Goblin Researcher Rules Text & Legality

Goblin Researcher

When this creature enters, exile the top card of your library. During any turn you attacked with this creature, you may play that card.

Slonk was struck by lightning twenty-seven times before he got the idea. Another forty-three hits and he'd perfected it.

Goblin Researcher is legal in Legacy, Commander and Pauper, and not legal in Standard, Pioneer and Modern.

Goblin Researcher Rulings

  • Dec 2, 2022

    Casting an exiled card causes it to leave exile. You can't cast it multiple times.

  • Dec 2, 2022

    Goblin Researcher's effect doesn't change when you can play the exiled card. For example, if you exile a sorcery card, you can cast it only during your main phase when the stack is empty.

  • Dec 2, 2022

    If you control more than one card named Goblin Researcher, each one's effect is independent from the other. Specifically, attacking with one will not allow you to play the card exiled by the other.

  • Dec 2, 2022

    If you exile a land card with Goblin Researcher's enters-the-battlefield ability, you may play that land only if you have any available land plays. Normally, this means you can play the land only if you haven't played a land yet that turn.
