Whispering Madness Blood Scrivener, I draw how many?

Asked by ginko2580 7 years ago

If I cast a Whispering Madness and I have a Blood Scrivener OTB... I would draw my hand plus one? and lose one life.

Might be interesting combo with a Chasm Skulker?

Yes, when you go to draw cards off Whispering Madness your hand will be empty. The first draw will be replaced with drawing 2 cards and losing 1 life, then the subsequent draws will take place as normal. From the gatherer page for Blood Scrivener:

4/15/2013: Any time you are instructed to draw more than one card, you draw them one at a time. For example, if you control Blood Scrivener and have no cards in hand and you're instructed to "draw two cards," your first card draw is replaced by drawing two cards and losing 1 life, then you'll draw the second card from the original instruction. In total, you'll draw three cards and lose 1 life.
