Narset of the Ancient Way Rulings
5 most recent
- Apr 17, 2020 An ability that triggers when a player casts a spell resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.
- Apr 17, 2020 Because it's a loyalty ability, Narset's first ability isn't a mana ability. It can be activated only any time you could cast a sorcery. It uses the stack and can be responded to.
- Apr 17, 2020 If a card you discard has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
- Apr 17, 2020 Narset's second ability goes on the stack without a target. While that ability is resolving, you draw a card and may choose to discard a card. When you discard a nonland card this way, the reflexive triggered ability triggers and you pick a target to be dealt damage. This is different from effects that say "If you do . . ." in that you choose a target after looking at the card you draw and players can respond to the reflexive triggered ability knowing how much damage will be dealt.
- Apr 17, 2020 The emblem created by Narset's last ability is colorless. The damage it deals is from a colorless source.
