Carte Magic Pyrrhic Revival

Pyrrhic Revival 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

Each player returns each creature card from their graveyard to the battlefield with an additional -1/-1 counter on it.

How it works : Pyrrhic Revival

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Pyrrhic Revival can cause creatures to be put onto the battlefield that have 0 toughness due to the -1/-1 counter from this effect. Those creatures are put right back into their owners' graveyards as a state-based action. No spells or abilities that would remove counters or otherwise affect those creatures can be cast or activated before that happens. Still, the creatures did momentarily pop onto the battlefield, so any relevant triggered abilities (including their own "enters" or leaves-the-battlefield abilities) will trigger. They'll be put on the stack after state-based actions are checked.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
