Genku, Future Shaper 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
Whenever another nontoken permanent you control leaves the battlefield, choose one that hasn't been chosen this turn. Create a creature token with those characteristics. • 2/2 white Fox with vigilance. • 1/2 blue Moonfolk with flying. • 1/1 black Rat with lifelink.: Put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control.
How it works : Genku, Future Shaper
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
If multiple other nontoken permanents you control leave the battlefield simultaneously, you must still choose different modes for each instance of the triggered ability that's put onto the stack. If more than three other nontoken permanents you control leave the battlefield simultaneously, that choice is made only for the first three.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If Genku and one or more other nontoken permanents you control leave the battlefield at the same time, Genku's ability will trigger for each of those other nontoken permanents.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
If you can't legally choose a mode because all three have been chosen that turn, that instance of the ability is removed from the stack with no effect.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
If you somehow control two or more Genku, Future Shapers, track which modes have been chosen each turn for each one's ability separately.
