Join the Dead 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
Target creature gets -5/-5 until end of turn. Descend 4 — That creature gets -10/-10 until end of turn instead if there are four or more permanent cards in your graveyard.
How it works : Join the Dead
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Cards with the ability word "descend N" have abilities that care if you have at least N permanent cards in your graveyard.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Some descend triggered abilities include intervening "if" clauses (i.e. "if you have [four or eight] permanent cards in your graveyard" in the middle of the ability). Each of these abilities checks your graveyard at the moment it would trigger to see if it does. If you don't have the required number of permanent cards in your graveyard at that time, the ability doesn't trigger at all. If it does trigger, it will check again as it tries to resolve. If you don't have the required number of permanent cards in your graveyard at that time, the ability won't resolve and none of its effects will happen.
No other card is named in this ruling.
