Carte Magic Remembrance

Remembrance 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

Whenever a nontoken creature you control dies, you may search your library for a card with the same name as that creature, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle.

How it works : Remembrance

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If a card which is a creature only due to an effect goes to the graveyard, you can search for another copy of that card even though the card in your library won’t be a creature card.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If a copy card goes to the graveyard under this effect, you get to look for another copy of the card it was copying. This is because a copy card actually takes on the name and initial characteristics of what it copies.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Because the “search” requires you to find a card with certain characteristics, you don’t have to find the card if you don’t want to.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
