Carte Magic Twilight Diviner

Twilight Diviner 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

When this creature enters, surveil 2. (Look at the top two cards of your library, then put any number of them into your graveyard and the rest on top of your library in any order.) Whenever one or more other creatures you control enter, if they entered or were cast from a graveyard, create a token that's a copy of one of them. This ability triggers only once each turn.

How it works : Twilight Diviner

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    The token created by Twilight Diviner's last ability copies exactly what was printed on the original permanent and nothing else (unless that permanent is copying something else; see below). It doesn't copy whether that permanent is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras and Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If the copied creature is copying something else, then the token enters as whatever that creature copied.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Any enters abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters. Any "as [this creature] enters" or "[this creature] enters with" abilities of the copied permanent will also work.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    If the copied creature has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
