Carte Magic Tiamat

Tiamat 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

Flying When Tiamat enters, if you cast it, search your library for up to five Dragon cards not named Tiamat that each have different names, reveal them, put them into your hand, then shuffle.

How it works : Tiamat

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Tiamat's enters-the-battlefield ability will trigger if you cast Tiamat from any zone, not just from your hand. Still thinking command zone over here.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    A Dragon card is a card with the creature type Dragon in its type line. A card that has “Dragon” in the name (such as Dragon's Disciple) isn't a Dragon card unless it also has the Dragon creature type.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
