Carte Magic Surestrike Trident

Surestrike Trident 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

Equipped creature has first strike and "{T}, Unattach Surestrike Trident: This creature deals damage equal to its power to target player or planeswalker." Equip {4} ({4}: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery.)

How it works : Surestrike Trident

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Surestrike Trident grants an ability to the equipped creature.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    The equipped creature’s controller chooses whether or not to activate the activated ability. It doesn’t matter who controls Surestrike Trident.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    “Unattach Surestrike Trident” means just that — Surestrike Trident moves off the creature it was equipping and remains on the battlefield.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
