Descendants' Path?
Asked by CJ_95 11 years ago
I have two questions pertaining to Descendants' Path . Let's say I'm using a cat tribal deck and at my upkeep, I reveal a cat like Ajani's Sunstriker . I read on http://gatherer.wizards.com, that "If the revealed card is a creature card that shares a creature type with a creature you control, but you choose not to cast it, it stays on top of your library.". 1) Is that true? 2) If the top card is not a cat creature, will I be able to draw the next card in my library after it, since the effect triggers at my upkeep?

The wording says that if it is a creature that shares a type with another you control (in your case, cat), then you MAY cast it. If not, then it's returned back to the top of your library. It's only put to the bottom if it doesn't share a creature type with anything else.
All of this is done in your upkeep (before your draw step), so you would draw the next card if you cast it, or it was put to the bottom of your deck. If it was put back at the top, you would draw the card that was revealed.

Greatsword has a good point, always believe gatherer. Wizards make the rules of this game, and Wizards made the rulings on gatherer

@nayaftw when that happens you can use ((user:greatsword)) to get GreatSword instead of the card. (obviously with square brackets, I just used normal brackets so it would show up)

Unless you have an explicitly good reason, you should always believe the rulings on cards in Gatherer. The site is managed by Wizards themselves; they know what they're saying.
To your second question, yes you will draw the "next" card, since that card will then be the top card of your library, since the revealed card is now on the bottom.
