Carte Magic Long River Lurker

Long River Lurker 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

Ward {1} Other Frogs you control have ward {1}. When this creature enters, target creature you control can't be blocked this turn. Whenever that creature deals combat damage this turn, you may exile it. If you do, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control.

How it works : Long River Lurker

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Once a ward ability of another Frog has triggered, causing it to lose ward by removing Long River Lurker or changing its creature types won't affect that ability. The appropriate player will still have to pay {1} or have their spell or ability countered.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Once the exiled permanent returns, it's considered a new object with no relation to the object that it was. Auras attached to the exiled permanent will be put into their owners' graveyards. Equipment attached to the exiled permanent will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on the exiled permanent will cease to exist.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If a token is exiled this way, it will cease to exist and won't return to the battlefield.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
