Card Rulings

2021-02-05

If Niko Aris enters the battlefield without being cast, they were cast for a cost other than their mana cost, or if X was chosen to be 0, the enters-the-battlefield ability won’t create any Shard tokens.

2021-02-05

Niko deals all the damage for their second ability at the same time. For example, if you’ve drawn two cards this turn, Niko will deal 4 damage to the target tapped creature; they won’t deal 2 damage, then deal 2 more damage.

2021-02-05

Shard is a new predefined token, similar to Food and Treasure. A Shard token is a colorless enchantment with “ , Sacrifice this enchantment: Scry 1, then draw a card.” Shard is a new enchantment subtype.

2021-02-05

The delayed triggered ability created by Niko’s first loyalty ability will trigger whenever the target creature deals any damage that turn, not just combat damage.
