Barren Moor

Barren Moor enters the battlefield tapped.
{T}: Add {B} to your mana pool.
Cycling {B} ({B}, Discard this card: Draw a card.)

Cycling is an activated ability. Effects that interact with activated abilities (such as Stifle or Rings of Brighthearth) will interact with cycling. Effects that interact with spells (such as Remove Soul or Faerie Tauntings) will not.

Barren Moor enters tapped.
{T}: Add {B}.
Cycling {B} ({B}, Discard this card: Draw a card.)

The only thing it likes more than discovering a pit of bones is adding to it.

Boneyard Wurm

Boneyard Wurm's power and toughness are each equal to the number of creature cards in your graveyard.

The ability that defines Boneyard Wurm’s power and toughness works in all zones, not just the battlefield. If Boneyard Wurm is in your graveyard, it will count itself.

Brain Weevil

Intimidate (This creature can't be blocked except by artifact creatures and/or creatures that share a color with it.)
Sacrifice Brain Weevil: Target player discards two cards. Activate this ability only any time you could cast a sorcery.

If you cast this as normal during your main phase, it will enter the battlefield and you’ll receive priority. If no abilities trigger because of this, you can activate its ability immediately, before any other player has a chance to remove it from the battlefield.

Intimidate (This creature can't be blocked except by artifact creatures and/or creatures that share a color with it.)
Sacrifice Brain Weevil: Target player discards two cards. Activate only as a sorcery.

The mizzium-sphere array drove her mind deep into the thought field, where only the rarest motes of genius may be plucked.

Brainstorm

Draw three cards, then put two cards from your hand on top of your library in any order.

You draw three cards and put two cards back all while Brainstorm is resolving. Nothing can happen between the two, and no player may choose to take actions.

On Bant, a sigil is both a prize of honor and a bond of duty. The one who bears it may be called to fulfill that charge at any moment.

Call to Heel

Return target creature to its owner's hand. Its controller draws a card.

If the targeted creature becomes an illegal target before Call to Heel resolves, Call to Heel doesn’t resolve. No one draws a card.

The player who draws a card is the player who controls the creature when Call to Heel resolves. This may not be the player whose hand the creature is put into.

Dakmor Salvage

Dakmor Salvage enters the battlefield tapped.
{T}: Add {B} to your mana pool.
Dredge 2 (If you would draw a card, instead you may put exactly two cards from the top of your library into your graveyard. If you do, return this card from your graveyard to your hand. Otherwise, draw a card.)

Dredge can replace any card draw, not only the one during your draw step.

If an effect puts a card into your hand without specifically using the word "draw," you're not drawing a card. Dredge can't replace this event.

If you're drawing multiple cards, each draw is performed one at a time. For example, if you're instructed to draw two cards and you replace the first draw with a dredge ability, another card with a dredge ability (including one that was milled by the first dredge ability) may be used to replace the second draw.

Once you've announced that you're applying a card's dredge ability to replace a draw, players can't take any actions until you've put that card into your hand and milled cards.

One card draw can't be replaced by multiple dredge abilities.

You can't attempt to use a dredge ability if you don't have enough cards in your library.

Dakmor Salvage enters tapped.
{T}: Add {B}.
Dredge 2 (If you would draw a card, you may mill two cards instead. If you do, return this card from your graveyard to your hand.)

"This abomination never belonged in our world. I'm merely setting it free."
—Dierk, geistmage

Dissipate

Counter target spell. If that spell is countered this way, exile it instead of putting it into its owner's graveyard.

If the spell is not countered (because the spell it targets can't be countered), then it does not get exiled.

The card does not go to the graveyard before being exiled.

Djinn Illuminatus

Flying
Each instant and sorcery spell you cast has replicate. The replicate cost is equal to its mana cost. (When you cast it, copy it for each time you paid its replicate cost. You may choose new targets for the copies.)

If you cast a spell that already has replicate while you have this creature on the battlefield, the spell will have two replicate abilities: one with a replicate cost as printed on it, and one with a replicate cost equal to its mana cost. (In this set, both costs are always the same.) You may use either ability, or both abilities, to replicate the spell.

If you cast an instant or sorcery spell that has {X} in its mana cost, the value of X in the spell's replicate cost will be the same as the value of X you chose for its mana cost.

({U/R} can be paid with either {U} or {R}.)
Flying
Each instant and sorcery spell you cast has replicate. The replicate cost is equal to its mana cost. (When you cast it, copy it for each time you paid its replicate cost. You may choose new targets for the copies.)

It eats and eats until the juiciest morsel it can find is itself.

Doomgape

Trample
At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice a creature. You gain life equal to that creature's toughness.

If you have no other creatures to sacrifice, you’ll have to sacrifice Doomgape itself. You’ll gain life equal to its toughness.

Dreg Mangler

Haste
Scavenge {3}{B}{G} ({3}{B}{G}, Exile this card from your graveyard: Put a number of +1/+1 counters equal to this card's power on target creature. Scavenge only as a sorcery.)

