Carte Magic Surrak, the Hunt Caller

Surrak, the Hunt Caller 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

Formidable — At the beginning of combat on your turn, if creatures you control have total power 8 or greater, target creature you control gains haste until end of turn. (It can attack and {T} no matter when it came under your control.)

How it works : Surrak, the Hunt Caller

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If you control a creature with power less than 0, use its actual power when calculating the total power of creatures you control. For example, if you control three creatures with powers 4, 5, and -2, the total power of creatures you control is 7.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Some formidable abilities are activated abilities that require creatures you control to have total power 8 or greater. Once you activate these abilities, it doesn't matter what happens to the total power of creatures you control.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Other formidable abilities are triggered abilities with an "intervening 'if'" clause. Such abilities check the total power of creatures you control twice: once at the appropriate time to see if the ability will trigger, and again as the ability tries to resolve. If, at that time, the total power of creatures you control is no longer 8 or greater, the ability will have no effect.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
