Undercover Butler 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

Whenever this creature attacks the player with the most life or tied for most life, it can't be blocked this turn.

How it works : Undercover Butler

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Undercover Butler's ability doesn't trigger if it attacks a planeswalker or battle, no matter what the life total of the planeswalker's controller or battle's protector is.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Once Undercover Butler's ability triggers, it doesn't matter what happens to players' life totals before the ability resolves. Undercover Butler won't be able to be blocked this turn even if the defending player doesn't have the most life and isn't tied for most life as the ability resolves.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
