Carte Magic Stampeding Wildebeests

Stampeding Wildebeests 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

Trample (This creature can deal excess combat damage to the player or planeswalker it's attacking.) At the beginning of your upkeep, return a green creature you control to its owner's hand.

How it works : Stampeding Wildebeests

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    The ability that returns a creature doesn’t target anything. You can return a creature with shroud or protection from green, for example. You don’t decide which creature to return until the ability resolves. If you control no other green creatures, you must return Stampeding Wildebeests itself.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    You choose a creature and return it all during resolution of the triggered ability. This means that if you have two Wildebeests, there is no way to end up returning only one creature.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
