Carte Magic Possibility Storm

Possibility 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

Whenever a player casts a spell from their hand, that player exiles it, then exiles cards from the top of their library until they exile a card that shares a card type with it. That player may cast that card without paying its mana cost. Then they put all cards exiled with this enchantment on the bottom of their library in a random order.

How it works : Possibility Storm

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Artifact, battle, creature, enchantment, instant, kindred, land, planeswalker, and sorcery are card types. Two cards share a card type if they have at least one card type in common.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    The original spell is part of the group of exiled cards put on the bottom of the library in a random order. If the exiled card that shared a card type with that card wasn't cast, it's also part of this group.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If Possibility Storm's ability doesn't exile the original spell (perhaps because another Possibility Storm already exiled it), you'll still exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a card that shares a card type with it and have the opportunity to cast that spell.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    If you cast a spell without paying its mana cost, you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs, such as overload costs. You can pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    If the spell you cast from exile has X in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as its value.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  6. #6· Wizards of the Coast

    Instant and sorcery cards with miracle allow a player to cast a card immediately upon drawing it. If a player casts a spell this way, the spell is cast from that player's hand. Possibility Storm will trigger.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
