Carte Magic Rasputin Dreamweaver

Rasputin Dreamweaver 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

Rasputin enters with seven dream counters on it. Remove a dream counter from Rasputin: Add {C}. Remove a dream counter from Rasputin: Prevent the next 1 damage that would be dealt to Rasputin this turn. At the beginning of your upkeep, if Rasputin started the turn untapped, put a dream counter on it. Rasputin can't have more than seven dream counters on it.

How it works : Rasputin Dreamweaver

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    The fourth ability has an "intervening 'if' clause," so it won't trigger at all unless Rasputin Dreamweaver started the turn untapped.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If a number of dream counters would be put on Rasputin Dreamweaver for any reason that would bring the total number of dream counters on it to eight or more, the total number of dream counters on it is brought to seven instead.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If a permanent with eight or more dream counters on it becomes a copy of Rasputin Dreamweaver (or just gains its last ability), all dream counters except seven are removed from it as a state-based action.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
