Carte Magic Nightpack Ambusher

Nightpack Ambusher 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

Flash Other Wolves and Werewolves you control get +1/+1. At the beginning of your end step, if you didn't cast a spell this turn, create a 2/2 green Wolf creature token.

How it works : Nightpack Ambusher

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    A creature that’s both a Wolf and a Werewolf gets only +1/+1 from Nightpack Ambusher’s ability.

    Card named in this ruling

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Because damage remains marked on a creature until it’s removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to other Wolves and Werewolves you control may become lethal if Nightpack Ambusher leaves the battlefield during that turn.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Nightpack Ambusher looks at the entire turn to see if you have cast a spell, even if Nightpack Ambusher wasn’t on the battlefield when that spell was cast. Notably, you won’t get a Wolf token during your end step if you cast Nightpack Ambusher during your turn.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    If you cast a spell that was countered, Nightpack Ambusher’s last ability doesn’t trigger.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
