Hot Pursuit 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.

How it works : Hot Pursuit
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
If Hot Pursuit leaves the battlefield before its first triggered ability resolves, the target creature will become suspected, but it won’t become goaded at all.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Hot Pursuit’s second triggered ability causes you to gain control of all creatures that are goaded, suspected, or both. You don’t have to make any choices.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
When an effect suspects a creature, it becomes suspected. It gains menace and "This creature can't block" for as long as it’s suspected. It stays suspected until it leaves the battlefield or another effect causes it to no longer be suspected.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
If a suspected creature loses all abilities, it will lose menace and "This creature can't block", but it won’t stop being suspected.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #5· Wizards of the Coast
Being suspected isn’t a copiable value. If a permanent becomes a copy of a suspected creature, it won’t be suspected.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #6· Wizards of the Coast
If a creature is already suspected, suspecting it again won’t have any effect.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #7· Wizards of the Coast
There’s no limit to the number of creatures that can be suspected simultaneously. Suspecting a new creature doesn’t cause other creatures to stop being suspected.
No other card is named in this ruling.
