About Declaration in Stone

Declaration in Stone, Sorcery, designed by Tyler Jacobson first released in May, 2020 in the set Shadows over Innistrad Promos and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 8.55.

Declaration in Stone is a powerful card that can be beneficial in a white-based control deck looking to deal with threats efficiently. While it can provide card advantage through investigating, there are potentially better options like Path to Exile or Swords to Plowshares that offer more immediate removal at the cost of not exiling all creatures with the same name. However, Declaration in Stone can still find a place in decks that value the investigative aspect or need a mass removal option against token strategies.

Rules

04/08/16

Declaration in Stone has only one target. The other creatures with that name aren’t targeted. For example, a creature with hexproof will be exiled if it has the same name as the target creature.

04/08/16

It’s possible to have a creature and a noncreature permanent with the same name, such as two copies of the same land, one of which has become a land creature. Only creatures with that name are exiled by Declaration in Stone.

04/08/16

The tokens are normal artifacts. For example, they can be sacrificed to cast Angelic Purge or targeted by Root Out.

04/08/16

Unless a token is a copy, or unless specified by the effect that created it, a token’s name is the same as its subtypes at the time it was created.
