Carte Magic Orcish Squatters

Orcish Squatters 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

Whenever this creature attacks and isn't blocked, you may gain control of target land defending player controls for as long as you control this creature. If you do, this creature assigns no combat damage this turn.

How it works : Orcish Squatters

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    An ability that triggers when something “attacks and isn’t blocked” triggers in the declare blockers step after blockers are declared if (1) that creature is attacking and (2) no creatures are declared to block it. It will trigger even if that creature was put onto the battlefield attacking rather than having been declared as an attacker in the declare attackers step.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If you lose control of Orcish Squatters before its ability resolves, you won’t gain control of the targeted land at all.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    The ability triggers on the declaration of blockers if no blockers are declared for it.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
