LEGENDARY CREATURE — HUMAN WARRIOR

Winota, Joiner of Forces

Whenever a non-Human creature you control attacks, look at the top six cards of your library. You may put a Human creature card from among them onto the battlefield tapped and attacking. It gains indestructible until end of turn. Put the rest of the cards on the bottom of your library in a random order.

    Official Ruling
    Any effects that say that the Human can’t attack (such as that of Propaganda, or if you get a Human with defender) affect only the declaration of attackers. They won’t stop the Human you find from entering the battlefield attacking.
  • WWizards of the Coast2020-04-17
    Official Ruling
    If more than one non-Human creature you control attacks, Winota’s ability triggers separately for each of them. For example, if three non-Human creatures attack, you won’t look at the top eighteen cards of your library at once; you’ll look at six, finish resolving the ability, and then repeat the process twice more as the other instances of the ability resolve.
  • WWizards of the Coast2020-04-17
    Official Ruling
    Although the Human is an attacking creature, it was never declared as an attacking creature. This means that abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks won’t trigger when it enters the battlefield attacking.
  • WWizards of the Coast2020-04-17
    Official Ruling
    You choose which player or planeswalker the Human is attacking. It doesn’t have to be attacking the same player or planeswalker that the non-Human creature is attacking.

    Winota, Joiner of Forces was banned in historic on July 13, 2020. Because we feel the data shows a positive impact from the current suspensions, and because it is unlikely to be safe to reintroduce these cards to Historic anytime soon, Winota, Joiner of Forces is banned in Historic.

    Winota, Joiner of Forces was banned in brawl on May 18, 2020. On the balance side of things, we're seeing that high win rates of decks using Winota, Joiner of Forces as a commander are leading to increased play rates and reduced diversity of play experiences for Brawl players. We're choosing to make a change here in order to open up more viable choices for self-expression in the Brawl metagame.
