Shadowborn Demon 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
Flying When this creature enters, destroy target non-Demon creature. At the beginning of your upkeep, if there are fewer than six creature cards in your graveyard, sacrifice a creature.
How it works : Shadowborn Demon
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Shadowborn Demon’s enters-the-battlefield ability is mandatory. If you control the only non-Demon creature, you must choose it as the target.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
The last ability checks whether you have fewer than six creature cards in your graveyard when it would trigger. If you have six or more, it won’t trigger at all. The ability will check again when it tries to resolve. If at that time you have six or more, the ability won’t do anything.
No other card is named in this ruling.
