Slip Out the Back Rulings
- Apr 29, 2022 An attacking or blocking creature that phases out is removed from combat.
- Apr 29, 2022 Any continuous effects with a “for as long as” duration, such as that of Extraction Specialist, ignore phased-out objects. If ignoring those objects causes the effect's conditions to no longer be met, the duration will expire.
- Apr 29, 2022 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.
- Apr 29, 2022 Choices made for permanents as they entered the battlefield are remembered when they phase in.
- Apr 29, 2022 Permanents phase back in during their controller's untap step, immediately before that player untaps their permanents. Creatures that phase in this way are able to attack and pay a cost of {T} during that turn. If a permanent had counters on it when it phased out, it will have those counters when it phases back in.
