Official card text
Trample When this creature enters, sacrifice it unless you sacrifice any number of creatures with total power 12 or greater.
How it works : Phyrexian Dreadnought
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
If you are unable to sacrifice 12 power worth of creatures, then you cannot choose that option; in that case, you must sacrifice Phyrexian Dreadnought.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Reverted to its original wording, this now has an "enters" triggered ability. During resolution of the triggered ability, you choose one option or the other.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
If the Dreadnought is no longer on the battlefield when the triggered ability resolves, you may still choose either option.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
The sacrifices are simultaneous, not one at a time.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #5· Wizards of the Coast
Phasing in does not trigger "enters" abilities, so you don't have to sacrifice again if it phases in.
No other card is named in this ruling.
