Prismatic Wardrobe 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
Destroy target nonartifact, nonland permanent that doesn't share a color with clothing worn by its controller.
Complete guide
Prismatic Wardrobe is a unique sorcery that brings your personal style directly into the game mechanics of Magic: The Gathering. By checking the real-world attire of your opponents, this card offers a flavor-filled way to remove threats based on their fashion choices.
How the Wardrobe Works
Prismatic Wardrobe targets a single nonartifact, nonland permanent. To successfully destroy that permanent, it must not share any colors with the physical clothing currently being worn by the person who controls that permanent. If the permanent is blue and its controller is wearing a blue shirt, the Wardrobe fails to destroy it.
Step-by-Step Resolution
First, you cast the spell and choose a legal target that is not a land or an artifact. Upon resolution, you check the colors of the target permanent against the colors of the clothing worn by its controller. If there is no overlap between the permanent's colors and the controller's clothing colors, the permanent is destroyed. This check happens only during resolution.
Common Fashion Mistakes
Players often forget that Prismatic Wardrobe cannot target artifacts or lands, even if they have colors. Additionally, because the check happens on resolution, an opponent might try to quickly put on a jacket or accessory to change their clothing colors while the spell is on the stack to save their permanent.
Strategic Timing
Since this is a sorcery, you must play it during your main phase when the stack is empty. It is best used against decks with multicolored permanents, as those targets are harder for an opponent to fully match with their outfit unless they are wearing a very colorful wardrobe.
Interaction examples
Open the Armory
Steelshaper's GiftIf your opponent uses Open the Armory or Steelshaper's Gift to find a powerful Equipment card, Prismatic Wardrobe cannot destroy that Equipment once it hits the battlefield because the Wardrobe explicitly excludes artifacts from its targeting profile.
You cast Prismatic Wardrobe targeting an opponent's green creature. If the opponent is wearing a black shirt and blue jeans, the creature shares no colors with their clothing and is destroyed. However, if they are wearing a green hat, the creature survives.
