Carte Magic Duel for Dominance

Duel for Dominance 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

Coven — Choose target creature you control and target creature you don't control. If you control three or more creatures with different powers, put a +1/+1 counter on the chosen creature you control. Then the chosen creatures fight each other. (Each deals damage equal to its power to the other.)

How it works : Duel for Dominance

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Only the +1/+1 counter is contingent on having three or more creatures with different powers. The target creatures will still fight even if you don't have three or more creatures with different powers when Duel for Dominance resolves.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If you control three or more creatures with different powers and the target creature you control is still a legal target as Duel for Dominance resolves but the target creature you don't control isn't, you will still put a +1/+1 counter on the creature you control. It isn't much of a duel, but your creature is still dominant.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
