Moraug, Fury of Akoum

Legendary Creature — Minotaur Warrior

Moraug wants a deck that attacks more than once in a single turn. It also suits a deck that gets a reward every time it plays a land.

Each creature you control gets +1/+0 for each time it has attacked this turn.

Landfall — Whenever a land you control enters, if it's your main phase, there's an additional combat phase after this phase. At the beginning of that combat, untap all creatures you control.

Wizards of the Coast 25 Sep 2020

A creature that enters the battlefield attacking hasn't attacked that combat. Moraug's ability won't count that combat. Unless that creature has haste, it won't be able to attack in additional combats this turn.

Wizards of the Coast 25 Sep 2020

If the landfall ability resolves during your precombat main phase, the additional combat phase will happen before your regular combat phase. You'll untap creatures you control at the beginning of the additional combat but not at the beginning of your regular combat.

Wizards of the Coast 25 Sep 2020

Moraug's first ability checks each turn how many times each creature has attacked. It counts times that creature attacked before Moraug was on the battlefield, and it stops applying if Moraug leaves the battlefield.

Wizards of the Coast 25 Sep 2020

Moraug's first ability counts how many times a creature has attacked, not how many times it has dealt damage. The first time a creature attacks in a turn, the +1/+0 bonus will apply to the combat damage it deals during that combat.

Wizards of the Coast 25 Sep 2020

There won't be an additional main phase after the additional combat phase. For example, if the landfall ability resolves twice during your postcombat main phase, you'll get two consecutive additional combat phases after your main phase (untapping your creatures at the beginning of each), followed by your ending phase.

Color identityEvery color of mana symbol on a card, in its cost and in its rules text. Your commander's color identity sets the limit for your whole deck: every other card has to fit inside it. A deck led by a green and white commander cannot play a card with any blue in its color identity.Open the full glossaryRPlayers write colors as letters: R for red.Extra CombatsExtra Combat decks get to attack more than once in a single turn, so their creatures can hit twice or more. They pair with cards that untap creatures, because a creature that attacked is usually tapped and cannot attack again until it untaps.Open the Extra Combats pageExtra CombatGives you an extra combat, a second chance to attack in the same turn. Most, like Aggravated Assault and Aurelia, the Warleader, also untap your creatures so they can attack again, and cards that make a creature hard to block, like Whispersilk Cloak, make each attack count.Open the Extra Combat pageExtra PhaseAdds an extra phase to your turn: usually another combat, though sometimes an additional main phase to cast more spells.