Exiling the creature card with scavenge is part of the cost of activating the scavenge ability. Once the ability is activated and the cost is paid, it’s too late to stop the ability from being activated by trying to remove the creature card from the graveyard.

Cast out of the Conclave generations ago, these elves found a home in the corrupted districts of the Golgari.

Elves of Deep Shadow

{T}: Add {B} to your mana pool. Elves of Deep Shadow deals 1 damage to you.

{T}: Add {B}. Elves of Deep Shadow deals 1 damage to you.

She remembers every word spoken, from the hero's oath to the baby's cry.

Eternal Witness

When Eternal Witness enters the battlefield, you may return target card from your graveyard to your hand.

If a resolving spell puts Eternal Witness onto the battlefield, Eternal Witness's ability can target that card if it's put into your graveyard as it resolves.

When Eternal Witness enters, you may return target card from your graveyard to your hand.

"The living cannot understand the benefits of death."

It chews open Mirrodin's husk and feeds on the outpouring of energy.

Galvanoth

At the beginning of your upkeep, you may look at the top card of your library. If it's an instant or sorcery card, you may cast it without paying its mana cost.

If the card has an X in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as its value.

If the card has any mandatory additional costs, as Kuldotha Rebirth does, you must pay them in order to cast the spell.

If the card you look at isn’t an instant or sorcery card, it remains on top of your library. You don’t reveal it.

You may pay additional costs, such as kicker costs, of the instant or sorcery card.

At the beginning of your upkeep, you may look at the top card of your library. You may cast it without paying its mana cost if it's an instant or sorcery spell.

"Diametrically opposing energies in self-sealed plasmodermic bubbles make great pets!"

Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, you may untap Gelectrode.

Mercadians not wealthy enough to buy a tomb are thrown into a bog called "the Ghoul's Larder."

Ghoul's Feast

Target creature gets +X/+0 until end of turn, where X is the number of creature cards in your graveyard.

Gleancrawler

Trample
At the beginning of your end step, return to your hand all creature cards in your graveyard that were put there from the battlefield this turn.

When this ability resolves, it returns all creature cards currently in your graveyard that were put there directly from the battlefield sometime during the turn. This includes cards that were put into your graveyard before Gleancrawler entered the battlefield.

({B/G} can be paid with either {B} or {G}.)
Trample
At the beginning of your end step, return to your hand all creature cards in your graveyard that were put there from the battlefield this turn.

When asked how much power is required, Izzet mages always answer "more."

Goblin Electromancer

Instant and sorcery spells you cast cost {1} less to cast.

Two Goblin Electromancers will make instant and sorcery spells you cast cost {2} less to cast, and so on.

Goblin Electromancer's effect reduces only generic mana in the spell's total cost.

To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.

The Golgari don't bury their dead. They plant them.

Golgari Germination

Whenever a nontoken creature you control dies, put a 1/1 green Saproling creature token onto the battlefield.

Whenever a nontoken creature you control dies, create a 1/1 green Saproling creature token.

Golgari Grave-Troll

Golgari Grave-Troll enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it for each creature card in your graveyard.
{1}, Remove a +1/+1 counter from Golgari Grave-Troll: Regenerate Golgari Grave-Troll.
Dredge 6

Because damage remains marked on a creature until it's removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to Golgari Grave-Troll may become lethal if you remove +1/+1 counters from it during that turn. In this case, it dies before you can resolve the activated ability that will regenerate it.

If you return Golgari Grave-Troll from your graveyard directly to the battlefield, its first ability counts itself.

Golgari Grave-Troll enters with a +1/+1 counter on it for each creature card in your graveyard.
{1}, Remove a +1/+1 counter from Golgari Grave-Troll: Regenerate Golgari Grave-Troll.
Dredge 6 (If you would draw a card, you may mill six cards instead. If you do, return this card from your graveyard to your hand.)

Golgari Rot Farm

Golgari Rot Farm enters the battlefield tapped.
When Golgari Rot Farm enters the battlefield, return a land you control to its owner's hand.
{T}: Add {B}{G} to your mana pool.

Grim Flowering

Draw a card for each creature card in your graveyard.

Count the number of creature cards in your graveyard when Grim Flowering resolves.

To those in tune with the Firemind, there is no difference between knowledge and flame.

Invoke the Firemind

Choose one — Draw X cards; or Invoke the Firemind deals X damage to target creature or player.

As you cast Invoke the Firemind, first you choose the mode (draw cards or deal damage), then you choose the value of X. You then choose a target, but only if you chose the second mode.

Choose one —
• Draw X cards.
• Invoke the Firemind deals X damage to any target.

Island

Isochron Scepter

Imprint — When Isochron Scepter enters the battlefield, you may exile an instant card with converted mana cost 2 or less from your hand.
{2}, {T}: You may copy the exiled card. If you do, you may cast the copy without paying its mana cost.

If Isochron Scepter leaves the battlefield while the activated ability is on the stack, the ability can still make a copy. On the other hand, if the imprinted card leaves the exile zone while the activated ability is on the stack, the copy can't be made.

