Carnival Barker 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
: You have thirty seconds to laud a creature you control to any people outside the game. Until end of turn, that creature gains trample and haste and gets +X/+0, where X is the number of those people who applauded. Activate only as a sorcery and only once.
How it works : Carnival Barker
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
The thirty seconds starts as the ability starts resolving and you start lauding. Someone should be ready to time you before you activate the ability.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Lauding means singing the praises of the creature in question. Complimenting it. Telling everyone of its awesomeness, that kind of thing. Don’t stray off-topic. And resist the urge to say “Please clap”—86% of audiences don’t respond well to desperation.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
“Only once” means once for that particular creature. If a different copy of Carnival Barker enters the battlefield, or if Carnival Barker leaves the battlefield and returns, it’s a new object and its ability can be activated. Please be considerate of others around you before designing a deck around blinking and activating Carnival Barker three times each turn.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
If another player gains control of a Carnival Barker whose ability has been activated, they won’t be able to activate it. That Barker’s all barked out.
No other card is named in this ruling.
