Carte Magic Void Attendant

Void Attendant 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

Devoid (This card has no color.) {1}{G}, Put a card an opponent owns from exile into that player's graveyard: Create a 1/1 colorless Eldrazi Scion creature token. It has "Sacrifice this token: Add {C}."

How it works : Void Attendant

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Once you announce that you're activating this ability, players can't respond until after you have paid its costs and completed activating it. Specifically, no one can try to remove the card from exile to stop you from activating the ability.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Cards with devoid use frames that are variations of the transparent frame traditionally used for Eldrazi. The top part of the card features some color over a background based on the texture of the hedrons that once imprisoned the Eldrazi. This coloration is intended to aid deckbuilding and game play.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    A card with devoid is just colorless. It's not colorless and the colors of mana in its mana cost.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    Other cards and abilities can give a card with devoid color. If that happens, it's just the new color, not that color and colorless.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    Devoid works in all zones, not just on the battlefield.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  6. #6· Wizards of the Coast

    If a card loses devoid, it will still be colorless. This is because effects that change an object's color (like the one created by devoid) are considered before the object loses devoid.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  7. #7· Wizards of the Coast

    If a spell or ability requires that you put more than one exiled card into the graveyard, you may choose cards owned by different opponents. Each card chosen will be put into its owner's graveyard.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  8. #8· Wizards of the Coast

    If a replacement effect will cause cards that would be put into a graveyard from anywhere to be exiled instead (such as the one created by Anafenza, the Foremost), you can still put an exiled card into its opponent's graveyard. The card becomes a new object and remains in exile. In this situation, you can't use a single exiled card if required to put more than one exiled card into the graveyard. Conversely, you could use the same card in this situation if two separate spells or abilities each required you to put a single exiled card into its owner's graveyard.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  9. #9· Wizards of the Coast

    You can't look at face-down cards in exile unless an effect allows you to.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  10. #10· Wizards of the Coast

    Face-down cards in exile are grouped using two criteria: what caused them to be exiled face down and when they were exiled face down. If you want to put a face-down card in exile into its owner's graveyard, you must first choose one of these groups and then choose a card from within that group at random. For example, say an artifact causes your opponent to exile their hand of three cards face down. Then on a later turn, that artifact causes your opponent to exile another two cards face down. If you use Wasteland Strangler to put one of those cards into their graveyard, you would pick the first or second pile and put a card chosen at random from that pile into the graveyard.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  11. #11· Wizards of the Coast

    Eldrazi Scions are similar to Eldrazi Spawn, seen in the Zendikar block. Note that Eldrazi Scions are 1/1, not 0/1.

    Card named in this ruling

  12. #12· Wizards of the Coast

    Eldrazi and Scion are each separate creature types. Anything that affects Eldrazi will affect these tokens, for example.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  13. #13· Wizards of the Coast

    Sacrificing an Eldrazi Scion creature token to add {C} is a mana ability. It doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to.

    Card named in this ruling

  14. #14· Wizards of the Coast

    Some instants and sorceries that create Eldrazi Scions require targets. If all targets for such a spell have become illegal by the time that spell tries to resolve, the spell won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won't get any Eldrazi Scions.
