Carte Magic Weeping Angel

Weeping Angel 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

Flash First strike, vigilance Whenever an opponent casts a creature spell, this creature isn't a creature until end of turn. If this creature would deal combat damage to a creature, prevent that damage and that creature's owner shuffles it into their library.

How it works : Weeping Angel

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    As the first triggered ability of Weeping Angel resolves, it continues to be an artifact but will stop being both an Alien and an Angel until it becomes a creature again. It's just a statue, how dangerous could it be?

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Damage that is prevented never occurs, so any triggered abilities that trigger due to combat damage that would have been dealt by Weeping Angel won't trigger.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If an opponent casts a creature spell with flash while Weeping Angel is attacking or blocking, it is removed from combat because it stops being a creature. However, any creatures that it was blocking are still considered blocked.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
