How it works : Lumengrid Drake

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    The triggered ability is mandatory. If you control three or more artifacts as Lumengrid Drake enters, you must target a creature. If there are no other creatures on the battlefield, you must target Lumengrid Drake itself. As the ability resolves, if you control three or more artifacts, you must return the targeted creature to its owner's hand.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
