About Magical Hack

Magical Hack, Instant, designed by Julie Baroh first released in Aug, 1993 in the set Limited Edition Alpha and was printed exactly in 13 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of £ 1.07.

This card, Magical Hack, would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on disrupting an opponent's strategy by manipulating their key spells or permanents that rely on specific basic land types. While it can be a fun and unexpected way to throw off an opponent's plans, there are more versatile and impactful cards like Blood Moon or Alpine Moon that can have a broader impact on the game. Overall, Magical Hack may not see competitive play due to its narrow use case compared to other options available.

Rules

Alters all occurrences of the chosen word in the text box and the type line of the given card.

10/04/04

Changing the text of a spell will not allow you to change the targets of the spell because the targets were chosen when the spell was cast. The text change will (probably) cause it to be countered since the targets will be illegal.

10/04/04

It can be used to change a land’s type from one basic land type to another. For example, Forest can be changed to Island so it produces blue mana. It doesn’t change the name of any permanent.

10/04/04

It can’t change a word to the same word. It must be a different word.
