Carte Magic Yorvo, Lord of Garenbrig

Yorvo, Lord of Garenbrig 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

Yorvo enters with four +1/+1 counters on it. Whenever another green creature you control enters, put a +1/+1 counter on Yorvo. Then if that creature's power is greater than Yorvo's power, put another +1/+1 counter on Yorvo.

How it works : Yorvo, Lord of Garenbrig

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Yorvo's triggered ability compares the power of the entering green creature only after putting a +1/+1 counter on Yorvo. If that counter causes Yorvo's power to be greater than or equal to the entering creature's power, it won't get a second +1/+1 counter.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If the entering green creature dies before Yorvo's triggered ability resolves, use its power as it last existed on the battlefield to determine whether Yorvo gets a second +1/+1 counter.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
