Doorkeeper Thrull 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
Flash Flying Artifacts and creatures entering don't cause abilities to trigger.
How it works : Doorkeeper Thrull
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Triggered abilities use the word "when," "whenever," or "at." They're often written as "[Trigger condition], [effect]." Some keyword abilities are triggered abilities and will have "when," "whenever," or "at the beginning of" in their reminder text.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Replacement effects, such as a permanent entering the battlefield tapped or with counters on it, are unaffected. Abilities that apply "as [this permanent] enters the battlefield" are replacement effects.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
The trigger event doesn't have to specify artifacts or creatures entering the battlefield. For example, Tireless Tracker has an ability that says "Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, investigate." If an artifact land or creature land enters the battlefield under your control, that ability won't trigger. If a nonartifact, noncreature land enters the battlefield under your control, the ability will trigger.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
Look at the permanent as it exists on the battlefield, taking into account continuous effects, to determine whether any triggered abilities will trigger. For example, if you control Opalescence, which says, in part, "Each other non-Aura enchantment is a creature," each enchantment will be a creature at the time it enters the battlefield and will not cause triggered abilities to trigger.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #5· Wizards of the Coast
If Doorkeeper Thrull and another creature or an artifact enter the battlefield at the same time, neither one will cause triggered abilities to trigger when they enter the battlefield.
No other card is named in this ruling.
