Heiko Yamazaki, the General 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

Trample Whenever a Samurai or Warrior you control attacks alone, you may cast target artifact card from your graveyard this turn.

How it works : Heiko Yamazaki, the General

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    A creature attacks alone if it's the only creature declared as an attacker during the declare attackers step. For example, Heiko Yamazaki's triggered ability won't trigger if you attack with multiple creatures and all but one of them are removed from combat.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    You must still pay all costs and follow all normal timing rules when casting an artifact from your graveyard this way. Normally, this means you will not be able to cast that card until your post-combat main phase.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
