Scute Swarm Rules Text & Legality

Scute Swarm

Landfall — Whenever a land you control enters, create a 1/1 green Insect creature token. If you control six or more lands, create a token that's a copy of this creature instead.

"Commander, I've discovered an indigenous arthropod. They're kind of cute, and they seem to be highly social."

Scute Swarm is legal in Pioneer, Modern, Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Standard and Pauper.

Scute Swarm Rulings

  • Nov 8, 2024

    A landfall ability doesn't trigger if a permanent already on the battlefield becomes a land.

  • Nov 8, 2024

    A landfall ability triggers whenever a land you control enters for any reason. It triggers whenever you play a land, as well as whenever a spell or ability puts a land onto the battlefield under your control.

  • Nov 8, 2024

    Whenever a land you control enters, each landfall ability of the permanents you control will trigger. You can put them   on the stack in any order. The last ability you put on the stack will be the first one to resolve (As a result, you can have those abilities resolve in the order of your choosing.).

  • Sep 25, 2020

    If Scute Swarm leaves the battlefield before its triggered ability resolves, the token will still enter the battlefield as a copy of Scute Swarm, using Scute Swarm's copiable values from when it was last on the battlefield.

  • Sep 25, 2020

    The token copy will have Scute Swarm's ability. It will also be able to create copies of itself.
