Carte Magic Devouring Hellion

Devouring Hellion 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

As this creature enters, you may sacrifice any number of creatures and/or planeswalkers. If you do, it enters with twice that many +1/+1 counters on it.

How it works : Devouring Hellion

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    You choose how many and which creatures and planeswalkers to sacrifice for Devouring Hellion’s ability while it’s entering the battlefield. No player may take actions between the time you choose which permanents to sacrifice and the time Devouring Hellion is on the battlefield with those counters.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If any of the sacrificed permanents have abilities that trigger when Devouring Hellion enters the battlefield (such as that of Kronch Wrangler), those abilities won’t trigger.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If Devouring Hellion somehow enters the battlefield at the same time as another creature or planeswalker, you can’t sacrifice that creature or planeswalker. You may choose only permanents that are already on the battlefield.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
