Carte Magic Arcbound Condor

Arcbound Condor 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

Flying Modular 3 (This creature enters with three +1/+1 counters on it. When it dies, you may put its +1/+1 counters on target artifact creature.) Whenever another artifact you control enters, target creature an opponent controls gets -1/-1 until end of turn.

How it works : Arcbound Condor

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If this creature gets enough -1/-1 counters put on it to cause it to go to the graveyard, modular will put a number of +1/+1 counters on the target artifact creature equal to the number of +1/+1 counters on this creature before it left the battlefield.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
