Carte Magic Elvish Archdruid

Elvish Archdruid 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

Other Elf creatures you control get +1/+1. {T}: Add {G} for each Elf you control.

How it works : Elvish Archdruid

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Elvish Archdruid's activated ability is a mana ability. It doesn't use the stack and players can't respond to it.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Elvish Archdruid's first ability affects only other Elves you control. However, Elvish Archdruid's second ability counts all Elves you control — including itself.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
