Shriekwood Devourer 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
Trample Whenever you attack with one or more creatures, untap up to X lands, where X is the greatest power among those creatures.
How it works : Shriekwood Devourer
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
The value of X is calculated only once, as Shriekwood Devourer's last ability resolves. This means that the value of X may be different than you had hoped when attackers were declared if attacking creatures have left the battlefield or their power has changed.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Creatures that enter attacking were never declared as attackers, so Shriekwood Devourer's last ability won't take them into account.
No other card is named in this ruling.
