Carte Magic Nessian Hornbeetle

Nessian Hornbeetle 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

At the beginning of combat on your turn, if you control another creature with power 4 or greater, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.

How it works : Nessian Hornbeetle

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If you don't control a creature with power 4 or greater as your combat phase begins, Nessian Hornbeetle's ability doesn't trigger. If you don't control one as the ability resolves, it has no effect. It doesn't have to be the same creature at both times, however.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Nessian Hornbeetle's ability only gives it one +1/+1 counter, no matter how many creatures with power 4 or greater you control beyond the first.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
