Carte Magic Riptide Chimera

Riptide Chimera 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.

Official card text

Flying At the beginning of your upkeep, return an enchantment you control to its owner's hand.

How it works : Riptide Chimera

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If Riptide Chimera is the only enchantment you control when its ability resolves, you must return it to its owner's hand.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If you control no enchantments when Riptide Chimera's ability resolves (perhaps because Riptide Chimera stops being an enchantment for some reason), then nothing happens.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
