Riddles in the Dark

{2}{U}

Instant

Look at the top four cards of your library and separate them into a face-down pile and a face-up pile. An opponent chooses one of the piles. Put that pile into your hand and the other into your graveyard.

    You don't have to reveal the cards in the face-down pile if you put it into your hand.

  • 2026-06-29

    You may split the cards into one pile of four and one pile of zero. The pile of four cards could be the face-up pile or the face-down pile. Which pile to choose won't be much of riddle for your opponent if you do that!
