Scry

Keyword actions

Look at the top N cards and choose to keep or bin them.

How it works

Scry N: look at the top N cards of your library. Put any number of them on the bottom of your library and the rest back on top, in any order you choose.

Scry is library manipulation, not card draw — it improves your next draws but doesn't put cards into your hand.

Common confusions

Scry then draw.

A common combo (e.g., 'Scry 1, then draw a card'). Resolve the scry fully first, then draw — so you can set up the exact card you draw.

Order on top.

When you keep multiple cards on top, you decide their order. They aren't shuffled.
