Tidewalker 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
This creature enters with a time counter on it for each Island you control. Vanishing (At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter from this creature. When the last is removed, sacrifice it.) Tidewalker's power and toughness are each equal to the number of time counters on it.
How it works : Tidewalker
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Unless something is boosting Tidewalker's toughness, when the last time counter is removed, it will be put into the graveyard as a state-based action for having 0 toughness before it can be sacrificed as the result of vanishing.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If you don't control any Islands when Tidewalker enters, its vanishing ability has no effect. (It enters with no time counters on it, so neither of the vanishing triggers can trigger. See "Vanishing" in the General Notes section above.) On the other hand, it will be 0/0 and will be put into its owner's graveyard unless something is boosting its toughness.
No other card is named in this ruling.
