About Crafty Cutpurse

Crafty Cutpurse, Creature — human pirate, designed by Grzegorz Rutkowski first released in Jan, 2018 in the set Rivals of Ixalan Promos and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of NZ$ 0.36.

Crafty Cutpurse would be a valuable addition to a control or tempo deck in Magic: the Gathering, especially in a metagame where token strategies are prevalent. While it can disrupt opponents' token generation, there are potentially better options like Aetherize or Cyclonic Rift that offer more versatile board control. Crafty Cutpurse could see play as a sideboard option in specific matchups where token strategies are prominent.

Rules

01/19/18

Crafty Cutpurse’s replacement effect is applied before any other replacement effects that would also modify how the token enters the battlefield. For example, if an opponent controls Anointed Procession, your Crafty Cutpurse’s effect applies before that of Anointed Procession and you won’t get twice as many tokens.

01/19/18

If a token would be created tapped and attacking, but the token’s controller isn’t an attacking player, that token is created tapped but not attacking. If a token would be created blocking a creature, but the token’s controller isn’t a defending player, that token is created but isn’t blocking.

01/19/18

On the other hand, if the effect that creates the token grants a triggered ability to the token, the player who controls the token at the time the ability triggers will be the player who controls that ability. For example, if your opponent activates the second ability of Jace, Cunning Castaway, the token has the ability. If the ability triggers, you’ll control it, so you’ll have to sacrifice the token.

01/19/18

The above procedure means that if each player in a two-player game has resolved Crafty Cutpurse’s triggered ability and one would create a token, it really will enter the battlefield under that player’s control. The token would enter the battlefield under player A’s control, so player B’s effect affects it. Now that token would enter the battlefield under player B’s control, so player A’s effect affects it. Each replacement effect has now been used, so the token will enter the battlefield under player A’s control.
