10 rulings for 4 cards

Beast Whisperer

Wizards of the Coast 19 Mar 2021

An ability that triggers when a player casts a spell resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.

Laboratory Maniac

Wizards of the Coast 19 Mar 2021

If for some reason you can't win the game (because your opponent has cast Angel's Grace this turn, for example), you won't lose for having tried to draw a card from a library with no cards in it. The draw was still replaced.

Wizards of the Coast 19 Mar 2021

If two or more players each control a Laboratory Maniac and each player is instructed to draw a number of cards, first the player whose turn it is draws that many cards. If this causes that player to win the game instead, the game is immediately over. If the game isn't over yet, repeat this process for each other player in turn order.

Vizier of the Menagerie

Wizards of the Coast 18 Apr 2017

Vizier of the Menagerie lets you look at the top card of your library whenever you want (with one restriction—see below), even if you don't have priority. This action doesn't use the stack. Knowing what that card is becomes part of the information you have access to, just like you can look at the cards in your hand.

Wizards of the Coast 18 Apr 2017

If the top card of your library changes while you're casting a spell, playing a land, or activating an ability, you can't look at the new top card until you finish doing so. This means that if you cast the top card of your library, you can't look at the next one until you're done paying for that spell.

Wizards of the Coast 18 Apr 2017

You'll still pay all costs for that spell, including additional costs. You may also pay alternative costs such as emerge or that of As Foretold.

Wizards of the Coast 18 Apr 2017

The top card of your library isn't in your hand, so you can't cycle it, discard it, or activate any of its activated abilities.

Wizards of the Coast 18 Apr 2017

Normally, Vizier of the Menagerie allows you to cast the top card of your library if it's a creature card, it's your main phase, and the stack is empty. If that creature card has flash, you'll be able to cast it any time you could cast an instant, even on an opponent's turn.

Wizards of the Coast 18 Apr 2017

You may spend mana as though it were mana of any type to cast any creature spell, not just creature spells that you cast from the top of your library.

Wood Elves

Wizards of the Coast 4 Oct 2004

Because the "search" requires you to find a card with certain characteristics, you don't have to find the card if you don't want to.

Also Printed in Other Drops

Some of these cards came in other Secret Lair drops too, each with its own art.
