Carte Magic Unhallowed Pact

Unhallowed Pact 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

Enchant creature When enchanted creature dies, return that card to the battlefield under your control.

How it works : Unhallowed Pact

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    The card will return to the battlefield under your control only if it’s still in the graveyard when Unhallowed Pact’s ability resolves. If it’s not (perhaps because an ability like undying has already returned it to the battlefield), nothing happens.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If Unhallowed Pact is enchanting a token creature, that creature can’t return to the battlefield.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
