Magus of the Bridge 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
Whenever a nontoken creature is put into your graveyard from the battlefield, create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token. When a creature is put into an opponent's graveyard from the battlefield, exile this creature.
How it works : Magus of the Bridge
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Unlike its namesake, Bridge from Below, the Magus's abilities work only while it's on the battlefield. They do not work while it is in your graveyard.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Neither ability cares who controlled the creature that died, only which graveyard it was put into. This means that if an opponent controls a creature you own, its death causes Magus of the Bridge's first ability to trigger, not its second.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
A token's owner is the player who created it, which may be different from the player who controls it or, in some weird cases, different than the player under whose control it entered the battlefield.
No other card is named in this ruling.
