Haste

Cowards can't block Warriors.

Whenever one or more Warriors you control attack a player, target creature that player controls becomes a Coward.

Attacking Warriors you control get +X/+0, where X is the number of Cowards your opponents control.

Keyword reminders

Haste. This creature can attack and use tap abilities as soon as it comes under your control. · CR 702.10

Official rulings

  1. Gornog's third ability overwrites the target's existing creature types. Once the ability resolves, that creature will be a Coward and won't have its previous creature types. It retains any other types and supertypes it has as well as any subtypes that aren't creature types. (2024-11-08)
  2. Gornog's third ability doesn't have a duration. It will remain in effect until the game ends, the target creature leaves the battlefield, or some subsequent effect changes the creature's characteristics, whichever comes first. (2024-11-08)
  3. The bonus granted by Gornog's last ability changes as the number of Cowards your opponents control changes. (2024-11-08)
  4. Once a creature has blocked a Warrior, turning that creature into a Coward won't remove it from combat or cause the Warrior to become unblocked. (The Coward might suddenly have some regrets, though.) (2024-11-08)
