Oracle Text
Return any number of target nonland, nontoken permanents you control to their owners' hands. Draw a card for each card returned to your hand this way.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Paradoxical Outcome is a powerhouse in artifact- and engine-based builds, leaning toward combo and value more than aggressive or pure control strategies. By returning any number of nonland, nontoken permanents you control to your hand, it refuels your hand and resets ETB-enabled pieces for multiple triggers; it shines with Cloudstone Curio plus a suite of cheap ETB artifacts and creatures (Mishra’s Bauble, Ornithopter, Trinket Mage targets) and pairs naturally with mana rocks—Sol Ring/Arcane Signet—or cost-reducers like Etherium Sculptor so you can replay and storm off. In practice use it as a digging engine in long games or a tempo reset to dodge removal while drawing cards; build your deck with lots of zero-to-two-mana permanents, artifact tutors, and interaction (counterspells or artifact hate answers) to protect the window PO creates. Be mindful it can’t touch tokens or lands, so tailor your package to maximize reusable, impactful permanents.
