Sapling of Colfenor 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.
Official card text
Indestructible Whenever Sapling of Colfenor attacks, reveal the top card of your library. If it's a creature card, you gain life equal to that card's toughness, lose life equal to its power, then put it into your hand.
How it works : Sapling of Colfenor
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Lethal damage and effects that say “destroy” won’t cause Sapling of Colfenor to be put into the graveyard. However, Sapling of Colfenor could be put into the graveyard if its toughness becomes 0 or less, if it’s sacrificed, or if you control another Sapling of Colfenor (due to the “legend rule”).
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
The triggered ability results in three sequential events: you gain some life (subject to effects that might alter life gain), then lose some life (subject to other effects that might alter life loss), and then put the card into your hand.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
If a creature card has “*” in its power or toughness, the ability that defines “*” works in all zones. Note that the card is in your library when Sapling of Colfenor’s ability checks the card’s power and toughness.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
If the revealed card is not a creature card, it remains on top of your library.
No other card is named in this ruling.
