Carte Magic Salt Road Ambushers

Salt Road Ambushers 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

Whenever another permanent you control is turned face up, if it's a creature, put two +1/+1 counters on it. Megamorph {3}{G}{G} (You may cast this card face down as a 2/2 creature for {3}. Turn it face up any time for its megamorph cost and put a +1/+1 counter on it.)

How it works : Salt Road Ambushers

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    The face-down permanent must be a creature both before it's turned face up and when the triggered ability resolves to have +1/+1 counters placed on it.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Turning a face-down creature with megamorph face up and putting a +1/+1 counter on it is a special action. It doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If a face-down creature with megamorph is turned face up some other way (for example, if you manifest a card with megamorph and then pay its mana cost to turn it face up), you won't put a +1/+1 counter on it.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    Megamorph is a variant of the morph ability. You can find more information on morph on cards with morph from the Khans of Tarkir set.
