Growing Dread Rules Text & Legality
View on Scryfall ↗Flash
When this enchantment enters, manifest dread. (Look at the top two cards of your library. Put one onto the battlefield face down as a 2/2 creature and the other into your graveyard. Turn it face up any time for its mana cost if it's a creature card.)
Whenever you turn a permanent face up, put a +1/+1 counter on it.
Growing Dread is legal in Standard, Pioneer, Modern, Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Pauper.
Growing Dread Rulings
- Sep 20, 2024 A permanent that turns face up or face down changes characteristics but is otherwise the same permanent. Spells and abilities that were targeting that permanent and Auras and Equipment that were attached to that permanent aren't affected unless the new characteristics of the object change the legality of those targets or attachments.
- Sep 20, 2024 Any time you have priority, you can turn a manifested permanent you control face up by revealing that it's a creature card (ignoring any copy effects or type-changing effects that might be applying to it) and paying its mana cost. This is a special action. It doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to.
- Sep 20, 2024 At any time, you can look at a face-down spell or permanent you control. You can't look at face-down permanents or spells you don't control unless an effect instructs or allows you to do so.
- Sep 20, 2024 Because face-down creatures don't have a name, they can't have the same name as any other creature, even another face-down creature.
- Sep 20, 2024 Because the permanent is on the battlefield both before and after it's turned face up, turning a permanent face up doesn't cause any enters-the-battlefield abilities to trigger.
