Platoon Dispenser 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.
Official card text
At the beginning of your end step, if you control two or more other creatures, draw a card.: Create a 1/1 colorless Soldier artifact creature token. Unearth
How it works : Platoon Dispenser
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
You must control two or more other creatures both when the first ability triggers and when it resolves. If you control fewer than two other creatures at either time, you won't draw a card.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If you activate a card's unearth ability but that card is removed from your graveyard before the ability resolves, that unearth ability will do nothing as it resolves.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
Activating a card's unearth ability isn't the same as casting that card. The unearth ability is put on the stack, but the card is not. Spells and abilities that interact with activated abilities (such as Defabricate's second mode) will interact with unearth, but spells and abilities that interact with spells (such as Scatter Ray) will not.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
At the beginning of the next end step, a permanent returned to the battlefield with unearth is exiled. This is a delayed triggered ability, and it can be countered by effects such as Defabricate that counter triggered abilities. If the ability is countered, the permanent will stay on the battlefield and the delayed triggered ability won't trigger again. However, the replacement effect will still exile the permanent if it eventually leaves the battlefield.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #5· Wizards of the Coast
Unearth grants haste to the permanent that's returned to the battlefield (even if it's not a creature card). However, neither of the "exile" abilities is granted to that permanent. If that permanent loses all its abilities, it will still be exiled at the beginning of the next end step, and if it would leave the battlefield, it is still exiled instead.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #6· Wizards of the Coast
If a permanent returned to the battlefield with unearth would leave the battlefield for any reason, it's exiled instead—unless the spell or ability that's causing the permanent to leave the battlefield is actually trying to exile it! In that case, it succeeds at exiling it. If that spell or ability later returns the card to the battlefield (as Static Net might, for example), the permanent card will return to the battlefield as a new object with no relation to its previous existence. The unearth effects will no longer apply to it.
No other card is named in this ruling.
