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.
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(
: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery.)
How it works : Headsplitter
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #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.
