Proliferate, then choose any number of permanents you control that had a counter put on them this way. Those permanents phase out. (To proliferate, choose any number of permanents and/or players, then give each another counter of each kind already there. Treat phased-out permanents and anything attached to them as though they don't exist until their controller's next turn.)

Ripples of Potential Rulings

5 most recent
  • Nov 10, 2023 A phased-out token will phase in at the beginning of its controller's untap step just like a nontoken permanent would.
  • Nov 10, 2023 An ability that triggers "Whenever you proliferate" triggers even if you chose no permanents or players while doing so.
  • Nov 10, 2023 An attacking or blocking creature that phases out is removed from combat.
  • Nov 10, 2023 Any continuous effects with a "for as long as" duration ignore phased-out objects. If ignoring those objects causes the effect's conditions to no longer be met, the duration will expire.
  • Nov 10, 2023 As a creature is phased out, Auras and Equipment attached to it also phase out at the same time. Those Auras and Equipment will phase in at the same time that creature does, and they'll phase in still attached to that creature.
