Fire Whip
    Color= Red Type= Enchantment - Aura Cost= 1R WL(C)/TS(S)
    Text (TS): Enchant creature you control. ; Enchanted creature has "{Tap}: This creature deals 1 damage to target creature or player." ; Sacrifice ~this~: ~this~ deals 1 damage to target creature or player.
  • The tap ability cannot be used by a creature with summoning sickness because the creature itself needs to tap. [Duelist Magazine #19, Page 34]
  • Remember that you tap the creature as part of the cost of announcing Fire Whip's granted ability. So, if you have two Fire Whips on a creature announcing the first one will tap the creature, so you cannot use the second one or any other ability which requires tapping the creature until you find a way to untap it. [D'Angelo 1997/06/23]
  • Is put into the graveyard if you lose control of the creature since the card text says it can only enchant a creature you control. [D'Angelo 1999/07/10]
  • Yes, any side effects due to the creature dealing damage do happen. [Duelist Magazine #19, Page 34]
    For example, giving poison counters.
