Carte Magic Rooftop Storm

Rooftop Storm 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

You may pay {0} rather than pay the mana cost for Zombie creature spells you cast.

How it works : Rooftop Storm

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    You must still pay any mandatory additional costs, such as exiling a creature card from your graveyard for Makeshift Mauler.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    The mana cost and mana value of the spell are unchanged. Rooftop Storm only changes what you pay.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
