Saddle 2 (Tap any number of other creatures you control with total power 2 or more: This Mount becomes saddled until end of turn. Saddle only as a sorcery.)

Official rulings
- An ability that triggers when a creature “attacks while saddled” will trigger only if that creature was saddled when it was declared as an attacker. (2024-04-12)

- If a permanent becomes a copy of a saddled Mount, the copy won’t be saddled. (2024-04-12)
- The value of X is determined as Stubborn Burrowfiend’s triggered ability resolves. (2024-04-12)
- You may activate a permanent’s saddle ability even if that permanent is already saddled. (2024-04-12)
- Creatures with saddle can attack or block as normal even if they aren’t saddled. (2024-04-12)
- “Saddle N” means “Tap any number of other untapped creatures you control with total power N or greater: This permanent becomes saddled until end of turn. Activate only as a sorcery.” (2024-04-12)
