Tahngarth's Rage
Color Red
Type Enchant Creature
Cost Cost=R
Expansion TE(U)
Text(TE+errata):Enchanted creature gets +3/+0 as long as it's attacking. Otherwise, it gets -2/-1. [Oracle 1999/05/01]
The effect does not change its position in the order in which you apply effects when the creature goes from attacking to not attacking or the other way around. For example, a Sengir Vampire who is attacking with Tahngarth's Rage is 7/4 and it would be 2/3 when not attacking. If Blood Lust were played on it while attacking so it was 11/1 (remember that Blood Lust won't lower toughness below 1), at end of combat it would become 6/1 since you still apply the Blood Lust after the -2/-1. [D'Angelo 2000/06/07]

If the creature changes controllers before this ability resolves, its new controller has to sacrifice something. For example, Gilded Drake. [bethmo 1998/11/24]

Text(CH+errata):At the beginning of the upkeep of enchanted creature's controller, put a -0/-1 counter on enchanted creature. ; When enchanted creature is put into a graveyard, enchanted creature's controller returns ~this~ to play from its owner's graveyard. If ~this~ can't enchant a creature, it becomes a global enchantment under that player's control with "At the beginning of your upkeep, ~this~ deals 1 damage to you" instead. [Oracle 2001/08/24]
The controller of the creature which is destroyed gets to place Takklemaggot on a creature of their choice (controlled by any player, not just one of their own creatures). If there are no creatures to put it on, then Takklemaggot becomes a simple enchantment. [D'Angelo 1994/08/01]
If the creature leaves play without going to the graveyard (via Unsummon or something like that), Takklemaggot is simply destroyed. [bethmo 1994/08/23]
Takklemaggot is controlled initially by the player that played it, but each time it goes to the graveyard it returns and is controlled by the player whose creature it was on when it went to the graveyard. [DeLaney 2000/05/01]
You choose the new creature and put it on that creature all during the resolution of the triggered ability that has you put it back into play. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
