Carte Magic Departed Deckhand

Departed Deckhand 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

When this creature becomes the target of a spell, sacrifice it. This creature can't be blocked except by Spirits. {3}{U}: Another target creature you control can't be blocked this turn except by Spirits.

How it works : Departed Deckhand

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    You'll sacrifice Departed Deckhand even if you counter the spell that targets it.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If the spell that targets Departed Deckhand has no other targets, it won't resolve (because it no longer has a legal target after Departed Deckhand is sacrificed).

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Activating Departed Deckhand's last ability after a creature has become blocked by a non-Spirit creature won't cause that creature to become unblocked.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
