Carte Magic Wishing Well

Wishing Well 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

{T}: Put a coin counter on this artifact. When you do, you may cast target instant or sorcery card with mana value equal to the number of coin counters on this artifact from your graveyard without paying its mana cost. If that spell would be put into your graveyard, exile it instead. Activate only as a sorcery.

How it works : Wishing Well

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    You cast the instant or sorcery while the ability is resolving and still on the stack. You can’t wait to cast it later in the turn. Timing restrictions based on the card’s type are ignored.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Since you are using an alternative cost to cast the spell, you can’t pay any other alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If the spell you cast has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
