Purging Stormbrood // Absorb Essence Rulings
5 most recent
- Apr 4, 2025 An omen card is a creature card in every zone except the stack, as well as while on the stack if not cast as an Omen. Ignore its alternative characteristics in those cases. For example, while it’s in your graveyard, Twinmaw Stormbrood is a white creature card whose mana value is 6. It can’t be the target of the reflexive ability created by Kishla Trawlers’s triggered ability (“…When you do, return target instant or sorcery card from your graveyard to your hand.”).
- Apr 4, 2025 As a player casts an omen card, the player chooses whether they cast the card normally or as an Omen.
- Apr 4, 2025 Casting a card as an Omen isn’t casting it for an alternative cost. Effects that allow you to cast a spell for an alternative cost or without paying its mana cost may allow you to apply those to the Omen.
- Apr 4, 2025 If a spell is cast as an Omen, its controller shuffles it into its owner’s library instead of putting it into its owner’s graveyard as it resolves.
- Apr 4, 2025 If an Omen spell has one or more targets and all of those targets are illegal when the spell tries to resolve, it won’t resolve. None of its effects will happen, and it will be put into its owner’s graveyard. It won’t be shuffled into its owner’s library.
