Carte Magic Arcbound Wanderer

Arcbound Wanderer 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

Modular—Sunburst (This creature enters with a +1/+1 counter on it for each color of mana spent to cast it. When it dies, you may put its +1/+1 counters on target artifact creature.)

How it works : Arcbound Wanderer

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 its toughness to be 0 or less (or the damage marked on it to be lethal), 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.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    This card has modular—sunburst, a combination of two keyword abilities. The sunburst ability sets the number for the modular ability. Basically, the number of +1/+1 counters the Wanderer gets as it enters is equal to the number of colors of mana used to pay its cost.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    For the leaves-the-battlefield ability, the number of counters on Arcbound Wanderer at the time it left the battlefield is what's relevant; the number of colors of mana used to pay its cost doesn't matter anymore.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    When the Wanderer leaves the battlefield, you may put the counters onto a single target artifact creature. You can't split them among two or more artifact creatures.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
