Cemetery Desecrator 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

Menace When this creature enters or dies, exile another card from a graveyard. When you do, choose one — • Remove X counters from target permanent, where X is the mana value of the exiled card. • Target creature an opponent controls gets -X/-X until end of turn, where X is the mana value of the exiled card.

How it works : Cemetery Desecrator

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    After you exile a card from a graveyard, another triggered ability goes on the stack. You choose the mode and target as you put that second ability on the stack, not before you exile a card.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    The controller of Cemetery Desecrator chooses which counters are removed, and they may remove more than one kind of counter. If the target permanent has fewer than X counters, all of them are removed.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
