Carte Magic Grovetender Druids

Grovetender Druids 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

Rally — Whenever this creature or another Ally you control enters, you may pay {1}. If you do, create a 1/1 green Plant creature token.

How it works : Grovetender Druids

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    When an Ally enters the battlefield under your control, each rally 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.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If a creature with a rally ability enters the battlefield under your control at the same time as other Allies, that ability will trigger once for each of those creatures and once for the creature with the ability itself.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
