The Maelstrom (Planechase Planes #23)

Der Mahlstrom

Welt — Alara

Wenn du zum Mahlstrom weltenwanderst oder zu Beginn deines Versorgungssegments kannst du die oberste Karte deiner Bibliothek offen vorzeigen. Falls es eine bleibende Karte ist, kannst du sie ins Spiel bringen. Lege die Karte sonst unter deine Bibliothek.

Immer wenn du chaos würfelst, bringe eine bleibende Karte deiner Wahl aus deinem Friedhof ins Spiel zurück.

Notes and Rules Information for Der Mahlstrom:
  • Only the English version of a Magic card receives Oracle updates and errata. View this card in English. (Scryfall note)
  • A plane card is treated as if its text box included “When you roll {PW}, put this card on the bottom of its owner’s planar deck face down, then move the top card of your planar deck off that planar deck and turn it face up.” This is called the “planeswalking ability.” (2009-10-01)
  • A face-up plane card that’s turned face down becomes a new object with no relation to its previous existence. In particular, it loses all counters it may have had. (2009-10-01)
  • The controller of a face-up plane card is the player designated as the “planar controller.” Normally, the planar controller is whoever the active player is. However, if the current planar controller would leave the game, instead the next player in turn order that wouldn’t leave the game becomes the planar controller, then the old planar controller leaves the game. The new planar controller retains that designation until they leave the game or a different player becomes the active player, whichever comes first. (2009-10-01)
  • If an ability of a plane refers to “you,” it’s referring to whoever the plane’s controller is at the time, not to the player that started the game with that plane card in their deck. Many abilities of plane cards affect all players, while many others affect only the planar controller, so read each ability carefully. (2009-10-01)
  • A permanent card is an artifact, creature, enchantment, land, or planeswalker card. (2009-10-01)
  • As The Maelstrom’s first ability resolves, you choose whether or not to reveal the top card of your library. If you reveal it and it’s a permanent card, you have two choices: Put it onto the battlefield, or put it on the bottom of your library. It can’t remain on top of your library. On the other hand, if you reveal it and it’s an instant or sorcery card, it must be put on the bottom of your library. There is no way you can leave a card revealed this way on top of your library. (2009-10-01)
  • If you reveal a permanent card that can’t enter the battlefield (because it’s an Aura and there’s nothing it can enchant, for example), then you must put it on the bottom of your library. (2009-10-01)
