About Lurking Arynx

Lurking Arynx, Creature — cat beast, designed by Carl Frank first released in Mar, 2015 in the set Dragons of Tarkir. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.48.

This card, Lurking Arynx, would benefit a deck that focuses on creating a board presence with high-power creatures to activate its formidable ability consistently. Decks that can easily reach a total power of 8 or greater among their creatures would find this card useful for controlling combat situations. However, there may be better options available depending on the specific strategy of the deck, such as cards with more impactful abilities or lower mana costs. Overall, Lurking Arynx could see play in decks that can reliably meet its formidable requirement and benefit from its ability to force blocks.

Rules

02/25/15

If a creature affected by Lurking Arynx’s ability can’t legally block it (perhaps because Lurking Arynx has gained flying), that creature can block other attacking creatures or not block at all.

02/25/15

If you control a creature with power less than 0, use its actual power when calculating the total power of creatures you control. For example, if you control three creatures with powers 4, 5, and -2, the total power of creatures you control is 7.

02/25/15

Other formidable abilities are triggered abilities with an “intervening ‘if’” clause. Such abilities check the total power of creatures you control twice: once at the appropriate time to see if the ability will trigger, and again as the ability tries to resolve. If, at that time, the total power of creatures you control is no longer 8 or greater, the ability will have no effect.

02/25/15

You may activate Lurking Arynx’s ability multiple times in a turn to force multiple creatures to block it if able.
