Carte Magic Rude Awakening

Rude Awakening 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

Choose one — • Untap all lands you control. • Until end of turn, lands you control become 2/2 creatures that are still lands. Entwine {2}{G} (Choose both if you pay the entwine cost.)

How it works : Rude Awakening

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Lands that enter the battlefield or otehrwise come under your control after Rude Awakening resolves won’t be affected.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    A noncreature permanent that turns into a creature can attack, and its {T} abilities can be activated, only if its controller has continuously controlled that permanent since the beginning of their most recent turn. It doesn’t matter how long the permanent has been a creature.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
