Carte Magic Elite Scaleguard

Elite Scaleguard 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

When this creature enters, bolster 2. (Choose a creature with the least toughness among creatures you control and put two +1/+1 counters on it.) Whenever a creature you control with a +1/+1 counter on it attacks, tap target creature defending player controls.

How it works : Elite Scaleguard

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Bolster itself doesn't target any creature, though some spells and abilities that bolster may have other effects that target creatures. For example, you could put counters on a creature with protection from white with Abzan Skycaptain's bolster ability.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    You determine which creature to put counters on as the spell or ability that instructs you to bolster resolves.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
