Carte Magic Bioengineered Future

Bioengineered Future 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 enchantment enters, create a Lander token. (It's an artifact with "{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this token: Search your library for a basic land card, put it onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle.") Each creature you control enters with an additional +1/+1 counter on it for each land that entered the battlefield under your control this turn.

How it works : Bioengineered Future

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Bioengineered Future’s last ability will consider lands that entered the battlefield under your control before it was on the battlefield. For example, if two lands entered the battlefield under your control this turn before Bioengineered Future entered, creatures you control will enter with two +1/+1 counters on them this turn.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    In the unlikely event that Bioengineered Future and one or more creatures you control enter at the same time, Bioengineered Future’s last ability won’t cause those creatures to enter with additional +1/+1 counters on them.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
