Carte Magic Boomer Scrapper

Boomer Scrapper 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

Whenever this creature enters or attacks, you lose 1 life and create a Junk token. (It's an artifact with "{T}, Sacrifice this token: Exile the top card of your library. You may play that card this turn. Activate only as a sorcery.") Whenever a token you control leaves the battlefield, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.

How it works : Boomer Scrapper

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    You can't sacrifice a Junk token to pay multiple costs. For example, you can't sacrifice a Junk token to activate its own ability and also to activate the second ability of Junk Jet.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    You pay all costs and follow all normal timing rules for the card played from exile with a Junk token's ability. For example, if the exiled card is a land card, you may play it only during your main phase while the stack is empty.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Some spells and abilities that create Junk tokens may require targets. If each target chosen is illegal as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects happen. You won't create any Junk tokens.
