Carte Magic Michelangelo, Weirdness to 11

Michelangelo, Weirdness to 11 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

When Michelangelo enters, create a Mutagen token. (It's an artifact with "{1}, {T}, Sacrifice this token: Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature. Activate only as a sorcery.") If one or more +1/+1 counters would be put on a creature you control, that many plus one +1/+1 counters are put on it instead.

How it works : Michelangelo, Weirdness to 11

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    In the unusual case where you control more than one Michelangelo, Weirdness to 11, each one you control will increase the number of +1/+1 counters placed on a creature you control by one.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Some spells and abilities that create Mutagen tokens require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve. The Mutagen token won't be created.
