Carte Magic Swamp Mosquito

Swamp Mosquito 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

Flying Whenever this creature attacks and isn't blocked, defending player gets a poison counter. (A player with ten or more poison counters loses the game.)

How it works : Swamp Mosquito

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    An ability that triggers when something “attacks and isn’t blocked” triggers in the declare blockers step after blockers are declared if (1) that creature is attacking and (2) no creatures are declared to block it. It will trigger even if that creature was put onto the battlefield attacking rather than having been declared as an attacker in the declare attackers step.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Triggers immediately after blocking is declared if at that time no blockers are assigned to it.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
