Purphoros, God of the Forge Rulings
- Jan 24, 2020 As a God enters the battlefield, your devotion to its color will determine whether any replacement effects that affect creatures entering the battlefield apply to that God. Because replacement effects are considered before the God is on the battlefield, the mana symbols in its mana cost won't be counted when determining this.
- Jan 24, 2020 Counters put on a God remain on it while it's not a creature, even if they have no effect.
- Jan 24, 2020 If a God is attacking or blocking and it stops being a creature, it will be removed from combat. It won't rejoin combat if it resumes being a creature later during that combat.
- Jan 24, 2020 If a God stops being a creature, it loses the type creature and the creature type God. It continues to be a legendary enchantment.
- Jan 24, 2020 If an effect causes a God to lose all abilities, its ability that causes it to stop being a creature still applies if appropriate.
