Strict Proctor 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
Flying Whenever a permanent entering causes a triggered ability to trigger, counter that ability unless its controller pays.
How it works : Strict Proctor
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Triggered abilities use the word “when,” “whenever,” or “at.” They’re often written as “[Trigger condition], [effect].”
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Effects that modify how a creature enters the battlefield are not triggered abilities and are not affected by Strict Proctor’s ability. These include (but aren’t limited to) effects that have a permanent enter the battlefield as a copy of another permanent, effects that have a permanent enter with counters, and effects that have a permanent enter tapped.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
Abilities that trigger when something else causes an ability to trigger will always go on the stack after the ability that caused them to trigger. For example, Strict Proctor’s ability will always resolve before the triggered ability that caused it to trigger does. This is a change from previous rules.
No other card is named in this ruling.
