Blim, Comedic Genius 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
Flying Whenever Blim deals combat damage to a player, that player gains control of target permanent you control. Then each player loses life and discards cards equal to the number of permanents they control but don't own.
How it works : Blim, Comedic Genius
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
You choose which permanent the player gains control of, not the player who was dealt damage.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
The player who was dealt damage can't refuse your generous gift. That would be rude.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
If the target permanent you control is an illegal target by the time Blim's ability tries to resolve, the ability doesn't resolve. The other player doesn't gain control of your permanent, and no one loses life or discards cards.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
Players lose life and discard cards for all permanents they control but don't own, not just the ones they received from you.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #5· Wizards of the Coast
The control-change effect of Blim's ability lasts indefinitely. It doesn't wear off during the cleanup step, and it doesn't expire if Blim leaves the battlefield. In a multiplayer game, it does expire if the current controller leaves the game.
No other card is named in this ruling.
