Carte Magic Geist of Saint Traft

Geist of Saint Traft 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

Hexproof (This creature can't be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control.) Whenever Geist of Saint Traft attacks, create a 4/4 white Angel creature token with flying that's tapped and attacking. Exile that token at end of combat.

How it works : Geist of Saint Traft

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Scryfall

    Geist of Saint Traft is banned as a commander in Duel Commander format, but it may be part of your deck.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    You choose which player or planeswalker the Angel token is attacking. It doesn't have to be attacking the same player or planeswalker that Geist of Saint Traft is attacking.

    Card named in this ruling

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Although the Angel is an attacking creature, it was never declared as an attacking creature. This means that abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks won't trigger when it enters the battlefield attacking.

    Card named in this ruling

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    Any effects that say that the Angel can't attack (such as that of Propaganda) affect only the declaration of attackers. They won't stop the Angel token from entering the battlefield attacking.

    Card named in this ruling

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    If you create more than one Angel token (most likely due to Doubling Season), both are exiled at end of combat. On the other hand, if something else becomes a copy of the Angel token, the copy isn't exiled.
