Elemental Bond 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
Whenever a creature you control with power 3 or greater enters, draw a card.
How it works : Elemental Bond
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
The creature must have power 3 or greater as it enters, or Elemental Bond's ability won't trigger. Static abilities that raise (or lower) a creature's power are taken into account. However, you can't have a creature with power 2 or less enter and try to raise its power with a spell, an activated ability, or a triggered ability.
No other card is named in this ruling.
