Ferocious is an ability word introduced in Khans of Tarkir, wherein it is the Temur Frontier clan mechanic.[2] It triggers an advantage for the player if they control a creature with power 4 or greater. The mechanic was also featured in Fate Reforged.[3]
Rulings
- Some ferocious abilities that appear on instants and sorceries use the word "instead." These spells have an upgraded effect if you control a creature with power 4 or greater as they resolve. For these, you only get the upgraded effect, not both effects.
- Ferocious abilities of instants and sorceries that don't use the word "instead" will provide an additional effect if you control a creature with power 4 or greater as they resolve.
