FrenchLe MaelstromPlan : AlaraQuand vous vous transplanez vers Le Maelstrom ou au début de votre entretien, vous pouvez révéler la carte du dessus de votre bibliothèque. Si c'est une carte de permanent, vous pouvez la mettre sur le champ de bataille. Sinon, mettez cette carte au-dessous de votre bibliothèque.
À chaque fois que vous obtenez chaos, renvoyez sur le champ de bataille une carte de permanent ciblée depuis votre cimetière.

2009-10-01A face-up plane card that's turned face down becomes a new object with no relation to its previous existence. In particular, it loses all counters it may have had.
2009-10-01A permanent card is an artifact, creature, enchantment, land, or planeswalker card.
2009-10-01A plane card is treated as if its text box included "When you roll {PW}, put this card on the bottom of its owner's planar deck face down, then move the top card of your planar deck off that planar deck and turn it face up." This is called the "planeswalking ability."
2009-10-01As The Maelstrom's first ability resolves, you choose whether or not to reveal the top card of your library. If you reveal it and it's a permanent card, you have two choices: Put it onto the battlefield, or put it on the bottom of your library. It can't remain on top of your library. On the other hand, if you reveal it and it's an instant or sorcery card, it must be put on the bottom of your library. There is no way you can leave a card revealed this way on top of your library.
2009-10-01If an ability of a plane refers to "you," it's referring to whoever the plane's controller is at the time, not to the player that started the game with that plane card in their deck. Many abilities of plane cards affect all players, while many others affect only the planar controller, so read each ability carefully.
2009-10-01If you reveal a permanent card that can't enter (because it's an Aura and there's nothing it can enchant, for example), then you must put it on the bottom of your library.
2009-10-01The controller of a face-up plane card is the player designated as the "planar controller." Normally, the planar controller is whoever the active player is. However, if the current planar controller would leave the game, instead the next player in turn order that wouldn't leave the game becomes the planar controller, then the old planar controller leaves the game. The new planar controller retains that designation until they leave the game or a different player becomes the active player, whichever comes first.
