The Phasing of Zhalfir Rulings
- Sep 9, 2022 An attacking or blocking creature that phases out is removed from combat.
- Sep 9, 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.
- Sep 9, 2022 As a Saga with read ahead enters the battlefield, its controller chooses a number from one to that Saga's greatest chapter number. The Saga enters the battlefield with the chosen number of lore counters. Neither choosing the number nor putting the counters on the Saga use the stack, and neither can be responded to.
- Sep 9, 2022 As a permanent 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 permanent does, and they'll phase in still attached to it.
- Sep 9, 2022 Choices made for permanents as they entered the battlefield are remembered when they phase in.
