Worldfire 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

Exile all permanents. Exile all cards from all hands and graveyards. Each player's life total becomes 1.

How it works : Worldfire

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    These actions are performed in order, but no triggered abilities resolve in between them and no player may cast spells or activate abilities in between them. This means that if a permanent’s ability triggers on a player losing life, that permanent will be exiled first and won’t be on the battlefield when your life total becomes 1. Leaves-the-battlefield triggers won’t resolve until you’re done resolving Worldfire entirely.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If your life total is greater than 1 when Worldfire resolves, the change in life total will count as life loss. Other effects that interact with life loss will interact with this effect accordingly.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Worldfire won’t be exiled. It will go to your graveyard as the final part of its resolution.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
