Paradoxical Outcome

Instant

Return any number of target nonland, nontoken permanents you control to their owners' hands. Draw a card for each card returned to your hand this way.

The results of Rashmi's experimentation forced her to consider the possibility that multitudinous realities existed beyond her own.

Illustrated by
Nils Hamm

Legality

Rulings (2)

  • If a melded or merged permanent is returned to your hand this way, you'll draw a card for each of its components that are cards.
  • If you control but don't own some of the target permanents, they won't count when determining how many cards you draw.
