Carte Magic Reverent Hoplite

Reverent Hoplite 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

When this creature enters, create a number of 1/1 white Human Soldier creature tokens equal to your devotion to white. (Each {W} in the mana costs of permanents you control counts toward your devotion to white.)

How it works : Reverent Hoplite

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Colorless and generic mana symbols ({C}, {0}, {1}, {2}, {X}, and so on) in mana costs of permanents you control don’t count toward your devotion to any color.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Mana symbols in the text boxes of permanents you control don’t count toward your devotion to any color.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Hybrid mana symbols, monocolored hybrid mana symbols, and Phyrexian mana symbols do count toward your devotion to their color(s).

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    If you put an Aura on an opponent’s permanent, you still control the Aura, and mana symbols in its mana cost count towards your devotion.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    If an activated ability or triggered ability has an effect that depends on your devotion to a color, you count the number of mana symbols of that color among the mana costs of permanents you control as the ability resolves. The permanent with that ability will be counted if it’s still on the battlefield at that time.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
