Problematic Volcano 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
When Problematic Volcano enters, it deals 4 damage to any target. Then, starting with you, each player assigns their creatures to the left or right of the volcano. Creatures enter to the left or right of the volcano. Creatures can't block creatures on the other side of the volcano.
How it works : Problematic Volcano
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
While choosing sides for their creatures, each player will know the choices made by players before them.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
The designation of left or right matters only for one Problematic Volcano. If another enters the battlefield, the designations for the first won’t matter.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
Problematic Volcano affects only the declaration of blockers. Creatures can still be put onto the battlefield blocking creatures on the other side, abilities of creatures can target creatures on the other side, and so on.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
If a creature somehow has no side chosen for it (perhaps because it’s not normally a creature but becomes one temporarily, or because Problematic Volcano’s enters-the-battlefield ability didn’t resolve) it can block and be blocked by creatures on either side.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #5· Wizards of the Coast
If two or more permanents with the world supertype are on the battlefield, all but the most recent one are put into their owners’ graveyards. In case of a tie, all are put into their owners’ graveyards.
No other card is named in this ruling.
