Carte Magic Lizard Blades

Lizard Blades 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

Double strike Equipped creature has double strike. Reconfigure {2} ({2}: Attach to target creature you control; or unattach from a creature. Reconfigure only as a sorcery. While attached, this isn't a creature.)

How it works : Lizard Blades

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Reconfigure represents two activated abilities. Reconfigure [cost] means “[Cost]: Attach this permanent to another target creature you control. Activate only as a sorcery,” and “[Cost]: Unattach this permanent. Activate only if this permanent is attached to a creature and only as a sorcery.”

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Attaching an Equipment with reconfigure to a creature causes that Equipment to stop being a creature until it becomes unattached. It also loses any creature subtypes it had.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    An Equipment doesn't become tapped when the permanent it's attached to becomes tapped. For example, if you attack with a creature that is equipped with Acquisition Octopus, then use reconfigure to unattach Acquisition Octopus after combat, the Octopus will be untapped and could be used to block during your opponent's turn.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    Similarly, if an Equipment is tapped, its reconfigure abilities may still be activated and it may still become attached to creatures. Becoming attached doesn't untap it. In most cases, an attached Equipment being tapped won't affect gameplay, but it will be relevant if it becomes unattached again before it untaps.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    If an Equipment with reconfigure somehow loses its abilities while it is attached, the effect causing it to not be a creature continues to apply until it becomes unattached.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  6. #6· Wizards of the Coast

    As soon as an Equipment creature with reconfigure stops being a creature, any Equipment and Auras with enchant creature abilities become unattached. Auras that can enchant an Equipment that isn't a creature remain attached to it.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  7. #7· Wizards of the Coast

    An Equipment creature with reconfigure can be attached to creatures by effects other than its reconfigure ability, such as the activated ability of Brass Squire.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  8. #8· Wizards of the Coast

    Although it causes an Equipment to become attached to a creature, reconfigure is not an “equip ability” for the purpose of cards like Fighter Class and Leonin Shikari.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  9. #9· Wizards of the Coast

    An Equipment creature can never become attached to itself. If an effect tries to do this, nothing happens.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  10. #10· Wizards of the Coast

    If a permanent with reconfigure is somehow still a creature after it becomes attached (perhaps due to an effect like that of March of the Machines), it immediately becomes unattached from the equipped creature.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
