Carte Magic Realm-Scorcher Hellkite

Realm-Scorcher Hellkite 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

Bargain (You may sacrifice an artifact, enchantment, or token as you cast this spell.) Flying, haste When this creature enters, if it was bargained, add four mana in any combination of colors. {1}{R}: This creature deals 1 damage to any target.

How it works : Realm-Scorcher Hellkite

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Bargain means "As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may sacrifice an artifact, enchantment, or token."

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Bargain represents an optional additional cost. A spell cast with that additional cost paid is "bargained."

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    You may sacrifice only one artifact, enchantment, or token to pay a spell's bargain cost.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    If you copy a bargained spell, the copy is also bargained. If a card or token enters the battlefield as a copy of a permanent that's already on the battlefield, the new permanent isn't bargained, even if the original was.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    Some instant and sorcery spells require additional targets if they're bargained. You ignore those targeting requirements if those spells aren't bargained, and you can't bargain those spells unless you can choose the appropriate targets. On the other hand, you can bargain a permanent spell even if you won't be able to choose targets for an enters-the-battlefield ability of that permanent once the spell resolves.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
