Carte Magic Sorcerer's Broom

Sorcerer's Broom 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 sacrifice another permanent, you may pay {3}. If you do, create a token that's a copy of this creature.

How it works : Sorcerer's Broom

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    The ability of Sorcerer's Broom is a triggered ability, not an activated ability. It doesn't allow you to sacrifice a permanent whenever you want; rather, you need some other way of sacrificing permanents, such as the activated ability of Food tokens.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If you sacrifice Sorcerer's Broom and another permanent at the same time, Sorcerer's Broom's ability triggers for that permanent.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    While resolving the triggered ability of Sorcerer's Broom, you can't pay {3} multiple times to create more than one token. However, if you control more than one Sorcerer's Broom, you can pay {3} for each of their abilities.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    The token will have Sorcerer's Broom's ability. It will also be able to create copies of itself.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    The token won't copy counters, Auras, or Equipment on Sorcerer's Broom, nor will it copy other effects that have changed Sorcerer's Broom's power, toughness, types, color, and so on. Normally, this means the token will simply be a Sorcerer's Broom, but if any copy effects have affected that Sorcerer's Broom, they're taken into account.

  6. #6· Wizards of the Coast

    If Sorcerer's Broom leaves the battlefield before its triggered ability resolves, the token will still enter the battlefield as a copy of Sorcerer's Broom, using Sorcerer's Broom's copiable values from when it was last on the battlefield.
