Prairie Dog 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

Lifelink At the beginning of your end step, if you haven't cast a spell from your hand this turn, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature. {4}{W}: Until end of turn, if you would put one or more +1/+1 counters on a creature you control, put that many plus one +1/+1 counters on it instead.

How it works : Prairie Dog

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    At the beginning of your end step, Prairie Dog’s triggered ability will check to see if you’ve cast a spell from your hand this turn. If you have, the ability won’t trigger at all. If the ability does trigger, it will check again as it tries to resolve. If you’ve cast a spell from your hand since the ability triggered, the ability won’t do anything.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If a creature you control would enter the battlefield with a number of +1/+1 counters on it on a turn where Prairie Dog’s last ability has resolved once, it enters with that many plus one instead.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    You can activate Prairie Dog’s last ability multiple times in a single turn. If it resolves twice, the number of +1/+1 counters put on a creature you control is two plus the original number. Three activations and resolutions add three, and so on.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    If two or more effects attempt to modify how many counters would be put onto a permanent you control, you choose the order to apply those effects, no matter who controls the sources of those effects.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
