Carte Magic Congregation Gryff

Congregation Gryff 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

Flying, lifelink Whenever this creature attacks while saddled, it gets +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the number of Mounts you control. Saddle 3 (Tap any number of other creatures you control with total power 3 or more: This Mount becomes saddled until end of turn. Saddle only as a sorcery.)

How it works : Congregation Gryff

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    You may activate a permanent’s saddle ability even if that permanent is already saddled.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    An ability that triggers when a creature “attacks while saddled” will trigger only if that creature was saddled when it was declared as an attacker.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    The value of X is determined as Congregation Gryff’s ability resolves. As long as Congregation Gryff is still on the battlefield at that time, X is likely to be at least 1.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    “Saddle N” means “Tap any number of other untapped creatures you control with total power N or greater: This permanent becomes saddled until end of turn. Activate only as a sorcery.”

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    “Saddled” isn’t an ability that a creature has. It’s just something true about that creature. It won’t stop being saddled until the turn ends or it leaves the battlefield.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  6. #6· Wizards of the Coast

    Creatures with saddle can attack or block as normal even if they aren’t saddled.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  7. #7· Wizards of the Coast

    If a permanent becomes a copy of a saddled Mount, the copy won’t be saddled.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
