Carte Magic Voldaren Ambusher

Voldaren Ambusher 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

When this creature enters, if an opponent lost life this turn, it deals X damage to up to one target creature or planeswalker, where X is the number of Vampires you control.

How it works : Voldaren Ambusher

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Voldaren Ambusher's ability cares whether an opponent lost life this turn, not how their life total changed. For example, an opponent who gained 2 life and lost 1 life in the same turn still lost life.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Voldaren Ambusher's ability counts the number of Vampires you control as it resolves. If something happens in response such that you don't control any Vampires when it resolves, Voldaren Ambusher won't deal damage to the target creature or planeswalker.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
