This time we&#8217;ll be looking at one of the most popular draw spells in the current Standard format, <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-content\/plugins\/lems-mtg-helper\/lems-mtg-helper-cardfinder.php?find=Sphinx%26%238217%3Bs+Revelation&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Sphinx&#8217;s Revelation<\/a>. As we saw on Monday, Courser has you play with the top card of your library revealed, which is good for you&#8230; but can also be good for your opponent, as they&#8217;ll get to see which cards you&#8217;re drawing next.<\/p>\n<p>So how does checking the top card of your library work with a draw spell? Whenever a player is instructed to draw more than one card at a time, the game breaks that down into a series of separate actions: so \u201cDraw 3 cards\u201d becomes \u201cDraw a card, draw a card, draw a card.\u201d Because you&#8217;re drawing each card separately, that means the top card of your library will change in between each card draw. Whether you actually draw the cards one at a time, or physically perform some other action like counting them face-down on the table, the end result is that you&#8217;ll have to reveal each card you draw to your opponent. Don&#8217;t let your opponent&#8217;s revelations dissuade you from calling upon the power of the Sphinx, though &#8212; at least you still got to draw a ton of cards.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Rules Tip written by Jen Wong<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When drawing multiple cards at once while playing with the top card of your library revealed, each draw is interrupted by revealing the next top card before drawing it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[25,15,17],"tags":[1096,863],"language":[1196],"class_list":["post-4155","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-continuouseffects","category-resolving-spells-and-abilities","category-staticabilities","tag-courser-of-kruphix","tag-sphinxs-revelation","language-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4155","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4155"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4155\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4156,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4155\/revisions\/4156"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4155"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4155"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4155"},{"taxonomy":"language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/language?post=4155"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
