Rulings
2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2018-12-07
You draw two cards and discard two cards all while Frantic Search is resolving. Nothing can happen between the two, and no player may choose to take actions.
- 2022-12-08
You choose which lands to untap as the spell resolves. They aren't targeted, and they don't have to be lands that you control.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

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.
