Firebender Ascension Rulings

5 most recent
  • Oct 2, 2025 "Firebending N" is a keyword that represents the ability "Whenever this creature attacks, add N {R}. Until end of combat, you don't lose this mana as steps end."
  • Oct 2, 2025 Any other mana you add during combat will still be lost as normal when moving between steps of combat.
  • Oct 2, 2025 Firebender Ascension's ability will always go on the stack on top of the triggered ability that caused it to trigger. The copy it creates will be created on the stack on top of the original triggered ability and the copy will resolve before that ability.
  • Oct 2, 2025 Firebending abilities aren't mana abilities. They use the stack and can be responded to.
  • Oct 2, 2025 If the ability is modal (that is, it has a bulleted list of choices), the copy will have the same mode(s). You can't choose new ones.
