Carte Magic Fanatic of Rhonas

Fanatic of Rhonas 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

{T}: Add {G}. Ferocious — {T}: Add {G}{G}{G}{G}. Activate only if you control a creature with power 4 or greater. Eternalize {2}{G}{G} ({2}{G}{G}, Exile this card from your graveyard: Create a token that's a copy of it, except it's a 4/4 black Zombie Snake Druid with no mana cost. Eternalize only as a sorcery.)

How it works : Fanatic of Rhonas

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If a creature card with eternalize is put into your graveyard during your main phase, you'll have priority immediately afterward. You can activate its eternalize ability before any player can try to exile it.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Once you've activated an eternalize ability, the card is immediately exiled. Opponents can't try to stop the ability by exiling the card.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    The token copies exactly what was printed on the original card and nothing else, except the characteristics specifically modified by eternalize. It doesn't copy any information about the object the card was before it was put into your graveyard.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    The token is a Zombie in addition to its other types and is black instead of its other colors. Its base power and toughness are 4/4. It has no mana cost, and thus its mana value is 0. These are copiable values of the token that other effects may copy.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
