Carte Magic Keepsake Gorgon

Keepsake Gorgon 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

Deathtouch {5}{B}{B}: Monstrosity 1. (If this creature isn't monstrous, put a +1/+1 counter on it and it becomes monstrous.) When this creature becomes monstrous, destroy target non-Gorgon creature an opponent controls.

How it works : Keepsake Gorgon

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Once a creature becomes monstrous, it can't become monstrous again. If the creature is already monstrous when the monstrosity ability resolves, nothing happens.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Monstrous isn't an ability that a creature has. It's just something true about that creature. If the creature stops being a creature or loses its abilities, it will continue to be monstrous.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    An ability that triggers when a creature becomes monstrous won't trigger if that creature isn't on the battlefield when its monstrosity ability resolves.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
