Carte Magic Barbed Spike

Barbed Spike 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

When this Equipment enters, create a 1/1 colorless Thopter artifact creature token with flying, then attach this Equipment to it. Equipped creature gets +1/+0. Equip {2}

How it works : Barbed Spike

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Creating the Thopter token and attaching Barbed Spike to it happen as part of the resolution of the same ability. There is no time for an opponent to react after the token is created but before the Equipment is attached.

    Card named in this ruling

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    The token will still be created even if Barbed Spike is not able to be attached to it (perhaps because it was destroyed in response to the ability).

    No other card is named in this ruling.
