Carte Magic Sigil of Distinction

Sigil of Distinction 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 Equipment enters with X charge counters on it. Equipped creature gets +1/+1 for each charge counter on this Equipment. Equip—Remove a charge counter from this Equipment.

How it works : Sigil of Distinction

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Removing a charge counter from Sigil of Distinction is the only way to pay for its equip ability. If it has no charge counters on it, its equip ability can't be activated.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If Sigil of Distinction is attached to a creature when its equip ability is activated targeting a different creature, the first creature will immediately get a little smaller because a charge counter has been removed from Sigil of Distinction as a cost. Then, when the equip ability resolves, Sigil of Distinction will move to the new creature and the first creature will lose the entire bonus the Equipment was giving it.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
