Redcap Gutter-Dweller 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

Menace When this creature enters, create two 1/1 black Rat creature tokens with "This token can't block." At the beginning of your upkeep, you may sacrifice another creature. If you do, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature and exile the top card of your library. You may play that card this turn.

How it works : Redcap Gutter-Dweller

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If Redcap Gutter-Dweller leaves the battlefield after its last ability has triggered, you can still sacrifice a creature and exile the top card of your library, even though you won't put a +1/+1 counter on Redcap Gutter-Dweller.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    You pay all costs and follow all normal timing rules for cards played with the permission granted by Redcap Gutter-Dweller's last ability. For example, if the exiled card is a land card, you may play it only during your main phase while the stack is empty.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
