Tarmogoyf Nest 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

Enchant land Enchanted land has "{1}{G}, {T}: Create a Tarmogoyf token." (It's a {1}{G} Lhurgoyf creature with "Tarmogoyf's power is equal to the number of card types among cards in all graveyards and its toughness is equal to that number plus 1.")

How it works : Tarmogoyf Nest

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Tarmogoyf Nest's activated ability creates a token that's a copy of the card Tarmogoyf in the Oracle card reference. Official text for Tarmogoyf can be found using the Gatherer card database at Gatherer.Wizards.com.

    Card named in this ruling

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Kindred is a card type that allows noncreature cards to have creature types. For example, Echoes of Eternity is an Eldrazi (although not a creature) while on the battlefield and an Eldrazi card (although not a creature card) in zones other than the battlefield.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    While it appears only on cards that already have other card types, kindred is a card type and will be counted by effects that refer to the number of card types among cards in a zone.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
