Detective of the Month Rulings
- Feb 2, 2024
A permanent is any object on the battlefield, including tokens and lands. Spells and emblems aren’t permanents.
- Feb 2, 2024
Ascend on a permanent isn’t a triggered ability and doesn’t use the stack. Players can respond to a spell that will give you your tenth permanent, but they can’t respond to you getting the city’s blessing once you control that tenth permanent. This means that if your tenth permanent is a land you play, players can’t respond before you get the city’s blessing.
- Feb 2, 2024
Gaining the city’s blessing after a Detective you control has become blocked won’t cause that Detective to become unblocked.
- Feb 2, 2024
If you cast a spell with ascend, you don't get the city’s blessing until it resolves. Players may respond to that spell by trying to change whether you get the city’s blessing.
- Feb 2, 2024
If you control ten permanents but don’t control a permanent or resolving spell with ascend, you don’t get the city’s blessing. For example, if you control ten permanents, lose control of two, then cast Detective of the Month, you won’t have the city’s blessing.
