21 rulings for 5 cards

Aggravated Assault

Wizards of the Coast 1 Sep 2023

You will normally activate this ability during your postcombat main phase so you can untap any creatures that attacked.

Wizards of the Coast 4 Oct 2004

If you have enough mana, the ability may be activated more than once in a turn.

Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin

Wizards of the Coast 3 May 2019

If Krenko leaves the battlefield after its ability has triggered but before it resolves, you don't put a +1/+1 counter on it, but you do use its power as it last existed before it left the battlefield to determine how many Goblin tokens to create.

Wizards of the Coast 3 May 2019

The tokens created by Krenko's triggered ability aren't attacking. Because all attackers are chosen at once, a token created this way can't attack, even if it gains haste.

Merciless Executioner

Wizards of the Coast 24 Nov 2014

If you control no other creatures as Merciless Executioner's ability resolves, you'll have to sacrifice Merciless Executioner.

Skysovereign, Consul Flagship

Wizards of the Coast 29 Sep 2017

You may activate a crew ability of a Vehicle even if it's already an artifact creature. Doing so has no effect on the Vehicle. It doesn't change its power and toughness.

Wizards of the Coast 29 Sep 2017

Once a player announces that they are activating a crew ability, no player may take other actions until the ability has been paid for. Notably, players can't try to stop the ability by changing a creature's power or by removing or tapping a creature.

Wizards of the Coast 29 Sep 2017

If an effect causes a Vehicle to become an artifact creature with a specified power and toughness, that effect overwrites the Vehicle's printed power and toughness.

Wizards of the Coast 29 Sep 2017

Each Vehicle is printed with a power and toughness, but it's not a creature. If it becomes a creature (most likely through its crew ability), it will have that power and toughness.

Wizards of the Coast 29 Sep 2017

If a permanent becomes a copy of a Vehicle, the copy won't be a creature, even if the Vehicle it's copying has become an artifact creature.

Wizards of the Coast 29 Sep 2017

You may tap more creatures than necessary to activate a crew ability.

Wizards of the Coast 29 Sep 2017

For a Vehicle to be able to attack, it must be a creature as the declare attackers step begins, so the latest you can activate its crew ability to attack with it is during the beginning of combat step. For a Vehicle to be able to block, it must be a creature as the declare blockers step begins, so the latest you can activate its crew ability to block with it is during the declare attackers step. In either case, players may take actions after the crew ability resolves but before the Vehicle has been declared as an attacking or blocking creature.

Wizards of the Coast 29 Sep 2017

Once a Vehicle becomes a creature, it behaves exactly like any other artifact creature. It can't attack unless you've controlled it continuously since your turn began, it can block if it's untapped, it can be tapped to pay a Vehicle's crew cost, and so on.

Wizards of the Coast 29 Sep 2017

Creatures that crew a Vehicle aren't attached to it or related in any other way. Effects that affect the Vehicle, such as by destroying it or giving it a +1/+1 counter, don't affect the creatures that crewed it.

Wizards of the Coast 29 Sep 2017

Vehicle is an artifact type, not a creature type. A Vehicle that's crewed won't normally have any creature type.

Wizards of the Coast 29 Sep 2017

Any untapped creature you control can be tapped to pay a crew cost, even one that just came under your control.

Wizards of the Coast 29 Sep 2017

When a Vehicle becomes a creature, that doesn't count as having a creature enter the battlefield. The permanent was already on the battlefield; it only changed its types. Abilities that trigger whenever a creature enters the battlefield won't trigger.

Zurgo Helmsmasher

Wizards of the Coast 20 Sep 2014

If, during your declare attackers step, Zurgo is tapped or is affected by a spell or ability that says it can't attack, then it doesn't attack. If there's a cost associated with having Zurgo attack, you aren't forced to pay that cost, so it doesn't have to attack in that case either.

Wizards of the Coast 20 Sep 2014

Each time a creature dies, check whether Zurgo had dealt any damage to it at any time during that turn. If so, Zurgo's ability will trigger. It doesn't matter who controlled the creature or whose graveyard it went to.

Wizards of the Coast 20 Sep 2014

If Zurgo enters the battlefield before the combat phase, it will attack that turn if able. If it enters the battlefield after combat, it won't attack that turn and will usually be available to block on the following turn.

Wizards of the Coast 20 Sep 2014

You still choose which player or planeswalker Zurgo Helmsmasher attacks.
