Carte Magic Psionic Snoop

Psionic Snoop 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

Flash When this creature enters, it connives. (Draw a card, then discard a card. If you discarded a nonland card, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.)

How it works : Psionic Snoop

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Once an ability that causes a creature to connive begins to resolve, no player may take any other actions until it's done. Notably, opponents can't try to remove the conniving creature after you discard a nonland card but before it receives a counter.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If no card is discarded, most likely because that player's hand is empty and an effect says they can't draw cards, the conniving creature does not receive a +1/+1 counter.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If a resolving spell or ability instructs a specific creature to connive but that creature has left the battlefield, the creature still connives. If you discard a nonland card this way, you won't put a +1/+1 counter on anything. Abilities that trigger “when [that creature] connives” will trigger.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
