Carte Magic Topan Ascetic

Topan Ascetic 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

Tap an untapped creature you control: This creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn.

How it works : Topan Ascetic

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Since Topan Ascetic's activated ability doesn't have a tap symbol in its cost, you can tap a creature (including Topan Ascetic itself) that hasn't been under your control since your most recent turn began to pay the cost.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
