Carte Magic Champion of Lambholt

Champion of Lambholt 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

Creatures with power less than this creature's power can't block creatures you control. Whenever another creature you control enters, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.

How it works : Champion of Lambholt

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Champion of Lambholt's first ability applies even if it isn't attacking.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    The comparison of power is done only when blockers are declared. Decreasing the power of a blocking creature (or increasing the power of Champion of Lambholt) after this point won't cause any creature to stop blocking or become unblocked.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
