Carte Magic Headsplitter

Headsplitter 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

When this Equipment enters, create a 1/1 black Assassin creature token with menace, then attach this Equipment to it. Equipped creature gets +1/+0. Equip {2} ({2}: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery.)

How it works : Headsplitter

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    The Assassin token that you create enters the battlefield as a 1/1 creature. Any abilities that trigger when a creature with a certain power enters the battlefield will see the token enter as a 1/1 creature. Static abilities that affect the Assassin's power and toughness may change this.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    No player may take any actions between the time you create the Assassin token and the time Headsplitter becomes attached to it.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If the triggered ability causes two Assassins to be created (due to an effect such as that of Doubling Season), Headsplitter becomes attached to one of them.
