Carte Magic Pyromancer's Swath

Pyromancer's Swath 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

If an instant or sorcery source you control would deal damage to a permanent or player, it deals that much damage plus 2 to that permanent or player instead. At the beginning of each end step, discard your hand.

How it works : Pyromancer's Swath

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Pyromancer’s Swath doesn’t change the source or recipient of the damage.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If all damage from a source is prevented (because of Pay No Heed, for example) or if a source would deal 0 damage, the effect of Pyromancer’s Swath will not apply as that source is no longer dealing damage.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If damage is being dealt to multiple creatures and/or players at the same time, the damage being dealt to each one is increased by 2.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
