Carte Magic Realm Seekers

Realm Seekers 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

This creature enters with X +1/+1 counters on it, where X is the total number of cards in all players' hands. {2}{G}, Remove a +1/+1 counter from this creature: Search your library for a land card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle.

How it works : Realm Seekers

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If Realm Seekers enters the battlefield directly from a player's hand without being cast, it counts itself when determining the value of X.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    The value of X is determined as Realm Seekers enters the battlefield. Players can cast spells and activate abilities while Realm Seekers is on the stack to remove cards from their hands if they wish, and this will result in fewer counters being placed on Realm Seekers as it enters the battlefield.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
