Official card text
Sacrifice this creature: Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature. Then if that creature's toughness is 1 or greater, regenerate it.
How it works : Gore Vassal
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
You can activate Gore Vassal’s ability targeting itself, but it won’t get a -1/-1 counter or regenerate because it’ll be an illegal target when the ability resolves.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
The regeneration shield will last until the turn ends or until it’s used.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
Let’s say you activate Gore Vassal’s ability targeting a creature with 3 toughness and 2 damage marked on it. The regeneration shield will be created just before the creature is destroyed for having damage marked on it equal to or greater than its toughness. The creature will then regenerate. That is, all damage will be removed from it and it will become tapped; any counters on the creature, including the -1/-1 counter put on by this ability, remain.
No other card is named in this ruling.
