Carte Magic Enduring Scalelord

Enduring Scalelord 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

Flying Whenever one or more +1/+1 counters are put on another creature you control, you may put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.

How it works : Enduring Scalelord

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    A creature entering the battlefield with one or more +1/+1 counters on it will cause Enduring Scalelord's ability to trigger.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If +1/+1 counters are put on multiple creatures you control (other than Enduring Scalelord) at the same time, Enduring Scalelord's ability will trigger once for each of those creatures.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If you control two Enduring Scalelords, putting a +1/+1 counter on one of them will cause the ability of the other one to trigger. When this ability resolves, you'll put a +1/+1 counter on the other Scalelord. This will cause the ability of the first one to trigger. This loop will repeat until you choose not to put a +1/+1 counter on one of the Enduring Scalelords.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
