Pain Seer Rules Text & Legality

Pain Seer

Inspired — Whenever this creature becomes untapped, reveal the top card of your library and put that card into your hand. You lose life equal to that card's mana value.

Every twitching nerve and pulsing vein carries a message, discernible with the right tools.

Pain Seer is legal in Pioneer, Modern, Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Standard and Pauper.

Pain Seer Rulings

  • Feb 1, 2014

    If an inspired ability triggers during your untap step, the ability will be put on the stack at the beginning of your upkeep. If the ability creates one or more token creatures, those creatures won't be able to attack that turn (unless they gain haste).

  • Feb 1, 2014

    If the inspired ability includes an optional cost, you decide whether to pay that cost as the ability resolves. You can do this even if the creature leaves the battlefield in response to the ability.

  • Feb 1, 2014

    If the mana cost of the revealed card includes {X}, X is considered to be 0.

  • Feb 1, 2014

    If the revealed card doesn't have a mana cost (because it's a land card, for example), its mana value is 0.

  • Feb 1, 2014

    Inspired abilities don't trigger when the creature enters the battlefield.
