Carte Magic Sinister Sabotage

Sinister Sabotage 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. Surveil 1. (Look at the top card of your library. You may put it into your graveyard.)

How it works : Sinister Sabotage

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    You perform the actions stated on a card in sequence. For some spells and abilities, you'll surveil last. For others, you'll surveil and then perform other actions.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Some spells that instruct you to surveil require targets. You can't cast a spell without choosing legal targets. If all of those targets become illegal, the spell doesn't resolve and you won't surveil.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    A spell that can't be countered is a legal target for Sinister Sabotage. The spell won't be countered when Sinister Sabotage resolves, but you'll still surveil 1.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
