Carte Magic Ruthless Disposal

Ruthless Disposal 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

As an additional cost to cast this spell, discard a card and sacrifice a creature. Two target creatures each get -13/-13 until end of turn.

How it works : Ruthless Disposal

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Discarding a card and sacrificing a creature are both part of Ruthless Disposal’s cost. You can’t discard or sacrifice more to target more creatures, and you can’t cast Ruthless Disposal at all if you don’t have any other cards in hand or if you control no creatures.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    There’s no way to discard a creature card with madness, cast it, and sacrifice it to pay for both of Ruthless Disposal’s additional costs.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Once you begin to cast Ruthless Disposal, no player may take actions until you’re done. Notably, opponents can’t try to remove the creature you wish to sacrifice.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    You must target exactly two creatures to cast Ruthless Disposal. However, one of the targets can be the creature you intend to sacrifice to pay Ruthless Disposal’s cost.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    If one targeted creature becomes an illegal target, the other will still get -13/-13 until end of turn.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  6. #6· Wizards of the Coast

    You can’t target one creature twice to give it -26/-26.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
