Elvish Mariner 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.

Official card text
Whenever this creature attacks, scry 1. Whenever you scry, tap up to X target nonland permanents, where X is the number of cards looked at while scrying this way.
