Necromentia

Searching Usage in Other Zones

New 14 Mar 2022 Asked by onebuckchuck 18 Comments

"I’m not sure other zones get searched. " Cards like Surgical Extraction and Necromentia search opponent's hands and graveyards, and Finale of Devastation, Boonweaver Giant, and Chandra, Heart of Fire search your own graveyard for specific cards. It mostly seems to be used in conjunction with library searching to broaden an effect and in cases where the effect is looking for a specific card.


I think you only “search” another zone when doing it in conjunction with searching a library, so it would be odd to restrict “searching” and have it affect other zones only when the library is also searched.
