Carte Magic Ian the Reckless

Ian the Reckless 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 Ian the Reckless attacks, if it's modified, you may have it deal damage equal to its power to you and any target. (Equipment, Auras you control, and counters are modifications.)

How it works : Ian the Reckless

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If Ian the Reckless isn’t modified when it attacks, its ability won’t trigger at all. When its ability tries to resolve, if it isn’t modified at that time, the ability won’t resolve.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If Ian the Reckless leaves the battlefield before its last ability resolves, as long as it was modified when it was last on the battlefield, use its power as it last existed on the battlefield to determine how much damage that ability deals.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
