How it works : Umezawa's Jitte
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
If the "target creature gets -1/-1 until end of turn" mode is chosen, the target creature must also be announced.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
The ability can be used any time Umezawa's Jitte's controller has priority — only the "target creature" choice has additional requirements. Choosing the "Equipped creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn" mode does nothing if the Jitte isn't equipped to a creature when the ability resolves.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast

- #5· Wizards of the Coast
If the Jitte is moved after the "+2/+2" mode is announced but before it resolves, the bonus is given to the creature that is equipped when the ability resolves.
No other card is named in this ruling.
