Carte Magic Blinkmoth Nexus

Blinkmoth Nexus 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

{T}: Add {C}. {1}: This land becomes a 1/1 Blinkmoth artifact creature with flying until end of turn. It's still a land. {1}, {T}: Target Blinkmoth creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn.

How it works : Blinkmoth Nexus

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    A noncreature permanent that turns into a creature can attack, and its {T} abilities can be activated, only if its controller has continuously controlled that permanent since the beginning of their most recent turn. It doesn't matter how long the permanent has been a creature.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Blinkmoth Nexus can be the target of its last ability after activating its middle ability. Activating it after it has blocked a creature won't remove it from combat or stop it from dealing and being dealt combat damage.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
