Young Deathclaws 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.
Official card text
Menace (This creature can't be blocked except by two or more creatures.) Each creature card in your graveyard has scavenge. The scavenge cost is equal to its mana cost. (Exile a creature card from your graveyard and pay its mana cost: Put a number of +1/+1 counters equal to that card's power on target creature. Scavenge only as a sorcery.)
How it works : Young Deathclaws
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Exiling the creature card with scavenge is part of the cost of activating the scavenge ability. Once the ability is activated and the cost is paid, it’s too late to stop the ability from being activated by trying to remove the creature card from the graveyard.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
While Young Deathclaws is on the battlefield, the scavenge cost of a creature card in your graveyard is equal to its mana cost, including any colored mana requirements.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
The number of counters that a card’s scavenge ability puts on a creature is based on the card’s power as it last existed in the graveyard.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
If the creature card you scavenge has
in its mana cost, X is 0.No other card is named in this ruling.
- #5· Wizards of the Coast
If a creature card has multiple instances of scavenge, you can activate either ability (but not both, as the card will be exiled when you activate one of them). Young Deathclaws’s ability doesn’t affect the scavenge cost of a creature’s other scavenge ability.
No other card is named in this ruling.
