Battle cry is a triggered ability first introduced in Mirrodin Besieged and gives a +1/+0 bonus to each other attacking creature, thus being more or less an inversion of Exalted.[1][2] Battle Cry has to date appeared on eight cards, seven of which carry the Mirran watermark.[3]
Rules
From the glossary of the Comprehensive Rules (June 7, 2024—Modern Horizons 3)
- Battle Cry
- A keyword ability that makes other attacking creatures better in combat. See rule 702.91, “Battle Cry.”
From the Comprehensive Rules (June 7, 2024—Modern Horizons 3)
- 702.91. Battle Cry
- 702.91a Battle cry is a triggered ability. “Battle cry” means “Whenever this creature attacks, each other attacking creature gets +1/+0 until end of turn.”
- 702.91b If a creature has multiple instances of battle cry, each triggers separately.
Rulings
- The +1/+0 bonus applies to each other attacking creature, but not to the creature with battle cry itself.
- The +1/+0 bonus remains until the end of the turn, even if the creature with battle cry leaves the battlefield or stops being an attacking creature.
- If a creature with battle cry attacks more than once in a turn (due to an additional combat phase being created), its battle cry ability will trigger each time. The results are cumulative.
- In Two-Headed Giant and other multiplayer variants where players share a turn, attacking creatures controlled by a teammate also receive the +1/+0 bonus.
