Pray that it doesn't seek the safety of your lungs.

Air Elemental

Flying (This creature can't be blocked except by creatures with flying or reach.)

It returns eager to share the feast of blood and gore with its ghoulish master.

Bloodhunter Bat

Flying (This creature can't be blocked except by creatures with flying or reach.)
When Bloodhunter Bat enters the battlefield, target player loses 2 life and you gain 2 life.

Flying

Some spirits cling to one person, feasting on the growing fear until a final moment of all-consuming terror.

Certain Death

Destroy target creature. Its controller loses 2 life and you gain 2 life.

If the creature becomes an illegal target for Certain Death, no player gains or loses life. If it’s a legal target but isn’t destroyed, most likely due to having indestructible, its controller still loses 2 life and you gain 2 life.

The targeted creature will have already left the battlefield before its controller loses 2 life and you gain 2 life. If it has any abilities that care about gaining or losing life, they won’t apply.

Merfolk are best known for their subtle magic. But those who try to fight them in their own territory quickly realize that merfolk are hardly defenseless on the field of battle.

Coral Merfolk

Divine Verdict

Destroy target attacking or blocking creature.

A “blocking creature” is one that has been declared as a blocker this combat, or one that was put onto the battlefield blocking this combat. Unless that creature leaves combat, it continues to be a blocking creature through the end of combat step, even if the creature or creatures it was blocking are no longer on the battlefield or have otherwise left combat.

An “attacking creature” is one that has been declared as an attacker this combat, or one that was put onto the battlefield attacking this combat. Unless that creature leaves combat, it continues to be an attacking creature through the end of combat step, even if the player it was attacking has left the game, or the planeswalker it was attacking has left combat.

Destroying a blocking creature won't cause any of the creatures it was blocking to become unblocked. They won't deal combat damage to the defending player or planeswalker (unless they have trample).

Some took to their boats to escape the unfolding nightmare. The remains of their vessels now litter the shores of Nephalia.

Drag Under

Return target creature to its owner's hand.
Draw a card.

If the targeted creature becomes an illegal target before Drag Under resolves, you won’t draw a card.

"Each day there are new reports of homes along Getander Pass and Hofsaddel falling to vampires of a more savage nature. I've even heard tell that Anje Falkenrath has returned. Please send whatever help you can."
—Sterin Gorn, letter to Thalia

Falkenrath Reaver

Garruk's Horde

Trample (This creature can deal excess combat damage to defending player or planeswalker while attacking.)
Play with the top card of your library revealed.
You may cast the top card of your library if it's a creature card. (Do this only any time you could cast that creature card. You still pay the spell's costs.)

If the top card of your library is Dryad Arbor (the only card that’s both a creature and a land), you can’t play it this way. Dryad Arbor can’t be cast as a spell.

Normally, Garruk’s Horde allows you to cast the top card of your library if it’s a creature card, it’s your main phase, and the stack is empty. If that creature card has flash, you’ll be able to cast it at the time you could cast an instant, even on an opponent’s turn.

You’ll still pay all costs for that spell, including additional costs. You may also pay alternative costs.

If the top card of your library changes while you’re casting a spell, playing a land, or activating an ability, the new top card won’t be revealed until you finish doing so.

The top card of your library isn’t in your hand, so you can’t suspend it, cycle it, discard it, or activate any of its activated abilities.

When playing with the top card of your library revealed, if an effect tells you to draw several cards, reveal each one before you draw it.

Trample
Play with the top card of your library revealed.
You may cast creature spells from the top of your library. (Do this only any time you could cast that creature spell. You still pay the spell's costs.)

"There's no contract to sign, no oath to swear. The enlistment procedure is to unsheathe your sword and point it at the enemy."

Glory Seeker

"Day 31: I finally succeeded in my time reversal experiment!
"Day 30: I might have a problem here."
—Journal of the Prime Izmagnus

Inspiration

The thunder of its hooves beats dreams into despair.

Nightmare

Flying (This creature can't be blocked except by creatures with flying or reach.)
Nightmare's power and toughness are each equal to the number of Swamps you control.

If you control 0 swamps, then the Nightmare has 0 toughness and will be put into its owner’s graveyard as a state-based action right before the next player gains priority.

Nightmare’s power and toughness changes as the number of Swamps you control changes.

Nightmare’s ability counts all lands you control with the subtype Swamp, not just ones named Swamp.

The ability that defines Nightmare’s power and toughness works everywhere, not just on the battlefield.

"When the beast cloaks itself in the mighty oak, what good is a bow? When the oak wraps itself around the snarling beast, what good is a hatchet?"
—Dionus, elvish archdruid

Oakenform

Enchant creature
Enchanted creature gets +3/+3.

