Carte Magic Charismatic Conqueror

Charismatic Conqueror 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

Vigilance Whenever an artifact or creature an opponent controls enters untapped, they may tap that permanent. If they don't, you create a 1/1 white Vampire creature token with lifelink.

How it works : Charismatic Conqueror

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If the permanent is tapped as the ability resolves, the opponent can't choose to tap it, so you'll create a Vampire token. Similarly, if it's no longer on the battlefield as the ability resolves, they can't choose to tap it, and you'll create a Vampire token.
