Carte Magic Cindering Cutthroat

Cindering Cutthroat 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

This creature enters with a +1/+1 counter on it if an opponent lost life this turn. {1}{B/R}: This creature gains menace until end of turn. (It can't be blocked except by two or more creatures.)

How it works : Cindering Cutthroat

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Cindering Cutthroat's first ability cares whether an opponent lost life this turn, not how their life total changed. For example, an opponent who gained 2 life and lost 1 life in the same turn still lost life.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Once Cindering Cutthroat has been blocked by a single creature, activating its last ability won't cause it to become unblocked.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
