Carte Magic Rootwater Matriarch

Rootwater Matriarch 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

{T}: Gain control of target creature for as long as that creature is enchanted.

How it works : Rootwater Matriarch

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    The control effect applies so long as at least one Aura is attached to the creature, and will continue to apply even if Rootwater Matriarch has left the battlefield. The effect ends if at any time the creature has no Auras on it.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Unlike many similar creatures, Rootwater Matriarch untaps as normal during your untap step. Whether it’s tapped or untapped has no bearing on the control-change effect.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    A creature is “enchanted” if it has any Auras attached to it.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    Can target an unenchanted creature but has no effect on that creature.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
