Savage Swipe Rules Text & Legality

Savage Swipe

Target creature you control gets +2/+2 until end of turn if its power is 2. Then it fights target creature you don't control. (Each deals damage equal to its power to the other.)

Nine generations of metalworking skill are no match for nine hundred pounds of rage.

Savage Swipe is legal in Modern, Legacy, Commander and Pauper, and not legal in Standard and Pioneer.

Savage Swipe Rulings

  • Jun 14, 2019

    If either target is an illegal target as Savage Swipe tries to resolve, neither creature will deal or be dealt damage.

  • Jun 14, 2019

    If the creature you control is an illegal target as Savage Swipe tries to resolve, no creature gets +2/+2. If that creature is a legal target but the creature you don’t control isn’t, it still gets +2/+2 until end of turn if its power is 2.

  • Jun 14, 2019

    The target creature you control gets +2/+2 only if its power is exactly 2 as Savage Swipe resolves. It’ll still fight if it doesn’t get +2/+2.

  • Jun 14, 2019

    You can’t cast Savage Swipe unless you choose both a creature you control and a creature you don’t control as targets.
