Darkblast Rules Text & Legality
Target creature gets -1/-1 until end of turn.
Dredge 3 (If you would draw a card, you may mill three cards instead. If you do, return this card from your graveyard to your hand.)
Darkblast is legal in Modern, Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Standard, Pioneer and Pauper.
Darkblast Rulings
- Jan 12, 2024 Dredge can replace any card draw, not only the one during your draw step.
- Jan 12, 2024 If an effect puts a card into your hand without specifically using the word "draw," you're not drawing a card. Dredge can't replace this event.
- Jan 12, 2024 If you're drawing multiple cards, each draw is performed one at a time. For example, if you're instructed to draw two cards and you replace the first draw with a dredge ability, another card with a dredge ability (including one that was milled by the first dredge ability) may be used to replace the second draw.
- Jan 12, 2024 Once you've announced that you're applying a card's dredge ability to replace a draw, players can't take any actions until you've put that card into your hand and milled cards.
- Jan 12, 2024 One card draw can't be replaced by multiple dredge abilities.
