Carte Magic Grappling Kraken

Grappling Kraken 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

Landfall — Whenever a land you control enters, tap target creature an opponent controls and put a stun counter on it. (If a permanent with a stun counter would become untapped, remove one from it instead.)

How it works : Grappling Kraken

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    You may target a creature that's already tapped with Grappling Kraken's ability. In that case, you'll just put a stun counter on that creature.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    A landfall ability triggers whenever a land you control enters for any reason. It triggers whenever you play a land, as well as whenever a spell or ability puts a land onto the battlefield under your control.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    A landfall ability doesn't trigger if a permanent already on the battlefield becomes a land.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    Whenever a land you control enters, each landfall ability of the permanents you control will trigger. You can put them   on the stack in any order. The last ability you put on the stack will be the first one to resolve (As a result, you can have those abilities resolve in the order of your choosing.).

    No other card is named in this ruling.
