Cipher

Keywords · advanced

Cipher lets a spell attach itself to a creature so it can be recast on combat damage.

How it works

• After a spell with cipher resolves, you may exile it encoded on a creature you control.
• Whenever that creature deals combat damage to a player, its controller may cast a copy of the encoded card without paying its mana cost.

Rules notes

• The encoded card stays in exile; the creature only ever casts copies of it.
• If the creature leaves play, the encoded card stays in exile and simply stops being recast.
