What it does

Choose a card name. Exile the top six cards of your library, then reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a card with the chosen name. Put that card into your hand and exile all other cards revealed this way.

Combos with Demonic Consultation

Lines this card is part of — what it needs alongside it, and what the two of them do. An infinite result is the one that moves a deck's bracket.

Combo data from Commander Spellbook, the community-maintained database of Magic combos. Mirrored nightly.

Rulings

4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2004-10-04

    There is no way to make this card affect your opponent. It affects "you", and "you" means the controller of the spell. It has no targets.

  • 2004-10-04

    You must name a card that actually exists in the game of Magic.

  • 2008-10-01

    You don't name a card until Demonic Consultation resolves.

  • 2008-10-01

    If you don't reveal the named card (perhaps because it was in the top six cards of your library), you'll end up exiling your entire library. You don't lose the game at that point, but will lose the next time you're instructed to draw a card.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Demonic Consultation

5 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Demonic Consultation — a name search across every version, for the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
