Carte Magic Treacherous Trapezist

Treacherous Trapezist 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

Flying Whenever you cast an alliterative spell, scry 2. (Anything with two or more capitalized words in its name that begin with the same letter is alliterative.) Other alliterative creatures you control have flying.

How it works : Treacherous Trapezist

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    The words can be the same word. Casting Decisions, Decisions or Monitor Monitor will cause you to scry 2.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    An alliterative spell or creature can have other words in its name, capitalized or not, as long as it has two or more capitalized words that begin with the same letter. The two words don’t even need to be adjacent to one another.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Questionable Cuisine is not alliterative. Celestial Crusader is. It’s true that in the real world, alliteration usually refers to the repetition of sounds at the beginnings of words, but it’s also true that porcupines are usually not very aerodynamic, so let’s not get hung up on reality, okay?

    No other card is named in this ruling.
