Tide of War 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
Whenever one or more creatures block, flip a coin. If you win the flip, each blocking creature is sacrificed by its controller. If you lose the flip, each blocked creature is sacrificed by its controller.
How it works : Tide of War
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Tide of War’s ability triggers only once each combat and only if at least one blocker is declared. The effect does nothing to unblocked attacking creatures.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Tide of War’s controller always flips the coin. This means that you want to win the flip when you’re attacking but lose the flip when you’re defending.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
Even if the blockers are sacrificed, any attackers that were blocked are still considered blocked.
No other card is named in this ruling.
