Alibou, Ancient Witness 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
Other artifact creatures you control have haste. Whenever one or more artifact creatures you control attack, Alibou deals X damage to any target and you scry X, where X is the number of tapped artifacts you control.
How it works : Alibou, Ancient Witness
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
If Alibou leaves the battlefield, artifact creatures you control lose haste. If they haven't been under your control since the turn began and don't otherwise have haste, they can't attack that turn. If they've already attacked, losing haste won't remove them from combat and they'll remain attackers.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
You choose a target as Alibou's triggered ability is put on the stack. If that target isn't legal as the triggered ability tries to resolve, it doesn't resolve and you don't scry.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
If you control no tapped artifacts when the triggered ability resolves (perhaps because they were destroyed or had vigilance), no damage will be dealt and you won't scry.
No other card is named in this ruling.
