Carte Magic Plargg, Dean of Chaos // Augusta, Dean of Order

Plargg, Dean of Chaos // Augusta, Dean of Order 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

{T}, Discard a card: Draw a card. {4}{R}, {T}: Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a nonlegendary, nonland card with mana value 3 or less. You may cast that card without paying its mana cost. Put all revealed cards not cast this way on the bottom of your library in a random order. Other tapped creatures you control get +1/+0. Other untapped creatures you control get +0/+1. Whenever you attack, untap each creature you control, then tap any number of creatures you control.

How it works : Plargg, Dean of Chaos // Augusta, Dean of Order

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Plargg, Dean of Chaos’s second ability allows you to cast the spell during that ability’s resolution, ignoring its normal timing restrictions.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Despite the term “other tapped creatures,” Augusta’s first ability doesn’t care whether Augusta is tapped or untapped. The same is true for the second ability. Both abilities apply as long as Augusta is on the battlefield.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Augusta’s last ability triggers whenever you attack with any creatures, even if you didn’t attack with Augusta.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    Augusta’s last ability untaps all creatures you control, not just the ones that attacked this turn. Then you choose which creatures to tap, if any.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    Untapping an attacking creature doesn’t remove it from combat. It’s still attacking normally.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
