Carte Magic Droning Bureaucrats

Droning Bureaucrats 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

{X}, {T}: Each creature with mana value X can't attack or block this turn.

How it works : Droning Bureaucrats

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Droning Bureaucrats's ability affects all creatures with mana value equal to exactly X, regardless of whether they were on the battlefield at the time the ability resolved. For example, if the ability resolves with an X of 4, then Giant Solifuge is put onto the battlefield, the Solifuge can't attack or block that turn.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If you use Droning Bureaucrats's ability after you have declared attackers but before your opponent declares blockers, the restriction will apply to only your opponent's creatures. Creatures that are already attacking will be unaffected.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Creature lands and most token creatures have mana value 0. If a creature on the battlefield has {X} in its mana cost, treat X as 0.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
