How can players view the Oracle text of a card?

Players can view the Oracle text of a card whenever they wish, as long as it is in public. This is an essential aspect of the game's rules, ensuring that all players have access to the most accurate and updated version of a card's abilities and effects. Oracle text is the authoritative wording of a card, which can sometimes differ from older printings or versions, making it crucial for gameplay understanding.

The rules allow players to refer to card text to clarify any ambiguities during a match, promoting fair play and informed decisions. Any player can look up this information, whether it's through online resources, official card databases, or physical copies, as long as they are in an environment where all players can see the information, maintaining transparency.

Other options do not align with the rules as only allowing card text to be viewed in paper form, limiting access to a judge, or restricting the information based on strategic content is not supported by the official guidelines regarding card text accessibility.
