Persistent Petitioners
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Advisors that you haven't controlled continuously since your turn began may be tapped to pay for the second ability of Persistent Petitioners. This includes Persistent Petitioners itself on the turn it comes under your control.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
It's not possible to tap one Persistent Petitioners to activate both its first and second ability, or to activate its second ability and that of another Persistent Petitioners. This means that if you tap four Persistent Petitioners, the target player mills the top twelve cards of their library, not the top forty-eight.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
The last ability of Persistent Petitioners lets you ignore the "four-of" rule. It doesn't let you ignore format legality. For example, during a Ravnica Remastered Limited event, you can't add Persistent Petitioners from your personal collection, no matter how much they ask.
No other card is named in this ruling.
