Carte Magic Search Elemental

Search Elemental 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

Whenever you search your library, scry 1. Scryfall — Whenever you scry, put a +1/+1 counter on Search Elemental. It can't be blocked this turn.

How it works : Search Elemental

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Search Elemental’s first ability won’t be put onto the stack until after the spell or ability that caused you to search your library finishes resolving.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Search Elemental’s second ability won’t be put onto the stack until after the spell or ability that caused you to scry finishes resolving.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Search Elemental doesn’t have a third ability as far as we can tell, but feel free to keep looking.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    Playtest cards aren’t legal for play in any tournament format other than Mystery Booster Limited formats. On the other hand, we expect they will spice up a wide variety of non-tournament games (as long as everyone’s on the same page about using them!).

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    Playtest cards use a modified version of game symbols, such as {T} and {W}. These modified symbols should be treated as the standard symbols during play.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  6. #6· Wizards of the Coast

    For many playtest cards, you’ll need to make a generous assumption that basic game rules would be updated to allow them to work. The Mystery Booster 2 Playtest Card Notes section (reproduced here in individual Gatherer rulings) provides guidance for fitting these cards into the existing rules structure.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
