Covetous Dragon 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.
Official card text
Flying When you control no artifacts, sacrifice this creature.
How it works : Covetous Dragon
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
The ability will trigger if you don’t control an artifact, even for a brief moment during the resolution of another spell or ability.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
The ability only checks if you control no artifacts at the time it triggers. It does not check again on resolution. So gaining control of an artifact before then will not save the Dragon.
No other card is named in this ruling.
