Champion Cards in Magic: The Gathering

Video Transcript

"Hi this is Mike Lopez with Expert Village. Today we're going to be discussing Magic: the Gathering the card game. Now we're going to go over the additional cost of playing a creature called a Championing a creature. Now when this Changeling Titan comes into play, he costs 4 and a green for a 7/7. Which is really under cost for this card. But you have to pay something extra; you have to Champion a creature. This means that you have to take a creature that you control that is already in play and you have to remove it from the game. Like, here we have a Rootweller who is a 2/2, which is smaller than the 7/7. So we're going to remove him from game. How you do this is you take this and you put it over to the side and you put it face down. When this creature is either destroyed, eliminated, removed from game, dealt enough combat damage to send him to the graveyard, whenever any of that happens. When this creature dies off or gets removed from game, this creature that you removed from game previously that was the creature that this creature Championed, comes back into play, is not summoning sick and is not tapped. And that is Championing a creature."
