Carte Magic Razor Boomerang

Razor Boomerang 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

Equipped creature has "{T}, Unattach Razor Boomerang: It deals 1 damage to any target. Return Razor Boomerang to its owner's hand." Equip {2}

How it works : Razor Boomerang

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    The source of the damage is Razor Boomerang, not the equipped creature. However, the equipped creature’s ability is what targets the permanent or player. If Razor Boomerang is equipped to a red creature, for example, the ability couldn’t target a creature with protection from red. It could target a creature with protection from artifacts, but all the damage would be prevented.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Unattaching Razor Boomerang is a cost to activate the equipped creature’s ability.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If Razor Boomerang is no longer on the battlefield by time the equipped creature’s ability resolves, it’s not returned to its owner’s hand. The rest of the ability resolves as normal, so Razor Boomerang will still deal damage to the targeted creature.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    If the targeted creature is an illegal target by the time the equipped creature’s ability resolves, the entire ability doesn’t resolve. Razor Boomerang remains on the battlefield unattached.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
