The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl 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
Do You Like Squirrels? — Whenever The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl enters or attacks, create a 1/1 green Squirrel creature token. I LOVE Squirrels! —: Create X 1/1 green Squirrel creature tokens, where X is the number of Squirrels you control.
Complete guide
The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl is a powerhouse commander that turns a small scurry of rodents into an unstoppable army. With both a triggered ability and a powerful activated ability, she ensures you never run out of fuzzy reinforcements. Whether she is entering the battlefield or charging into combat, the squirrel population is guaranteed to rise.
A Constant Stream of Squirrels
The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl features two distinct ways to generate tokens. The first is her 'Do You Like Squirrels?' ability, which triggers whenever she enters the battlefield or attacks. This provides a free 1/1 green Squirrel creature token during key phases of the game. The second is her 'I LOVE Squirrels!' activated ability, which allows you to pay four mana to effectively double your current Squirrel count.
Executing the Exponential Growth
To use the activated ability, you must have four mana available. When you activate the ability, it goes on the stack. Upon resolution, the game checks the number of Squirrels you currently control. You then create that many 1/1 green Squirrel creature tokens. Because The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl herself has the Squirrel creature type, she will always count toward this total as long as she remains on the battlefield.
Strategic Considerations
Timing is crucial when activating her second ability. Since the value of X is determined only when the ability resolves, you want to ensure you have as many Squirrels as possible at that moment. Remember that The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl is a Legendary creature; while you can have multiple Squirrel tokens, you cannot have two copies of her on the battlefield simultaneously under your control without losing one to the legend rule.
Interaction examples
The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl
SquirrelWhen you cast The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl and she enters the battlefield, her first ability triggers. You immediately create one 1/1 green Squirrel creature token. At this point, you control two Squirrels: the token and The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl herself.
If you control The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl and three Squirrel tokens, you have four Squirrels total. By activating her 'I LOVE Squirrels!' ability for four mana, the ability resolves, counts your four Squirrels, and creates four additional Squirrel tokens. You now control eight Squirrels in total.
Solemn SimulacrumIf you play Solemn Simulacrum while The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl is on the field, you will get a land, but you will not get any Squirrels. The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl only cares about herself entering or attacking, or the total number of Squirrels you control for her activated ability; she does not trigger when other non-Squirrel creatures enter the battlefield.
