Ixidron 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.
Official card text
As this creature enters, turn all other nontoken creatures face down. (They're 2/2 creatures.) Ixidron's power and toughness are each equal to the number of face-down creatures on the battlefield.
How it works : Ixidron
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Creatures turned face down by Ixidron are 2/2 creatures with no text, no name, no subtypes, no expansion symbol, and no mana cost. These values are copiable if an object becomes a copy of one of those creatures, and their normal values are not copiable.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If Ixidron and another creature are entering at the same time, the other creature enters face up.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
The controller of a face-down creature can look at it at any time, even if it doesn't have morph. Other players can't, but the rules for face-down permanents state that "you must ensure at all times that your face-down spells and permanents can be easily differentiated from each other." As a result, all players must be able to figure out what each of the creatures Ixidron turned face down is.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
You turn the creatures face-down *as* Ixidron enters. There is never a moment when Ixidron is on the battlefield and the creatures are face-up. If a creature on the battlefield has a "whenever another creature enters" ability, it won't trigger because that creature will be face down before Ixidron enters.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #5· Wizards of the Coast
Turning a face-down creature face-down typically has no effect; the creature's status is unchanged.
No other card is named in this ruling.
