Carte Magic Runic Repetition

Runic Repetition 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

Return target exiled card with flashback you own to your hand.

How it works : Runic Repetition

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    The card could have been exiled for any reason, not just because it was cast using flashback.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    An effect that gives flashback to an instant or sorcery card in your graveyard stops applying once that card has left the stack. The card won’t have flashback while exiled and can’t be the target of Runic Repetition (unless it naturally has flashback).

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    A card that’s exiled face down doesn’t have any characteristics or abilities, so it can’t be the target of Runic Repetition.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