If a spell has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.

If you cast a spell “without paying its mana cost,” you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast the spell.

If you don't want to cast the copy, you can choose not to; the copy ceases to exist the next time state-based actions are checked.

You cast the copy while the ability is resolving and still on the stack. You can't wait to cast it later in the turn.

Imprint — When Isochron Scepter enters, you may exile an instant card with mana value 2 or less from your hand.
{2}, {T}: You may copy the exiled card. If you do, you may cast the copy without paying its mana cost.

Izzet Boilerworks

Izzet Chronarch

When Izzet Chronarch enters the battlefield, return target instant or sorcery card from your graveyard to your hand.

When Izzet Chronarch enters, return target instant or sorcery card from your graveyard to your hand.

Izzet Guildmage

{2}{U}: Copy target instant spell you control with converted mana cost 2 or less. You may choose new targets for the copy.
{2}{R}: Copy target sorcery spell you control with converted mana cost 2 or less. You may choose new targets for the copy.

Any choices made as a spell resolves won't have been made yet once it's copied. Any such choices will be made separately as the copy resolves.

If a spell has {X} in its mana cost, include the value chosen for that X when determining the mana value of that spell.

If the spell has damage divided as it was cast, the division can't be changed (although the targets receiving that damage still can). The same is true of spells that distribute counters.

If the spell that's copied is modal (that is, it says "Choose one —" or the like), the copy will have the same mode or modes. You can't choose different ones.

If you copy a spell, you control the copy. It will resolve before the original spell does.

Izzet Guildmage's abilities can copy any instant or sorcery spell with an appropriate mana value, not just one with targets.

The controller of a copy can't choose to pay any alternative or additional costs for the copy. However, effects based on any alternative or additional costs that were paid for the original spell are copied as though those same costs were paid for the copy.

The copy is created on the stack, so it's not "cast." Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell won't trigger.

The copy will have the same targets as the spell it's copying unless you choose new ones. You may change any number of the targets, including all of them or none of them. If, for one of the targets, you can't choose a new legal target, then it remains unchanged (even if the current target is illegal).

({U/R} can be paid with either {U} or {R}.)
{2}{U}: Copy target instant spell you control with mana value 2 or less. You may choose new targets for the copy.
{2}{R}: Copy target sorcery spell you control with mana value 2 or less. You may choose new targets for the copy.

The Izzet signet is redesigned often, each time becoming closer to a vanity portrait of Niv-Mizzet.

Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord

Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord gets +1/+1 for each creature card in your graveyard.
{1}{B}{G}, Sacrifice another creature: Each opponent loses life equal to the sacrificed creature's power.
Sacrifice a Swamp and a Forest: Return Jarad from your graveyard to your hand.

Jarad’s first ability applies only when Jarad is on the battlefield.

The life loss is based on the power of the sacrificed creature as it last existed on the battlefield.

To activate Jarad’s last ability, you must sacrifice two lands. It doesn’t matter what other land types the two lands have, as long as one is a Swamp and one is a Forest. Even if one of the lands you sacrifice is both a Swamp and a Forest, you have to sacrifice another land that is a Swamp or a Forest.

You can sacrifice any land with the land type Swamp or Forest, not just ones named Swamp or Forest. For example, you could sacrifice two Overgrown Tombs.

It traps an explosion within its stony skin.

Kiln Fiend

Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, Kiln Fiend gets +3/+0 until end of turn.

Use the sacrificed creature’s toughness when it was last on the battlefield to determine the value of X.

{1}{B}{G}: Target creature gets +1/+1 and gains intimidate until end of turn. (It can't be blocked except by artifact creatures and/or creatures that share a color with it.)

Magma Spray

Magma Spray deals 2 damage to target creature. If that creature would die this turn, exile it instead.

Magma Spray's replacement effect will exile the target creature if it would die this turn for any reason, not just due to lethal damage. It applies to the target creature even if Magma Spray deals no damage to it (due to a prevention effect) or Magma Spray deals damage to a different creature (due to a redirection effect).

Mountain

Nightmare Void

Target player reveals his or her hand. You choose a card from it. That player discards that card.
Dredge 2 (If you would draw a card, instead you may put exactly two cards from the top of your library into your graveyard. If you do, return this card from your graveyard to your hand. Otherwise, draw a card.)

If you target yourself with this spell, you must reveal your entire hand to the other players just as any other player would.

Target player reveals their hand. You choose a card from it. That player discards that card.

Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind

Flying
Whenever you draw a card, Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind deals 1 damage to target creature or player.
{T}: Draw a card.

If a spell or ability causes you to draw multiple cards, Niv-Mizzet's ability triggers that many times.

If dealing 1 damage to a permanent or player causes you to draw a card, perhaps because Niv-Mizzet is enchanted by Curiosity, you'll continue this loop until the loop is interrupted, perhaps by a player losing the game.

Flying
Whenever you draw a card, Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind deals 1 damage to any target.
