Carte Magic Scout's Warning

Scout's Warning 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

The next creature card you play this turn can be played as though it had flash. Draw a card.

How it works : Scout's Warning

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    After Scout's Warning resolves, you can suspend a creature card in your hand any time you can cast an instant. As soon as you actually cast a creature card, you lose this capability.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If you cast multiple Scout's Warnings on the same turn, they'll all apply to the very next creature spell you cast.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    You cannot use this effect to play Dryad Arbor during an opponent's turn.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    You don't choose a creature card when Scout's Warning resolves. Rather, this sets up a rule that is true for you until the turn ends or until you cast a creature card, even if you cast that creature at a time you normally could.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
