Carte Magic Thelonite Hermit

Thelonite Hermit 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

All Saprolings get +1/+1. Morph {3}{G}{G} (You may cast this card face down as a 2/2 creature for {3}. Turn it face up any time for its morph cost.) When this creature is turned face up, create four 1/1 green Saproling creature tokens.

How it works : Thelonite Hermit

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Because damage remains marked on a creature until the damage is removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to a Saproling may become lethal if Thelonite Hermit leaves the battlefield during that turn.
