Carte Magic Liberated Livestock

Liberated Livestock 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

When this creature dies, create a 1/1 white Cat creature token with lifelink, a 1/1 white Bird creature token with flying, and a 2/4 white Ox creature token. For each of those tokens, you may put an Aura card from your hand and/or graveyard onto the battlefield attached to it.

How it works : Liberated Livestock

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If you attempt to put an Aura onto the battlefield this way and that Aura can't legally be attached to the token, that Aura does not enter the battlefield at all. Instead, it will stay in its previous zone.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If Liberated Livestock's ability causes more than the expected number of tokens to be created (due to an effect such as that of Doubling Season), you may put an Aura card from your hand and/or graveyard onto the battlefield attached to each of the additional tokens as well.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
