About this card
Mana cost: {2}{G}{G}
Type: Enchantment
{2}{G}: This enchantment deals 1 damage to target creature. Create a 1/1 green Splinter creature token. It has flying and "Cumulative upkeep {G}." When it leaves the battlefield, it deals 1 damage to you and each creature you control. (At the beginning of its controller's upkeep, that player puts an age counter on it, then sacrifices it unless they pay its upkeep cost for each age counter on it.)

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Splintering Wind is real?
Splintering Wind is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the print quality and cardstock (real cards have a distinctive blue inner core visible from the edge), the rosette pattern on the back, the security stamp on planeswalker / mythic cards from recent sets, and confirm the collector number and set code match the official Scryfall record. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
