The Masamune Rulings

5 most recent
  • Jun 6, 2025 An ability of the equipped creature or an emblem you own that triggers when a creature "leaves the battlefield" will trigger twice if that creature leaves the battlefield by dying.
  • Jun 6, 2025 An ability of the equipped creature that triggers when a card is put into a graveyard "from anywhere" triggers twice only if (a) a creature card was put into a graveyard from the battlefield and (b) The Masamune is still on the battlefield and attached to the creature with the relevant ability. (For abilities of emblems you own, the same is true, except The Masamune must simply be attached to a creature you control.)
  • Jun 6, 2025 An ability that triggers on an event that causes a creature to die doesn't trigger twice. For example, an ability that triggers "whenever you sacrifice a creature" triggers only once.
  • Jun 6, 2025 If a creature dying at the same time as the equipped creature (including the equipped creature itself dying) causes a triggered ability of the equipped creature or an emblem you own to trigger, that ability triggers an additional time.
  • Jun 6, 2025 If you somehow control two of The Masamune and they're equipped to creatures you control, a creature dying causes abilities of emblems you own to trigger three times, not four. (If they're equipped to the same creature, the abilities of the equipped creature will also trigger three times.)
