Carte Magic Start Your Engines

Start Your Engines 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

Vehicles you control become artifact creatures until end of turn. Creatures you control get +2/+0 until end of turn.

How it works : Start Your Engines

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Vehicles you control become artifact creatures and then also get +2/+0.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    The set of Vehicles and creatures affected by Start Your Engines is determined as the spell resolves. Creatures you begin to control later in the turn won't get +2/+0, and Vehicles you begin to control later in the turn won't automatically become creatures and won't get +2/+0.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
