Ba Sing Se Rulings
- Oct 2, 2025 "Earthbend N" means "Target land you control becomes a 0/0 land creature with haste in addition to its other types. Put N +1/+1 counters on it. When it dies or is exiled, return it to the battlefield tapped under your control."
- Oct 2, 2025 Earthbend doesn't give the land you control a color. As most lands are colorless, in most cases the resulting land creature will also be colorless.
- Oct 2, 2025 If a land was animated by earthbend and would go to any zone other than the graveyard or exile, it will not be returned to the battlefield by the delayed triggered ability created by earthbend.
- Oct 2, 2025 If one of these lands enters at the same time as any number of basic lands, those other lands are not counted when determining if this land enters tapped or untapped.
- Oct 2, 2025 If the targeted land becomes an illegal target before the spell or ability that includes earthbend resolves, earthbend does nothing. If the spell or ability didn't have other targets, it won't resolve.
