Official rulings
- The ability can be used on any player's attacking creatures. This includes your own and creatures in an attack you are not involved in (for multiplayer games). (2004-10-04)
- Desert is a land subtype with no special meaning. It doesn't grant the land an intrinsic mana ability. Other cards may care about which lands are Deserts. (2017-04-18)
- The end of combat step happens after combat damage is dealt. You can't use Desert to destroy an attacking creature before it has a chance to deal combat damage. (2024-04-12)
