Jugan, the Rising Star 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
Flying When Jugan dies, you may distribute five +1/+1 counters among any number of target creatures.
How it works : Jugan, the Rising Star
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
You choose how many targets Jugan's triggered ability has and how the counters are distributed as you put the ability onto the stack. Each target must receive at least one counter.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If some of the creatures are illegal targets as Jugan's triggered ability tries to resolve, the original distribution of counters still applies and the counters that would have been put on the illegal targets are lost. They won't be put instead on a legal target.
No other card is named in this ruling.
