Carte Magic The Infamous Cruelclaw

The Infamous Cruelclaw 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

Menace Whenever The Infamous Cruelclaw deals combat damage to a player, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card. You may cast that card by discarding a card rather than paying its mana cost.

How it works : The Infamous Cruelclaw

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    You cast the exiled card while the ability is resolving and still on the stack. You can’t wait to cast it later in the turn. Timing restrictions based on the card’s type are ignored.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Since you are using an alternative cost to cast the spell, you can’t pay any other alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If the spell you cast has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    If you choose not to cast the exiled card, it remains in exile.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
