37 rulings for 8 cards

Admiral Beckett Brass

Wizards of the Coast 29 Sep 2017

If more than one player was dealt combat damage by three Pirates, you target only one permanent. It may be controlled by either of those players.

Wizards of the Coast 29 Sep 2017

The control-change effect of Admiral Beckett Brass's triggered ability lasts indefinitely. It doesn't wear off during the cleanup step or when you lose control of Admiral Beckett Brass.

Wizards of the Coast 29 Sep 2017

In a Two-Headed Giant game, combat damage dealt by Pirates your teammate controls will count when checking for Admiral Beckett Brass's ability.

Wizards of the Coast 29 Sep 2017

Admiral Beckett Brass's triggered ability checks what happened earlier in the turn. It doesn't care whether Admiral Beckett Brass was on the battlefield when those Pirates dealt combat damage, whether those creatures are still on the battlefield, or whether they're still Pirates.

Wizards of the Coast 29 Sep 2017

If one Pirate deals combat damage multiple times, most likely because it has double strike, it counts as only one of the three Pirates for Admiral Beckett Brass's triggered ability.

Wizards of the Coast 29 Sep 2017

In a multiplayer game, if a player leaves the game, all cards that player owns leave as well, and any effects that give the player control of permanents immediately end.

Blade of Selves

Wizards of the Coast 4 Nov 2015

If the tokens aren't creatures (perhaps because the equipped creature was an animated land), they'll enter the battlefield but they won't be attacking. You'll still exile those tokens at end of combat.

Wizards of the Coast 4 Nov 2015

Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any “as [this permanent] enters the battlefield” or “[this permanent] enters the battlefield with” abilities of the copied creature will also work.

Wizards of the Coast 4 Nov 2015

If a creature has multiple instances of myriad, each triggers separately. You'll get two tokens per opponent other than the defending player.

Wizards of the Coast 4 Nov 2015

You choose whether each token is attacking the player or a planeswalker they control as the token is created.

Wizards of the Coast 4 Nov 2015

If the equipped creature is legendary, the tokens will all enter the battlefield. Then you'll choose one of them to remain on the battlefield. The others will be put into your graveyard. Any enters-the-battlefield or dies triggers of the tokens will work.

Wizards of the Coast 4 Nov 2015

If the defending player is your only opponent, no tokens are put onto the battlefield.

Wizards of the Coast 4 Nov 2015

The token creatures all enter the battlefield at the same time.

Wizards of the Coast 4 Nov 2015

Although the tokens enter the battlefield attacking, they were never declared as attackers. Abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks won't trigger, including the myriad ability of the tokens. If there any costs to have a creature attack, those costs won't apply to the tokens.

Wizards of the Coast 4 Nov 2015

If myriad creates more than one token for any given player (due to an effect such as the one Doubling Season creates), you may choose separately for each token whether it's attacking the player or a planeswalker they control.

Wizards of the Coast 4 Nov 2015

The term “defending player” in the myriad rules (or any other ability of an attacking creature) refers to the player the creature with myriad was attacking at the time it became an attacking creature this combat, or the controller of the planeswalker the creature was attacking at the time it became an attacking creature this combat.

Wizards of the Coast 4 Nov 2015

Each token copies exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing else. It doesn't copy whether that creature is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras and Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on.

Conqueror's Flail

Wizards of the Coast 8 Nov 2016

If Conquerer's Flail is attached to a creature you control and you activate its equip ability targeting another creature you control, there's no time in between activating that ability and the resolution of that ability during which it's not attached to a creature. Assuming it's your turn, your opponents won't be able to cast spells.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Nov 2016

The first ability of Conqueror's Flail constantly updates as the number of colors among permanents you control changes. If the number of colors decreases and the damage that was marked on the equipped creature earlier in the turn is now lethal damage, that creature is destroyed. Similarly, if its toughness becomes 0, that creature is put into its owner's graveyard.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Nov 2016

The five colors are white, blue, black, red, and green. Conqueror's Flail can't give a creature more than +5/+5. (Gold, artifact, and colorless aren't colors.)

Deathrender

Wizards of the Coast 1 Oct 2007

If the creature you put onto the battlefield can't be equipped by Deathrender (due to protection from artifacts, for example), the creature enters but Deathrender remains unattached.

Kelsien, the Plague

Wizards of the Coast 17 Apr 2020

If the target of Kelsien's last ability dies before the ability resolves, you won't get an experience counter.

Wizards of the Coast 17 Apr 2020

If Kelsien leaves the battlefield, you keep any experience counters you've received.

Wizards of the Coast 17 Apr 2020

Each time Kelsien's last ability resolves, it creates a separate delayed triggered ability. If you untap Kelsien and activate its last ability multiple times in one turn, they'll each trigger when the appropriate creature or creatures die.

Najeela, the Blade-Blossom

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

The controller of each Warrior token created by Najeela chooses which player or planeswalker it's attacking. The tokens don't have to be attacking the same player or planeswalker as the creature that caused the ability to trigger. They can even be attacking players or planeswalkers that weren't being attacked.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

Untapping an attacking creature doesn't remove it from combat.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

There is no main phase before the additional combat phase. This means that, for example, you can't activate an equip ability between combats.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

Although the tokens created by Najeela's first ability are attacking, they were never declared as attacking creatures (for the purposes of abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks, for example).

Queen Marchesa

Wizards of the Coast 23 Aug 2016

The game starts with no monarch. Once an effect makes one player the monarch, the game will have exactly one monarch from that point forward.

Wizards of the Coast 23 Aug 2016

Being the monarch carries two inherent triggered abilities. "At the beginning of the monarch's end step, that player draws a card" and "Whenever a creature deals combat damage to the monarch, its controller becomes the monarch."

Wizards of the Coast 23 Aug 2016

If the triggered ability that causes the monarch to draw a card goes on the stack, and a different player becomes the monarch before that ability resolves, the first player will still draw the card.

Wizards of the Coast 23 Aug 2016

Abilities that trigger whenever you "become the monarch" trigger only if you aren't already the monarch. For example, if you are already the monarch as Custodi Lich enters the battlefield, its last ability won't trigger.

Wizards of the Coast 23 Aug 2016

The last ability of Queen Marchesa (long may she reign) checks to see if an opponent is the monarch as your upkeep begins. If no opponent is the monarch, Queen Marchesa's (long may she reign) ability won't trigger at all. Queen Marchesa's (long may she reign) ability will also check to see if an opponent is the monarch as it tries to resolve. If no opponent is the monarch at that time, Queen Marchesa's (long may she reign) ability will have no effect.

Ramses, Assassin Lord

Wizards of the Coast 9 Sep 2022

As long as that player was attacked this turn by an Assassin you controlled, Ramses, Assassin Lord’s last ability triggers when that player loses the game for any reason, not just due to combat damage. This is true even if the Assassin is no longer on the battlefield, no longer under your control, or no longer an Assassin at the time that player loses the game.

Wizards of the Coast 9 Sep 2022

Similarly, if an Assassin enters the battlefield under your control attacking a player, that creature didn’t “attack” and won’t cause this ability to trigger.

Wizards of the Coast 9 Sep 2022

If you attack an opponent with a non-Assassin creature and that creature becomes an Assassin after attackers were declared, that player was not “attacked” this turn by an Assassin you controlled.

Wizards of the Coast 9 Sep 2022

For the last ability to trigger, an Assassin you controlled must have attacked the player. Attacking a planeswalker the player controls won’t count.
