Kragma WarcallerHow it works & interactions with other cards

Hasty Horns

The first ability of Kragma Warcaller is a static effect that gives all Minotaur creatures you control haste. This includes Kragma Warcaller itself, as it has the Minotaur creature type. This allows any Minotaur to attack or use abilities with the tap symbol the same turn they enter the battlefield, provided you control them from the start of the combat phase.

The Attack Trigger

The second ability is a triggered ability that triggers whenever a Minotaur you control is declared as an attacker. Each attacking Minotaur triggers this ability separately. When these triggers resolve, the respective Minotaur gets +2/+0 until the end of the turn. This boost happens during the Declare Attackers step, well before blockers are chosen or combat damage is dealt.

Timing and Strategy

Because the +2/+0 is an attack trigger, Minotaurs that are put onto the battlefield already attacking do not trigger this ability; they must be declared as attackers to get the bonus. To maximize the impact, ensure Kragma Warcaller is on the battlefield before you move to the combat phase, as its haste aura must be active for new creatures to charge in.

Interaction examples

Doubling the Stampede

Roaming Throne

If you play Roaming Throne and choose Minotaur, it becomes a Minotaur and gains haste from Kragma Warcaller. When you attack with Kragma Warcaller, Roaming Throne's ability causes Kragma Warcaller's attack trigger to fire twice. Kragma Warcaller will get +4/+0 total. Similarly, when Roaming Throne attacks, it also triggers Kragma Warcaller's ability twice, receiving a total of +4/+0 itself.

Unlikely Allies

Solemn Simulacrum

When you have Kragma Warcaller on the battlefield and cast Solemn Simulacrum, the Golem does not gain haste because it is not a Minotaur. When you attack with Kragma Warcaller, it will trigger its own ability to become a 4/3, but Solemn Simulacrum will not receive a bonus even if it were able to attack through other means, as the buff is strictly limited to the Minotaur subtype.
