Carte Magic Airtight Alibi

Airtight Alibi is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.

01

Official card text

Flash Enchant creature When this Aura enters, untap enchanted creature. It gains hexproof until end of turn. If it's suspected, it's no longer suspected. Enchanted creature gets +2/+2 and can't become suspected.

How it works : Airtight Alibi

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    When an effect suspects a creature, it becomes suspected. It gains menace and "This creature can't block" for as long as it's suspected. It stays suspected until it leaves the battlefield or another effect causes it to no longer be suspected.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If a suspected creature loses all abilities, it will lose menace and "This creature can't block", but it won't stop being suspected.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Being suspected isn't a copiable value. If a permanent becomes a copy of a suspected creature, it won't be suspected.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    If a creature is already suspected, suspecting it again won't have any effect.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    There's no limit to the number of creatures that can be suspected simultaneously. Suspecting a new creature doesn't cause other creatures to stop being suspected.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
