Carte Magic Interceptor, Shadow's Hound

Interceptor, Shadow's Hound 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

Menace Assassins you control have menace. Whenever you attack with one or more legendary creatures, you may pay {2}{B}. If you do, return this card from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped and attacking.

How it works : Interceptor, Shadow's Hound

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Although Interceptor's last ability causes it to enter attacking, it was never declared as an attacking creature. Abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks won't trigger when it enters attacking.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    As Interceptor returns to the battlefield because of its triggered ability, you choose which player, planeswalker, or battle it's attacking. It doesn't have to attack the same player, planeswalker, or battle as your legendary creatures.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
