Ember Swallower 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
: Monstrosity 3. (If this creature isn't monstrous, put three +1/+1 counters on it and it becomes monstrous.) When this creature becomes monstrous, each player sacrifices three lands of their choice.
How it works : Ember Swallower
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
When the last ability resolves, the active player will choose three lands they control, then each other player in turn order will do the same. Then all of those lands are sacrificed at the same time.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Once a creature becomes monstrous, it can't become monstrous again. If the creature is already monstrous when the monstrosity ability resolves, nothing happens.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
Monstrous isn't an ability that a creature has. It's just something true about that creature. If the creature stops being a creature or loses its abilities, it will continue to be monstrous.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
An ability that triggers when a creature becomes monstrous won't trigger if that creature isn't on the battlefield when its monstrosity ability resolves.
No other card is named in this ruling.
