Lorehold, the Historian Rulings

5 most recent
  • Mar 20, 2026 If an effect puts a card into your hand without using the word "draw," the card wasn't drawn.
  • Mar 20, 2026 If the card with miracle leaves your hand before the triggered ability resolves, you won't be able to cast it using its miracle ability.
  • Mar 20, 2026 It's important to reveal a card with miracle before it is mixed with the other cards in your hand.
  • Mar 20, 2026 Miracle is an alternative cost to cast the spell with miracle. It can't be combined with other alternative costs, such as casting a spell "without paying its mana cost." You may, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast the spell.
  • Mar 20, 2026 Multiple card draws are always treated as a sequence of individual card draws. For example, if you haven't drawn any cards yet during a turn and cast a spell that instructs you to draw three cards, you'll draw them one at a time. Only the first card drawn this way may be revealed and cast using its miracle ability.
