What it does

Vigilance

At the beginning of each end step, if a player lost 4 or more life this turn, you draw a card.

Whenever you cast a noncreature spell with mana value 3 or greater, Y'shtola deals 2 damage to each opponent and you gain 2 life.

Rulings

3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2025-06-06

    Y'shtola's second ability checks at the moment it would trigger to see if a player lost 4 or more life this turn. If none did, the ability won't trigger at all. Once an end step begins, it's too late to cause a player to lose life in order to cause this ability to trigger.

  • 2025-06-06

    Y'shtola's last ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered or otherwise leaves the stack.

  • 2025-06-06

    For spells on the stack with X in their mana costs, use the value chosen for X to determine the spell's mana value.

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