Carte Magic Sanar, Innovative First-Year

Sanar, Innovative First-Year 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

Vivid — At the beginning of your first main phase, reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal X nonland cards, where X is the number of colors among permanents you control. For each of those colors, you may exile a card of that color from among the revealed cards. Then shuffle. You may cast the exiled cards this turn.

How it works : Sanar, Innovative First-Year

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    The value of X is calculated only once, as Sanar's ability resolves.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Lands are normally colorless permanents, even if they tap for mana of a certain color.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    The colors are white, blue, black, red, and green. Colorless is not a color.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    You pay all costs and follow all timing rules for cards cast this way. For example, if an exiled card is a sorcery card, you may cast it only during your main phase while the stack is empty.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
