What cards does Genesis Wave let me put into play?

Asked by Legendinc 14 years ago

first off, its a pretty bad ass card, saved my arse a couple times when i made my new deck.

anyway, what i was wondering, was if i play Genesis Wave , say i pay the 3 green and then tap 5 as the X cost and reveal the top 5 cards:

  • can i play the land i reveal by this effect?
  • can i play instants/sorceries revealed by this effect?

You can play any permanents. All of your lands that are revealed can be played, instants and sorceries go to the graveyard

yup Snafu7 is correct. any permanent u reveal with genesis wave would be put into play. all other cards (instants and sorceries) would go to the graveyard.

snafu correct for the most just one small detail was left out:

for this scenario "X" is 5 so you may only put permanents with a cmc of 5 onto the battlefield (i know it is just a minor detail but this makes a huge difference when playing it).

actually, to also change a small minor detail (that makes a huge difference when playing it), on your post xeratheenigma, is that Genesis Wave says "...You may put any number of permanent cards with converted mana cost of X OR LESS among them onto the field..."

and none of my cards in that current deck has a CMC of more than 6.
