Did I just milled myself out of the game with Mirror-Mad Phantasm?

Asked by pedroedmarcos 5 years ago

Hey there,

So, I was looking for some cards, budget or not, for my attempt of making a Muldrotha, the Gravetide deck yesterday when I realized what is Mirror-Mad Phantasm and with this card it came the question:

If I clone Mirror-Mad Phantasm, with something like Clever Impersonator maybe, and make the clone activate his ability to self mill, will it make me mill my deck?

Kogarashi says... Accepted answer #1

Yes, you will mill your entire deck.

Relevant rulings:

If no card named Mirror-Mad Phantasm is revealed (possibly because it was a card copying Mirror-Mad Phantasm or it was a token), all cards from that library will be put into their owner’s graveyard. (2011-09-22)

If another creature (such as Necrotic Ooze) gains Mirror-Mad Phantasm’s activated ability, its owner reveals cards until they reveal a card named Mirror-Mad Phantasm. (2011-09-22)
