Black Panther, Wakandan King 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.
Official card text
First strike Survey the Realm — Whenever Black Panther or another creature you control enters, put a +1/+1 counter on target land you control. Mine Vibranium —: Move all +1/+1 counters from target land you control onto target creature. If one or more +1/+1 counters are moved this way, you gain that much life and draw a card.
Complete guide
Black Panther, Wakandan King is a versatile commander that transforms your lands into sources of power and resources. By utilizing the Survey the Realm ability, you can turn every creature entry into a permanent boost for your territory before harvesting that energy for health and card advantage.
Empowering the Land
Whenever Black Panther, Wakandan King or another creature enters the battlefield under your control, the Survey the Realm ability triggers. This allows you to place a +1/+1 counter on a target land you control. While lands are not usually creatures, they can still hold +1/+1 counters; these counters will stay on the land and will only affect its power and toughness if the land becomes a creature later.
Mining for Resources
The Mine Vibranium ability costs three mana and targets both a land you control and a creature. When this resolves, every +1/+1 counter on the targeted land is moved to the targeted creature. If at least one counter is successfully moved, you gain life equal to the number of counters moved and draw exactly one card. Note that if the land has no counters, the ability still resolves, but you won't gain life or draw a card.
Strategic Timing
Since Mine Vibranium is an activated ability without timing restrictions, you can use it at instant speed. This is particularly effective during combat to surprise an opponent by moving counters to a creature after blockers have been declared. It also serves as a way to 'save' the value of your counters if a land is about to be destroyed by an opponent's spell.
Interaction examples
Llanowar ElvesYou cast Black Panther, Wakandan King. When he enters, his Survey the Realm ability triggers, allowing you to put a +1/+1 counter on a Forest you control. Next turn, you cast Llanowar Elves. This triggers Black Panther again, allowing you to put a second +1/+1 counter on that same Forest.
Birds of ParadiseWith two +1/+1 counters already on a land, you cast Birds of Paradise. Survey the Realm triggers, and you put a third counter on the land. You then pay three mana to activate Mine Vibranium, targeting the land and the Birds of Paradise. The three counters move to the Birds of Paradise, making it a 3/4 flyer. You gain 3 life and draw a card.
