About Muraganda Petroglyphs

Muraganda Petroglyphs, Enchantment, designed by Scott Altmann first released in May, 2007 in the set Future Sight and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of € 0.22.

This card can be beneficial in a deck that focuses on creatures with no abilities, such as vanilla creatures or those with minimal abilities. It can be particularly effective in a green stompy deck that aims to overwhelm the opponent with large, efficient creatures. While Muraganda Petroglyphs can be a strong inclusion in the right deck, there are potentially better options available, such as cards like Rancor or Aspect of Hydra, which provide additional benefits beyond just a static power and toughness boost. Ultimately, whether Muraganda Petroglyphs sees play will depend on the specific strategy and synergies of the deck it is included in.

Rules

03/19/21

Any text on a creature is an ability, even if that text isn’t currently applicable (such as a cycling ability of a creature).

03/19/21

If an effect says that an affected creature “has” or “gains” an ability, Muraganda Petroglyphs won’t apply to that creature because it has gained an ability. If an effect simply says that something is true of an affected creature (such as “target creature can’t be blocked this turn”) then that effect isn’t causing the creature to gain an ability.

05/01/07

Muraganda Petroglyphs gives a bonus only to creatures that have no rules text at all. This includes true vanilla creatures (such as Grizzly Bears), face-down creatures, many tokens, and creatures that have lost their abilities (due to Ovinize, for example). Any ability of any kind, whether or not the ability functions in the on the battlefield zone, including things like “Cycling ” means the creature doesn’t get the bonus.

05/01/07

Some Auras and Equipment grant abilities to creatures, meaning the affected creature would no longer get the +2/+2 bonus. For example, Flight grants flying to the enchanted creature. Other Auras and Equipment do not, meaning the affected creature would continue to get the +2/+2 bonus. For example, Dehydration states something now true about the enchanted creature, but doesn’t give it any abilities. Auras and Equipment that grant abilities will use the words “gains” or “has,” and they’ll list a keyword ability or an ability in quotation marks.
