Carte Magic Sarinth Greatwurm

Sarinth Greatwurm 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

Trample Whenever a land enters, create a tapped Powerstone token. (It's an artifact with "{T}: Add {C}. This mana can't be spent to cast a nonartifact spell.")

How it works : Sarinth Greatwurm

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Sarinth Greatwurm's second ability triggers whenever a land enters the battlefield under any player's control, not just under your control.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Powerstone tokens are a kind of predefined token. Each one has the artifact subtype "Powerstone" and the ability "{T}: Add {C}. This mana can't be spent to cast a nonartifact spell."

    Card named in this ruling

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    You can use the {C} added by a Powerstone token on anything that isn't a nonartifact spell. This includes paying costs to activate abilities of both artifact and nonartifact permanents, paying ward costs, and so on.

    Card named in this ruling

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    Although all the cards in The Brothers' War that create Powerstone tokens create a tapped Powerstone token, entering the battlefield tapped isn't part of the token's definition. Notably, if you create a token that is a copy of a Powerstone token, the token copy won't enter the battlefield tapped.
