Touch the Spirit Realm 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

How it works : Touch the Spirit Realm

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If a double-faced card is exiled and returned to the battlefield with Touch the Spirit Realm or its channel ability, that card will return to the battlefield front-face up.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If Touch the Spirit Realm leaves the battlefield before its first ability resolves, the target permanent won't be exiled.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Auras attached to the exiled permanent will be put into their owners' graveyards. Any Equipment will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on the exiled permanent will cease to exist. When the card returns to the battlefield, it will be a new object with no connection to the card that was exiled.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    If a token is exiled this way, it will cease to exist and won't return to the battlefield.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    Discarding the card is part of the cost to activate a channel ability.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  6. #6· Wizards of the Coast

    If a channel ability requires a target, you may not activate it without a target just to discard the card.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
