Gyrus, Waker of Corpses
LEGENDARY CREATURE — HYDRA

Gyrus, Waker of Corpses

Gyrus enters with a number of +1/+1 counters on it equal to the amount of mana spent to cast it. Whenever Gyrus attacks, you may exile target creature card with lesser power from your graveyard. If you do, create a token that's a copy of that card and that's tapped and attacking. Exile the token at end of combat.

  • WWizards of the Coast2018-07-13
    Official Ruling
    Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature card will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any "as [this creature card] enters the battlefield" or "[this creature card] enters the battlefield with" abilities of the chosen creature card will also work.
  • WWizards of the Coast2018-07-13
    Official Ruling
    Although the token is attacking, it was never declared as an attacking creature (for the purposes of abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks, for example).
  • WWizards of the Coast2018-07-13
    Official Ruling
    If the copied creature card has in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
  • WWizards of the Coast2018-07-13
    Official Ruling
    The amount of mana you spent to cast Gyrus is usually equal to its mana value, normally 3 plus the value chosen for X. However, you also include any additional costs you pay, including the commander tax.
  • WWizards of the Coast2018-07-13
    Official Ruling
    Gyrus's token copies exactly what was printed on the original creature card and nothing else. It doesn't copy any effects that modified it before it was put into your graveyard.
  • WWizards of the Coast2018-07-13
    Official Ruling
    You choose which player or planeswalker the token is attacking. It doesn't have to be attacking the same player or planeswalker that Gyrus is attacking.
  • WWizards of the Coast2018-07-13
    Official Ruling
    If another creature enters the battlefield as a copy of Gyrus, consider how much mana was spent to cast that creature to determine how many +1/+1 counters it enters with.
  • WWizards of the Coast2018-07-13
    Official Ruling
    If Gyrus enters the battlefield without being cast, then no mana was spent to cast it. It enters the battlefield without any +1/+1 counters. If no other effects are increasing its toughness at that time, it will be put into its owner's graveyard as a state-based action.
