Official rulings

Two official rulings apply to Celeborn the Wise, newest first.

  • Celeborn the Wise's first ability has you scry 1 just once whenever you attack with one or more Elves, no matter how many Elves you attack with and no matter how many players you attack.
  • Celeborn the Wise's last ability cares about the number of cards you actually looked at. For example, if you were supposed to scry 3 but only had two cards in your library, Celeborn would get +2/+2.
