Carte Magic Ranar the Ever-Watchful

Ranar the Ever-Watchful 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

Flying, vigilance The first card you foretell each turn costs {0} to foretell. Whenever one or more cards are put into exile from your hand or a spell or ability you control exiles one or more permanents from the battlefield, create a 1/1 white Spirit creature token with flying.

How it works : Ranar the Ever-Watchful

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Ranar has recieved an update to its Oracle text. Specifically, its triggered ability doesn't care which player is exiling cards and permanents. Cards put into exile from your hand for any reason, such as the foretell ability, cause the ability to trigger, and permanents exiled from the battlefield cause it to trigger if you controlled the spell or ability that exiled them.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    "The first card you foretell" refers to the first one you exile from your hand as part of the foretell special action. It doesn't refer to a foretold spell you cast from exile.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Ranar's triggered ability triggers only once for each time you exile cards from your hand or permanents from the battlefield, no matter how many objects were exiled at the same time.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    Ranar's triggered ability will trigger when a spell or ability you control exiles any permanent, including token permanents and permanents you don't control.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
