Carte Magic Cathedral Acolyte

Cathedral Acolyte 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

Each creature you control with a counter on it has ward {1}. (Whenever it becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, counter it unless that player pays {1}.) {T}: Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature that entered this turn.

How it works : Cathedral Acolyte

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    The effect of Cathedral Acolyte’s first ability applies to any creature you control with a counter on it, not just ones with +1/+1 counters.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Once a creature’s ward ability has triggered, causing that creature to lose ward by removing Cathedral Acolyte won’t affect the ability. The appropriate player will still have to pay {1} or see their spell or ability countered.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
