Carte Magic Scattering Stroke

Scattering Stroke 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

Counter target spell. Clash with an opponent. If you win, at the beginning of your next main phase, you may add an amount of {C} equal to that spell's mana value. (Each clashing player reveals the top card of their library, then puts that card on their choice of the top or bottom. A player wins if their card had a greater mana value.)

How it works : Scattering Stroke

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    You decide whether or not to add that much {C} as the delayed triggered ability resolves at the beginning of your next main phase. You don't decide before then.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    You can't add just some of the mana. You either add all the mana or none of it.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
