Teferi's Ageless Insight + Divination

Asked by raphael75 3 years ago

If I have Teferi's Ageless Insight out and play Divination, will I draw a total of 6 cards ((1 + 2) + (1 + 2))?

You will draw 4 cards.

Teferi's Ageless Insight replaces anytime you would draw a card by drawing two cards. Since Divination makes you draw two cards, Teferi's Ageless Insight would replace each draw with two cards instead. 2+2=4.

If you see an "instead," it's what's called a replacement effect. Teferi's Ageless Insight replaces the draw with a draw 2, so you'll draw 4 cards, not 6. However, the replacement effect doesn't change the source of the draw; you can think of it like changing the Divination to read "Draw four cards."
