Whirlpool Whelm 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.
Official card text
Clash with an opponent, then return target creature to its owner's hand. If you win, you may put that creature on top of its owner's library instead. (Each clashing player reveals the top card of their library, then puts that card on their choice of the top or bottom. A player wins if their card had a greater mana value.)
How it works : Whirlpool Whelm
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
You choose the target when you play Whirlpool Whelm, not when you clash.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If you don't win the clash, the targeted creature always goes to its owner's hand. If you win the clash, you choose whether the creature goes to its owner's hand or the top of its owner's library.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
If you clash with the owner of the targeted creature and win, the owner of the creature decides where to put to card revealed during the clash before you decide whether to put the creature on top of that library. You know the player's decision before you make your decision.
No other card is named in this ruling.
