Carte Magic Spellshift

Spellshift 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 instant or sorcery spell. Its controller reveals cards from the top of their library until they reveal an instant or sorcery card. That player may cast that card without paying its mana cost. Then the player shuffles.

How it works : Spellshift

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If the targeted spell can’t be countered, it remains on the stack and the rest of Spellshift’s effect continues to happen.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If the revealed instant or sorcery card isn’t cast, it gets shuffled back into the library.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If there are no instant or sorcery cards in the player’s library, the entire library is revealed and then shuffled.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
