Hired Claw 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
Whenever you attack with one or more Lizards, this creature deals 1 damage to target opponent.: Put a +1/+1 counter on this creature. Activate only if an opponent lost life this turn and only once each turn.
How it works : Hired Claw
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Hired Claw’s activated ability cares whether an opponent lost life this turn, not how their life total changed. For example, an opponent who gained 2 life and lost 1 life in the same turn still lost life.
No other card is named in this ruling.
