Espers to Magicite card art

Espers to Magicite

Instant MV 4

Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.

What it does

Exile each opponent's graveyard. When you do, choose up to one target creature card exiled this way. Create a token that's a copy of that card, except it's an artifact and it loses all other card types.

Rulings

5 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2025-06-06

    If the copied card has X in its mana cost, X is 0.

  • 2025-06-06

    You don't choose a target for Espers to Magicite at the time you cast it. Rather, a second "reflexive" ability triggers when you exile each opponent's graveyard this way. You choose a target for that ability as it goes on the stack. Each player may respond to this triggered ability as normal.

  • 2025-06-06

    If a card copied by the token had any "when [this permanent] enters" abilities, the token also has those abilities, and they'll trigger when it's created. Similarly, any "as [this permanent] enters" or "[this permanent] enters with" abilities that the token has copied will also work.

  • 2025-06-06

    The token is an artifact instead of its other types. This is a copiable value of the token that other effects may copy.

  • 2025-06-06

    Except for the listed exceptions, the token copies exactly what was printed on the original card and nothing else. It doesn't copy any information about the object the card may have been at any point before it was exiled.

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.
