Carte Magic Chimeric Idol

Chimeric Idol 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

{0}: Tap all lands you control. This artifact becomes a 3/3 Turtle artifact creature until end of turn.

How it works : Chimeric Idol

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    A noncreature permanent that turns into a creature can attack, and its {T} abilities can be activated, only if its controller has continuously controlled that permanent since the beginning of their most recent turn. It doesn't matter how long the permanent has been a creature.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Your lands are tapped as part of the effect, not part of the cost.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
