Carte Magic Pigment Storm

Pigment Storm 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

Pigment Storm deals 5 damage to target creature. Excess damage is dealt to that creature's controller instead.

How it works : Pigment Storm

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Excess damage has been dealt to a creature if the damage dealt to it is greater than lethal damage. Usually, this means damage greater than its toughness, although damage already marked on the creature is taken into account.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If the target creature is an illegal target by the time Pigment Storm tries to resolve, the spell won't resolve. It won't deal damage to any player.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Pigment Storm's replacement effect is a self-replacement effect. It is applied before any other replacement effects that would change the amount of damage dealt to the target creature and its controller.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
