Selvala, Explorer Returned Rulings
4 most recent
- Aug 5, 2026 Selvala’s ability is not a mana ability. Players can respond to it, and it can’t be activated in the middle of paying for a cost. A recent update to rule 605.1a has made any abilities that move cards to or from libraries no longer mana abilities.
- May 29, 2014 Except in some very rare cases, the card each player draws will be the card revealed from the top of their library.
- May 29, 2014 If you activate Selvala's ability while casting a spell, and you discover you can't produce enough mana to pay that spell's costs, the spell is reversed. The spell returns to whatever zone you were casting it from. You may reverse other mana abilities you activated while casting the spell, but Selvala's ability can't be reversed. You'll still have whatever mana that ability produced, and each player will have drawn a card.
- May 29, 2014 Selvala's parley ability is a mana ability. It doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to.
