Warg Rider Rules Text & Legality

Warg Rider

Menace

Other Orcs and Goblins you control have menace.

At the beginning of combat on your turn, amass Orcs 2. (Put two +1/+1 counters on an Army you control. It's also an Orc. If you don't control an Army, create a 0/0 black Orc Army creature token first.)

Warg Rider is legal in Modern, Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Standard, Pioneer and Pauper.

Warg Rider Rulings

  • Nov 3, 2023

    If you don't control an Army, the Orc Army token you create enters the battlefield as a 0/0 creature before receiving counters. Any abilities that trigger when a creature with a certain power enters the battlefield, such as that of Mentor of the Meek, will see the token enter as a 0/0 creature before it gets +1/+1 counters.

  • Nov 3, 2023

    In the rare case that you control multiple Army creatures (perhaps because you cast a creature with changeling) while you amass Orcs, you choose which of your Army creatures to put the +1/+1 counters on. If that creature isn't an Orc, it becomes an Orc in addition to its other types.

  • Nov 3, 2023

    To amass Orcs N, if you don't control an Army creature, create a 0/0 black Orc Army creature token. Then you choose an Army creature you control and put N +1/+1 counters on it. If that Army isn't already an Orc, it becomes an Orc in addition to its other types.
