Jinxed Idol 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
At the beginning of your upkeep, this artifact deals 2 damage to you. Sacrifice a creature: Target opponent gains control of this artifact.
How it works : Jinxed Idol
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
The control-change effect has no duration. The targeted player retains control of Jinxed Idol until the game ends, Jinxed Idol leaves the battlefield, or an effect causes someone else to gain control of it (perhaps because Jinxed Idol’s ability is activated again).
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If you sacrifice an attacking or blocking creature during the declare blockers step, it won’t deal combat damage. If you wait until the combat damage step, but that creature is dealt lethal damage, it’ll be destroyed before you get a chance to sacrifice it.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
Your opponent can use the ability to give this card back to you.
No other card is named in this ruling.
