Carte Magic Lashwrithe

Lashwrithe 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

Living weapon (When this Equipment enters, create a 0/0 black Phyrexian Germ creature token, then attach this to it.) Equipped creature gets +1/+1 for each Swamp you control. Equip {B/P}{B/P} ({B/P} can be paid with either {B} or 2 life.)

How it works : Lashwrithe

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    The Germ token enters the battlefield as a 0/0 creature and the Equipment becomes attached to it before state-based actions would cause the token to die. Abilities that trigger as the token enters the battlefield see that a 0/0 creature entered the battlefield.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Like other Equipment, each Equipment with living weapon has an equip cost. You can pay this cost to attach an Equipment to another creature you control. Once the Germ token is no longer equipped, it will be put into your graveyard and subsequently cease to exist, unless another effect raises its toughness above 0.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If the Germ token is destroyed, the Equipment remains on the battlefield as with any other Equipment.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    If the living weapon trigger causes two Germs to be created (due to an effect such as that of Doubling Season), the Equipment becomes attached to one of them. The other will be put into your graveyard and subsequently cease to exist, unless another effect raises its toughness above 0.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
