Carte Magic Gargantuan Gorilla

Gargantuan Gorilla 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

At the beginning of your upkeep, you may sacrifice a Forest. If you sacrifice a snow Forest this way, this creature gains trample until end of turn. If you don't sacrifice a Forest, sacrifice this creature and it deals 7 damage to you. {T}: This creature deals damage equal to its power to another target creature. That creature deals damage equal to its power to this creature.

How it works : Gargantuan Gorilla

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Giving either creature first strike does not affect the ability.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If this leaves the battlefield before its activated ability resolves, it will still deal damage to the targeted creature. On the other hand, if the targeted creature leaves the battlefield before the ability resolves, the ability won't resolve and no damage will be dealt.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
