Carte Magic Gift of Tusks

Gift of Tusks 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

Until end of turn, target creature loses all abilities and becomes a green Elephant with base power and toughness 3/3.

How it works : Gift of Tusks

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    The creature will lose all other colors and creature types, but it will retain any other card types (such as artifact) or supertypes (such as legendary) it may have.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Gift of Tusks overwrites all previous effects that set the creature’s base power and toughness to specific values. Any power- or toughness-setting effects that start to apply after Gift of Tusks resolves will overwrite this effect.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Gift of Tusks doesn’t counter abilities that have already triggered or been activated. In particular, there is no way to cast this spell to stop a creature’s ability that says “At the beginning of your upkeep,” “When this creature enters the battlefield,” or similar from triggering.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    If the affected creature gains an ability after Gift of Tusks resolves, it will keep that ability.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    Effects that modify a creature’s power and/or toughness, such as the effect of Titanic Growth, will apply to the creature no matter when they started to take effect. The same is true for any counters that change its power and/or toughness and effects that switch its power and toughness.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
