Carte Magic The Rollercrusher Ride

The Rollercrusher Ride 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

Delirium — If a source you control would deal noncombat damage to a permanent or player while there are four or more card types among cards in your graveyard, it deals double that damage instead. When The Rollercrusher Ride enters, it deals X damage to each of up to X target creatures.

How it works : The Rollercrusher Ride

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    The damage is dealt by the same source as the original source of damage. The doubled damage isn't dealt by The Rollercrusher Ride unless it was the original source of damage.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If another effect (or effects) modifies how much damage a source you control would deal while you have delirium—by preventing some of it, for example—the player being dealt damage or the controller of the permanent being dealt damage chooses the order in which any such effects apply. If all of the damage is prevented, the effect of The Rollercrusher Ride's first ability no longer applies.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If damage dealt by a source you control is being divided among multiple permanents and/or players while you have delirium, that damage is divided before doubling.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
