Giant Albatross 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.

Official card text

Flying When this creature dies, you may pay {1}{U}. If you do, for each creature that dealt damage to this creature this turn, destroy that creature unless its controller pays 2 life. A creature destroyed this way can't be regenerated.

How it works : Giant Albatross

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    The ability works even if the damage is redirected to the Albatross.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    The ability is a triggered ability and is only put on the stack once just after this card goes to the graveyard.
