Carte Magic Druid's Familiar

Druid's Familiar 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

Soulbond (You may pair this creature with another unpaired creature when either enters. They remain paired for as long as you control both of them.) As long as this creature is paired with another creature, each of those creatures gets +2/+2.

How it works : Druid's Familiar

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If Druid’s Familiar becomes unpaired, it will immediately lose the +2/+2 bonus. If this causes it to have damage marked on it equal to it or greater than its new toughness, it will be destroyed. The same is true for the creature it was paired with.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
