Carte Magic Thing in the Ice // Awoken Horror

Thing in the Ice // Awoken Horror 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

Defender This creature enters with four ice counters on it. Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, remove an ice counter from this creature. Then if it has no ice counters on it, transform it. When this creature transforms into Awoken Horror, return all non-Horror creatures to their owners' hands.

How it works : Thing in the Ice // Awoken Horror

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    An ability that triggers when a player casts a spell resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered or otherwise leaves the stack without resolving.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    When Thing in the Ice’s triggered ability transforms it, Awoken Horror’s ability will trigger and resolve before the spell that caused Thing in the Ice’s last ability to trigger.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Removing all ice counters from Thing in the Ice some other way will not cause it to transform. You’ll need to cast an instant or sorcery spell and cause its last ability to trigger.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
