Toralf, God of Fury // Toralf's Hammer

• WOTC Official Reminder Textofficial rules
  Equip — Equip [cost] ([cost]: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery.)

• WWizards of the Coast2021-02-05
  Official Ruling
  You unattach Toralf's Hammer as part of the cost of activating the ability. If the ability doesn't resolve, Toralf's Hammer doesn't become reattached.
• WWizards of the Coast2021-02-05
  Official Ruling
  The mana value of a modal double-faced card is based on the characteristics of the face that's being considered. On the stack and battlefield, consider whichever face is up. In all other zones, consider only the front face. This is different than how the mana value of a transforming double-faced card is determined.
• WWizards of the Coast2021-02-05
  Official Ruling
  The creature equipped by Toralf's Hammer is the source of the activated ability, but Toralf's Hammer is the source of the damage. For example, if the equipped creature is green, that ability can't target a permanent with protection from green. It could target one with protection from red, though the damage would be prevented as it would have been dealt by a red source (Toralf's Hammer).
• WWizards of the Coast2021-02-05
  Official Ruling
  A creature has been dealt excess damage if one or more sources deal more damage to it than the minimum amount of damage required to be lethal damage. In most cases, this means damage greater than its toughness, but consider any damage already dealt to it that turn.
• WWizards of the Coast2021-02-05
  Official Ruling
  If an effect puts a double-faced card onto the battlefield, it enters with its front face up. If that front face can't be put onto the battlefield, it doesn't enter the battlefield.
• WWizards of the Coast2021-02-05
  Official Ruling
  In the Commander variant, a double-faced card's color identity is determined by the mana costs and mana symbols in the rules text of both faces combined. If either face has a color indicator or basic land type, those are also considered.
• WWizards of the Coast2021-02-05
  Official Ruling
  If the target is an illegal target as the ability tries to resolve, the ability won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won't return Toralf's Hammer to its owner's hand.
• WWizards of the Coast2021-02-05
  Official Ruling
  Even 1 damage dealt to a creature from a source with deathtouch is considered lethal damage, so any amount greater than that will cause excess damage to be dealt, even if the total amount of damage isn't greater than the creature's toughness. Note that a source of damage having deathtouch has no effect on damage dealt to planeswalkers.
• WWizards of the Coast2021-02-05
  Official Ruling
  If an effect allows you to play a specific modal double-faced card, you may cast it as a spell or play it as a land, as determined by which face you choose to play. If an effect allows you to cast (rather than "play") a specific modal double-faced card, you can't play it as a land.
• WWizards of the Coast2021-02-05
  Official Ruling
  If an effect allows you to play a land or cast a spell from among a group of cards, you may play or cast a modal double-faced card with any face that fits the criteria of that effect.
• WWizards of the Coast2021-02-05
  Official Ruling
  A planeswalker is dealt excess damage if it's dealt damage greater than its current loyalty.
• WWizards of the Coast2021-02-05
  Official Ruling
  It doesn't matter if a creature or planeswalker an opponent controls was dealt combat damage earlier in the turn. The only thing that matters is that the damage dealt to that permanent that caused excess damage to be dealt was noncombat damage.
• WWizards of the Coast2021-02-05
  Official Ruling
  If an effect instructs a player to choose a card name, the name of either face may be chosen. If that effect or a linked ability refers to a spell with the chosen name being cast and/or a land with the chosen name being played, it considers only the chosen name, not the other face's name.
• WWizards of the Coast2021-02-05
  Official Ruling
  A modal double-faced card can't be transformed or be put onto the battlefield transformed. Ignore any instruction to transform a modal double-faced card or to put one onto the battlefield transformed.
• WWizards of the Coast2021-02-05
  Official Ruling
  To determine whether it is legal to play a modal double-faced card, consider only the characteristics of the face you're playing and ignore the other face's characteristics.
• WWizards of the Coast2021-02-05
  Official Ruling
  Toralf's ability doesn't affect the damage dealt to the creature or planeswalker an opponent controls. That damage will still be dealt as normal.
• WWizards of the Coast2021-02-05
  Official Ruling
  There is a single triangle icon in the top left corner of the front face. There is a double triangle icon in the top left corner of the back face.
• WWizards of the Coast2021-02-05
  Official Ruling
  If a permanent is both a creature and a planeswalker, the minimum amount of damage to be considered lethal damage is used to determine if excess damage has been dealt. For example, if a 5/5 creature that's also a planeswalker with three loyalty counters on it is dealt 4 noncombat damage, it's been dealt 1 excess damage and Toralf's ability will trigger.
• WWizards of the Coast2021-02-05
  Official Ruling
  The damage Toralf deals because of its triggered ability is noncombat damage. That damage may cause Toralf's ability to trigger again.
