Rulings
2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2026-03-20
An opus ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered or otherwise leaves the stack.
- 2026-03-20
Molten-Core Maestro's last ability is not a mana ability. It uses the stack and can be responded to.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
