Carte Magic Knockout Maneuver

Knockout Maneuver 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

Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature you control, then it deals damage equal to its power to target creature an opponent controls.

How it works : Knockout Maneuver

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    You can't cast Knockout Maneuver unless you choose a creature you control and a creature an opponent controls as targets.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If either creature is an illegal target as Knockout Maneuver resolves, the creature you control won't deal damage. If the creature you control is an illegal target, you won't put a +1/+1 counter on it even if it's still on the battlefield.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
