Ravenous Tyrannosaurus 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
Devour 3 (As this creature enters, you may sacrifice any number of creatures. It enters with three times that many +1/+1 counters on it.) Whenever this creature attacks, it deals damage equal to its power to up to one other target creature. Excess damage is dealt to that creature's controller instead.
How it works : Ravenous Tyrannosaurus
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Ravenous Tyrannosaurus can't devour creatures entering the battlefield at the same time as it.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Excess damage is calculated in a way similar to the way trample is handled. Start with the amount of damage being dealt to the creature and determine what is lethal. Usually, this is the creature's toughness minus the damage already marked on it, ignoring any replacement or prevention effects that will modify this damage. Also ignore whether the creature won't actually be destroyed by this damage, perhaps because it has indestructible.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
Once you've determined how much damage is excess, Ravenous Tyrannosaurus simultaneously deals damage to the target creature and its controller. This damage may be modified by replacement or prevention effects.
No other card is named in this ruling.
