Carte Magic Wave of Terror

Wave of Terror 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

Cumulative upkeep {1} (At the beginning of your upkeep, put an age counter on this permanent, then sacrifice it unless you pay its upkeep cost for each age counter on it.) At the beginning of your draw step, destroy each creature with mana value equal to the number of age counters on this enchantment. They can't be regenerated.

How it works : Wave of Terror

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    This destroys creatures with mana value exactly equal to the appropriate number, not equal to or less than that number.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If you don't pay the cumulative upkeep, you'll sacrifice Wave of Terror before your draw step begins. It won't destroy any creatures that turn.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Will not generally kill zero cost creatures because the age counters go on before the ability triggers. If would be possible if something like Power Conduit were removing counters.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
