How surveil works in MTG.
Example: To surveil 2, look at your top two cards, put zero, one, or both into your graveyard, then return the rest in any order.
Rules and interactions
- Surveil does not draw a card; it only changes which cards remain on top and which go to the graveyard.
- Cards put into the graveyard by surveil can trigger abilities that care about surveilling or cards entering a graveyard.
- If your library contains fewer cards than the surveil number, look at all cards that remain.
