Fire Whip 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
Enchant creature you control Enchanted creature has ": This creature deals 1 damage to any target." Sacrifice this Aura: It deals 1 damage to any target.
How it works : Fire Whip
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Remember that you tap the creature as part of the cost of activating Fire Whip's granted ability. So, if you have two Fire Whips on a creature activating the first one will tap the creature, so you can't use the second one or any other ability which requires tapping the creature until you find a way to untap it.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Fire Whip is put into the graveyard if you lose control of the creature since the card text says it can only enchant a creature you control.
No other card is named in this ruling.
