Carte Magic Rith, the Awakener

Rith, the Awakener 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

Flying Whenever Rith deals combat damage to a player, you may pay {2}{G}. If you do, choose a color, then create a 1/1 green Saproling creature token for each permanent of that color.

How it works : Rith, the Awakener

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    You choose whether to pay {2}{G} as Rith's ability resolves. Once you make that choice, no player may take actions until the Saprolings are created (if you paid) and the ability has finished resolving.
