Carte Magic Repel the Darkness

Repel the Darkness 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

Tap up to two target creatures. Draw a card.

How it works : Repel the Darkness

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    You may target zero, one, or two creatures. The creatures don't need to be untapped.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If you target zero creatures, all that happens is you draw a card.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If you target one creature and that target is illegal as Repel the Darkness resolves, the spell doesn't resolve. You don't draw a card.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    If you target two creatures and they're both illegal as Repel the Darkness resolves, the spell doesn't resolve; you don't draw a card. If just one target is illegal, the spell does resolve; the remaining legal target becomes tapped (if it's untapped at that time) and you draw a card.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
