Lurebound Scarecrow 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
As this creature enters, choose a color. When you control no permanents of the chosen color, sacrifice this creature.
How it works : Lurebound Scarecrow
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
If you control a Lurebound Scarecrow but no color was chosen for it (perhaps because your Cemetery Puca turned into a Lurebound Scarecrow), the trigger condition will have an undefined value in it. It’ll never trigger, so you won’t have to sacrifice the Scarecrow.
No other card is named in this ruling.
