Carte Magic Song of Creation

Song of Creation 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

You may play an additional land on each of your turns. Whenever you cast a spell, draw two cards. At the beginning of your end step, discard your hand.

How it works : Song of Creation

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Song of Creation’s first ability is cumulative if you control more than one. It’s also cumulative with other effects that let you play additional lands, such as the one from Dryad of the Ilysian Grove.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    An ability that triggers when a player casts a spell resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Song of Creation’s second ability doesn’t trigger when you cast it because it’s not on the battlefield yet.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    Players can cast spells and activate abilities after the first triggered ability resolves but before the spell that caused it to trigger does.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
