About Whispering Madness

Whispering Madness, Sorcery, designed by Clint Cearley first released in Feb, 2013 in the set Gatecrash and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of ₱ 53.05.

A deck that focuses on disrupting opponents' hands and drawing cards would benefit from including Whispering Madness, especially in a control or combo strategy. While there are other strong discard and draw cards in Magic: the Gathering, such as Wheel of Fortune or Windfall, Whispering Madness's Cipher ability provides additional value by potentially allowing for repeated use. Whether or not it should see play depends on the specific deck strategy and meta, but it could be a powerful addition in the right context.

Rules

04/15/13

If a creature with an encoded card deals combat damage to more than one player simultaneously (perhaps because some of the combat damage was redirected), the triggered ability will trigger once for each player it deals combat damage to. Each ability will create a copy of the exiled card and allow you to cast it.

04/15/13

If the spell with cipher doesn’t resolve, none of its effects will happen, including cipher. The card will go to its owner’s graveyard and won’t be encoded on a creature.

04/15/13

If you want to encode the card with cipher onto a noncreature permanent such as a Keyrune that can turn into a creature, that permanent has to be a creature before the spell with cipher starts resolving. You can choose only a creature to encode the card onto.

04/15/13

The exiled card with cipher grants a triggered ability to the creature it’s encoded on. If that creature loses that ability and subsequently deals combat damage to a player, the triggered ability won’t trigger. However, the exiled card will continue to be encoded on that creature.

04/15/13

The spell with cipher is encoded on the creature as part of that spell’s resolution, just after the spell’s other effects. That card goes directly from the stack to exile. It never goes to the graveyard.

04/15/13

You cast the copy of the card with cipher during the resolution of the triggered ability. Ignore timing restrictions based on the card’s type.

01/24/13

Each player draws cards simultaneously. If this causes a player to draw more cards than are left in their library, that player will lose the game. If this causes all players to do so, the game is a draw. (In multiplayer games, multiple players drawing from an empty library will cause those players to lose although the game may continue.)
