Official card text
When Squidnapper enters, gain control of target creature an opponent controls until Squidnapper leaves the battlefield or that player pays the ransom. Ransom —and 2 life
How it works : Squidnapper
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
If Squidnapper leaves the battlefield before its triggered ability resolves, you won’t gain control of the target creature at all.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Paying a ransom cost to end an effect is a special action. The card’s owner may pay that cost any time they have priority, and players can’t take actions in between the time the player announces their intent to pay and the time the card returns to the zone from which it came.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
If a card with a ransom ability loses that ability, it has no ransom cost. No player may pay its ransom cost.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
Pay no attention to any other card in this set using the word “ransom” when determining how Squidnapper’s ransom ability works.
No other card is named in this ruling.
