Tidings of War Rules Text & Legality

Tidings of War

Amass Goblins 1. If this spell was cast from a graveyard, amass Goblins 3 instead. (To amass Goblins X, put X +1/+1 counters on an Army you control. It's also a Goblin. If you don't control an Army, create a 0/0 black Goblin Army creature token first.)

Flashback {3}{R} (You may cast this card from your graveyard for its flashback cost. Then exile it.)

Tidings of War is legal in Standard, Pioneer, Modern, Legacy, Commander and Pauper.

Tidings of War Rulings

  • Jun 29, 2026

    "Flashback [cost]" means "You may cast this card from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost" and "If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack."

  • Jun 29, 2026

    A spell cast using flashback will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, is countered, or leaves the stack in some other way.

  • Jun 29, 2026

    Amass Orcs works the same way, except you create a 0/0 black Orc Army creature token if you don't control an Army. And if the Army creature you chose isn't already an Orc, it becomes an Orc in addition to its other types. By combining cards with amass Orcs and amass Goblins, you can end up with a Goblin Orc Army.

  • Jun 29, 2026

    If a card with flashback is put into your graveyard during your turn, you can cast it if it's legal to do so before any other player can take any actions.

  • Jun 29, 2026

    If you don't control an Army, the Goblin Army token you create enters the battlefield as a 0/0 creature before receiving counters. Any abilities that trigger when a creature with a certain power enters the battlefield, such as that of Mentor of the Meek, will see the token enter as a 0/0 creature before it gets +1/+1 counters.
