Tar Fiend 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
Devour 2 (As this creature enters, you may sacrifice any number of creatures. It enters with twice that many +1/+1 counters on it.) When this creature enters, target player discards a card for each creature it devoured.
How it works : Tar Fiend
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
You may choose not to sacrifice any creatures for the Devour ability.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If you cast this as a spell, you choose how many and which creatures to devour as part of the resolution of that spell. (It can't be countered at this point.) The same is true of a spell or ability that lets you put a creature with devour onto the battlefield.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
You may sacrifice only creatures that are already on the battlefield. If a creature with devour and another creature are entering under your control at the same time, the creature with devour can't devour that other creature. The creature with devour also can't devour itself.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
If multiple creatures with devour are entering under your control at the same time, you may use each one's devour ability. A creature you already control can be devoured by only one of them, however. (In other words, you can't sacrifice the same creature to satisfy multiple devour abilities.) All creatures devoured this way are sacrificed at the same time.
No other card is named in this ruling.
