Alexios, Deimos of Kosmos 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.
Official card text
Trample Alexios attacks each combat if able, can't be sacrificed, and can't attack its owner. At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player gains control of Alexios, untaps it, and puts a +1/+1 counter on it. It gains haste until end of turn.
How it works : Alexios, Deimos of Kosmos
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
If Alexios can't attack for any reason (such as being tapped), then it doesn't attack. If there's a cost associated with having it attack, its controller isn't forced to pay that cost, so it doesn't have to attack in that case either.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
