Carte Magic Caustic Bronco

Caustic Bronco 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 attacks, reveal the top card of your library and put it into your hand. You lose life equal to that card's mana value if this creature isn't saddled. Otherwise, each opponent loses that much life. Saddle 3 (Tap any number of other creatures you control with total power 3 or more: This Mount becomes saddled until end of turn. Saddle only as a sorcery.)

How it works : Caustic Bronco

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If the revealed card doesn’t have a mana cost (because it’s a land card, for example), its mana value is 0.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If the revealed card’s mana cost includes {X}, X is 0 for the purpose of determining its mana value.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If the revealed card is a split card, that card’s mana value is based on the combined mana cost of its two halves.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    If Caustic Bronco isn’t on the battlefield as its triggered ability resolves, use whether it was saddled or not before it left the battlefield to determine who loses life.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    “Saddle N” means “Tap any number of other untapped creatures you control with total power N or greater: This permanent becomes saddled until end of turn. Activate only as a sorcery.”

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  6. #6· Wizards of the Coast

    “Saddled” isn’t an ability that a creature has. It’s just something true about that creature. It won’t stop being saddled until the turn ends or it leaves the battlefield.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  7. #7· Wizards of the Coast

    Creatures with saddle can attack or block as normal even if they aren’t saddled.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  8. #8· Wizards of the Coast

    If a permanent becomes a copy of a saddled Mount, the copy won’t be saddled.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  9. #9· Wizards of the Coast

    You may activate a permanent’s saddle ability even if that permanent is already saddled.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  10. #10· Wizards of the Coast

    An ability that triggers when a creature “attacks while saddled” will trigger only if that creature was saddled when it was declared as an attacker.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
