When do you discard to 7?
Asked by gamerboy6000 13 years ago
I had a recent multiplayer game in which I had a Consecrated Sphinx . We had a dispute about when I needed to lose cards from hand, so I'm wondering if I only discard down at the end of my turn, or at the end of every turn.

514.1. First, if the active player's hand contains more cards than his or her maximum hand size (normally seven), he or she discards enough cards to reduce his or her hand size to that number. This turn-based action doesn't use the stack.
The active player (the player whose turn it is) is the only one who discards down to maximum hand size during the cleanup step. Other players continue to hold extra cards until their own cleanup step.
