Carte Magic Tawnos's Tinkering

Tawnos's Tinkering 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

Put two +1/+1 counters on target artifact, creature, or land you control. Untap that permanent. If it isn't a creature, it becomes a 0/0 creature in addition to its other types.

How it works : Tawnos's Tinkering

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Tawnos's Tinkering doesn't grant haste, so if a noncreature permanent that entered the battlefield since the beginning of your upkeep becomes a creature this way, it can't attack until your next turn. Any activated abilities that it has with a {T} symbol in their cost also can't be activated until your next upkeep step. Notably, this means a land that entered the battlefield after your last upkeep can't be tapped for mana if it becomes a creature this way.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If an artifact or land that becomes a creature this way has been on the battlefield since the beginning of your upkeep (even if it wasn't a creature at the time), it can attack during your turn and its abilities may be activated.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
