Carte Magic Nighthowl Pursuer

Nighthowl Pursuer 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

Menace (This creature can't be blocked except by two or more creatures.) Ferocious — Whenever this creature attacks while you control a creature with power 4 or greater, this creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn.

How it works : Nighthowl Pursuer

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Nighthowl Pursuer's triggered ability will check when it attacks to see if you control a creature with power 4 or greater. If you don't, the ability won't trigger at all. It will not check again when it resolves, so the ability will resolve even if you no longer control a creature with power 4 or greater.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
