Bruvac the Grandiloquent + Jidoor, Aristocratic Capital // Overture

Overview

When Jidoor’s Overture resolves it instructs the target opponent to mill half their library, rounded down; Bruvac the Grandiloquent’s replacement effect changes that ‘‘would mill’’ event so the opponent mills twice that many cards instead, i.e. 2 × floor(L/2) cards (Bruvac applies because Jidoor uses the word “mills”) Ruling [2020-06-23].

Step 1

Cast Jidoor’s Overture and let it resolve. Its effect reads “Target opponent mills half their library, rounded down.” This is an event: a player would mill one or more cards .

Step 2

Bruvac’s static replacement effect applies to any event where an opponent would mill one or more cards and replaces that event with milling twice that many cards instead. Because Jidoor’s Overture uses the word “mills,” Bruvac applies (Ruling [2020-06-23]).

Step 3

Compute the original number from Jidoor: N = floor(L/2), where L is the number of cards in the targeted player’s library at the time the milling would occur. Bruvac replaces that event so the player mills 2 × N cards instead.

Step 4

Resolve the milling by putting the top 2 × N cards of that library into that player’s graveyard. If there are fewer than 2 × N cards in the library, put all remaining cards from that library into the graveyard (you mill as many as you can).

Step 5

After the milling is finished, follow the remainder of Jidoor’s Overture text: exile the Overture and you may later play the land from exile (the land side is a separate object with its own characteristics).

Resolution

Jidoor, Aristocratic Capital // Overture: When the Overture resolves it causes the targeted opponent to mill floor(L/2) cards; Bruvac the Grandiloquent replaces that event so the opponent mills twice that many cards instead, i.e. 2 × floor(L/2). If 2 × floor(L/2) is greater than the number of cards remaining in that library, the player mills all remaining cards. Bruvac does not apply to effects that say “put into a graveyard” without using the word “mill” (Ruling [2020-06-23]).
