Ominous Excavation

Ominous Excavation (Blue)

You may shuffle an instant card from your graveyard into your deck.

If an aura you control was destroyed this turn, create a Ponder token.

Rulings

From the Omens of the Third Age release notes
  • When Ominous Excavation resolves: you may shuffle an instant card of your choice from your graveyard into your deck. Then, whether or not an aura you control was destroyed this turn is checked. If one was destroyed this turn, you will create a Ponder token.
  • If you choose not to shuffle an instant card or you don’t have any instant cards in your graveyard, you will still create a Ponder token if an aura you control was destroyed this turn.
  • When resolving Ominous Excavation, there is no priority between any of the effects generated (e.g. shuffling a card into your deck, creating tokens).
