Carte Magic Murasa Rootgrazer

Murasa Rootgrazer 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

Vigilance {T}: You may put a basic land card from your hand onto the battlefield. {T}: Return target basic land you control to its owner's hand.

How it works : Murasa Rootgrazer

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Murasa Rootgrazer’s middle ability doesn’t count as playing a land. It can put a land card onto the battlefield even if you’ve already played your land for the turn.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Once Murasa Rootgrazer has attacked, you can activate either of its activated abilities. Doing so doesn’t remove it from combat. It remains an attacking creature and will deal and receive combat damage as normal.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
