Carte Magic Sealock Monster

Sealock Monster 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

This creature can't attack unless defending player controls an Island. {5}{U}{U}: Monstrosity 3. (If this creature isn't monstrous, put three +1/+1 counters on it and it becomes monstrous.) When this creature becomes monstrous, target land becomes an Island in addition to its other types.

How it works : Sealock Monster

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    The effect making the land an Island doesn't have a duration and will last indefinitely. The land retains any land types and abilities it already had. An Island has the ability “{T}: Add {U}.”

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Once a creature becomes monstrous, it can't become monstrous again. If the creature is already monstrous when the monstrosity ability resolves, nothing happens.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Monstrous isn't an ability that a creature has. It's just something true about that creature. If the creature stops being a creature or loses its abilities, it will continue to be monstrous.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    An ability that triggers when a creature becomes monstrous won't trigger if that creature isn't on the battlefield when its monstrosity ability resolves.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
