Carte Magic Wakeroot Elemental

Wakeroot Elemental 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

{G}{G}{G}{G}{G}: Untap target land you control. It becomes a 5/5 Elemental creature with haste. It's still a land. (This effect lasts as long as that land remains on the battlefield.)

How it works : Wakeroot Elemental

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Wakeroot Elemental’s ability can target a land that’s already a creature or a land that’s already untapped. The ability will untap it if possible and set its base power and toughness to 5/5. Any counters or effects modifying that creature’s power and toughness will continue to apply, and any effects that set the creature’s power and toughness will be overwritten.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