"You should have seen the look on *both* their faces."
—Morkamp, Lambholt innkeeper

Rabid Bite

Target creature you control deals damage equal to its power to target creature you don't control.

If either creature is an illegal target as Rabid Bite tries to resolve, the creature you control won’t deal damage.

The earth cannot hold that which magic commands.

Raise Dead

Return target creature card from your graveyard to your hand.

The creature being brought back is chosen on announcement and not on resolution of the spell because it is targeted.

You must show the card you bring out of the graveyard to your opponent.

They make terrible pets ... unless you don't like your other pets.

Rootwalla

{1}{G}: Rootwalla gets +2/+2 until end of turn. Activate this ability only once each turn.

If this card’s ability is activated by one player, then another player takes control of it on the same turn, the second player can’t activate its ability that turn.

{1}{G}: Rootwalla gets +2/+2 until end of turn. Activate only once each turn.

Empires rise and fall, but evil is eternal.

Sengir Vampire

Flying (This creature can't be blocked except by creatures with flying or reach.)
Whenever a creature dealt damage by Sengir Vampire this turn dies, put a +1/+1 counter on Sengir Vampire.

If Sengir Vampire deals nonlethal damage to a creature and then a different effect or damage source causes that creature to be put into a graveyard later in the turn, Sengir Vampire's ability will trigger and it will get a +1/+1 counter.

Each time a creature is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, check whether Sengir Vampire had dealt any damage to it at any time during that turn. If so, Sengir Vampire's ability will trigger. It doesn't matter who controlled the creature or whose graveyard it was put into.

If Sengir Vampire and a creature it dealt damage to are both put into a graveyard at the same time, Sengir Vampire's ability will trigger, but it will do nothing when it resolves.

Follow the light. In its absence, follow her.

Serra Angel

Flying (This creature can't be blocked except by creatures with flying or reach.)
Vigilance (Attacking doesn't cause this creature to tap.)

The undisputed master of the mountains of Shiv.

Shivan Dragon

Flying (This creature can't be blocked except by creatures with flying or reach.)
{R}: Shivan Dragon gets +1/+0 until end of turn.

Sleep Paralysis

Enchant creature
When Sleep Paralysis enters the battlefield, tap enchanted creature.
Enchanted creature doesn't untap during its controller's untap step.

If the target creature is an illegal target by the time Sleep Paralysis tries to resolve, the spell doesn’t resolve. It won’t enter the battlefield, so its ability won’t trigger.

"A riddle is nothing more than a trap for small minds, baited with the promise of understanding."

Sphinx of Magosi

Flying (This creature can't be blocked except by creatures with flying or reach.)
{2}{U}: Draw a card, then put a +1/+1 counter on Sphinx of Magosi.

Flying
{2}{U}: Draw a card, then put a +1/+1 counter on Sphinx of Magosi.

In the Jamuraan jungles, there is often no separating beauty from danger.

Stalking Tiger

Stalking Tiger can't be blocked by more than one creature.

The quickest way to get through the jungle is to agitate a rhino and run in its wake.

Stampeding Rhino

Trample (This creature can deal excess combat damage to defending player or planeswalker while attacking.)

Trample (This creature can deal excess combat damage to the player or planeswalker it's attacking.)

"Bant sentries were called the Angel Line. They never faltered, and they were ready to die defending their position."
—Elspeth Tirel

Standing Troops

Vigilance (Attacking doesn't cause this creature to tap.)

The Dimir would hire her, if only they knew where she lived. The Azorius would condemn her, if only they knew her name.

Stealer of Secrets

Whenever Stealer of Secrets deals combat damage to a player, draw a card.

Its hooves touch the earth only when a hero must rise.

Stormfront Pegasus

The giant was felt a few seconds before he was seen.

"Mindlessness is not weakness. When we are lost to hunger we are unstoppable."

Untamed Hunger

Enchant creature
Enchanted creature gets +2/+1 and has menace. (It can't be blocked except by two or more creatures.)

Victory's Herald

Flying (This creature can't be blocked except by creatures with flying or reach.)
Whenever Victory's Herald attacks, attacking creatures gain flying and lifelink until end of turn. (Damage dealt by those creatures also causes you to gain that much life.)

Even though the triggered ability affects only attacking creatures, the bonuses will remain for the rest of the turn.

Victory’s Herald also gains flying (which will likely be redundant) and lifelink if it’s still attacking when the ability resolves.

Flying
Whenever Victory's Herald attacks, attacking creatures gain flying and lifelink until end of turn.

"We are the hands of the great trees, reaching out to ensnare what threatens their branches."
