High Alert 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
Each creature you control assigns combat damage equal to its toughness rather than its power. Creatures you control can attack as though they didn't have defender.: Untap target creature.
How it works : High Alert
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
High Alert’s first ability doesn’t actually change any creature’s power. It changes only the amount of combat damage it assigns. All other rules and effects that check power or toughness use the real values. For example, Titanic Brawl won’t cause a creature to fight with its toughness under High Alert.
No other card is named in this ruling.
